Kishan vs Kanhaiya

I went to see a Paresh Rawal play - Kishan vs Kanhaiya. I liked it to an extent. It deals with the atheism vs believing God. The good part was that they chose this subject, still and always a favorite. The bad part was that in all such plays, believers always win.

The premise of the play is that Kishan lal's is an atheist whose work gets destroyed due to an earthquake. His insurance company refuses to pay the cost because it was an act of God. So Kishan decides to sue god (Kanhaiya, hence the name Kishan vs Kanhaiya) in court and then wins the case in end.

Paresh Rawal plays the protagonist, this is the kind of role in which he excels and its truly great to watch him. His dialogue delivery and sheer timing makes the play watchable. The supporting cast is quite disappointing as per me, even their direction is straight out of some Bollywood movie.

Some of the dialogues written about atheism, some about value of hard work are quite good. Overall an average play.
