In a thoroughly enjoyable laughter ridden two hours of moves and countermoves, Director Girish Joshi brings out the stark insensitivity and selfishness of the human mind in no uncertain terms. Who gets the lady, who gets the chair? Whom does the lady favor, whom does the public uphold? Every time there is a possibility of stability, Makad the media man becomes restless and succeeds in unsettling the situation once again. Strategies are built, manipulations galore and wit abounds. He now convinces Chaku that he is not out of the race and that he can still have his love back. Then Pencil marries Pustak and things seem to come to a dead end.

Because champagne means celebration and celebration means everybody is happy which clearly does not agree with their psyche. The media and Makad meanwhile enjoy the show as long as the bottle of champagne is not opened. The two men vie for the lady’s favors just as the opposing candidates vie for public support. The duel goes on parallel to the Elections news that is being shown on TV. The story becomes a chain of witty battles between the four characters as Pustak and Chaku both woo Pencil while Makad eggs on both individually. With no answerability to an erasable past she aptly renames herself ‘Pencil’. The lady herself is unabashed about changing her mind when it suits her, and moving on with life. So, here we have the uncouth and aggressive ‘Chaku (Knife)’, who brings home the woman he would like to marry to meet his friends ‘Pustak (Book)’ who like his name goes by the book and ‘Makad’ a T.V channel journalist who could move heaven and earth to find news. The friends address each other by names they have invented on the basis of their individual personalities. The characters in the play are three roommates, of which one imagines he has found his love.

Political mind, because the manipulations may be designed and applied as much in mainstream politics as much in the personal relationships. Vivek Bele is a humorous comment made on the manipulative overtures of the political mind. Photograph From Original Maharashtra Cultural Centre Production This two act play written by Dr.
