A Musical Comedy in Hindi & English

An NCPA Presentation in collaboration with Mandali Talkies

The story Mahanagar ke Jugnu is not about love, but it is about love. It is not a tragedy, but sometimes feels like one. There isn’t much of a story, but it is everyone’s story. What would you call the joy of meeting sadness when you want to be sad? Would you say it’s a sad or a happy encounter?

On a lonely night, Jugnu, an insomniac, sits by himself complaining about his lack of ideas. As he tries to put pen to paper, a devastated dream (Sapna) and his pragmatic existence (Zoya) decide to confront him. His unfulfilled dream, the reality of his existence in this moment, his feelings and the thoughts that are jumbled in his head, come together to bully him, demanding to be written down. As Jugnu learns of all their stories, he comes to uncover his own. Will he continue his relationship with Zoya, will he reconcile with Sapna, will he abandon his thoughts, or will he write a new story? Mahanagar ke Jugnu is a foot-tapping musical comedy that will make you laugh out loud at life’s beautiful ironies.
