“Drishtikanya depicts a universal truth. The play is a telling account of how truth is often compromised to keep up the pretence of a sophisticated society” – The Hindu
“When a person begins to see people for what they are, conflicts are bound to happen – DNA

Inspired from Daphne Du Maurier’s “The Blue Lenses” , DRISHTIKANYA unfolds a comedy of illusions. It revolves around Tamasa, a blind lady who regains her lost ey sight after 8 long years in a cabin of Bright Eye Nursing Home. As the bandages are removed, Tamasa sees everything – or rather, everyone – entirely differently; every human face appears to be that of an animal!

Her apparently loving husband, the car nurse, her noble father-in-law, everyone has an animal face. Innocently blurting out what she sees, Tamasa becomes a mirror reflecting unpalatable truths to everyone creating confusion, frustration, drawing ire – all at once.

Many hilarious situations a crafted on stage as the drama slowly progresses revolving around Tamasa’s strange vision and her relationship with each of the characters. But, it takes a sharp turn wh Tamasa suddenly starts seeing the doctor’s human face and all the “animals” get together in a conspiracy against her. Did Tamasa’s world fall apart? Will Tamasa be able to see the world and its people as they are? Can the doctor fix her vision to “normal”?

The play brings out the idiosyncrasies of our so-called “sophisticated” society using apt comedies and sharp characters that are bound to trigger questions on faith, libel and truth from the clutches of the societal norms.
