Although Noman is repeating 9th class for the third time, still he is barely passing in his subjects. His parents are quite worried for their son especially his dear mother.
+ High Points
i – Arshad Malik played the role of Jabbar was not only hilariously one but was performed with such comfort and was successful in stealing the show. Arshad is a great veteran actor whose performance is most often memorable.
ii – After such a long time, really enjoyed Ahmer Hussain’s performance at a theatre play. The main reason is by offered to him not one but multiple interesting roles especially the main supporting role as Zubair Mamu. Although I am very fond of his comic roles, which he plays them very wisely. Other Honorable Mentions: Rest of the cast.
iii – The playwright was magnificently improvised by the cast members.
iv – The punch lines and jokes were amusing.
v – Good direction was able to convey the message to audience with ease.
+ Low Points
i – Since some of the stars were playing more than one character therefore, the change of costumes and props would have made easier for the audience.
ii – Lack of proper costumes / wardrobe for the characters.
+ Overall
Kheil, Kheil Meh is an enjoyable play, full of laughter, worthy direction, good performances and effective writing which made its mark.
