KAUWA CHALA HANS KI CHAL
Mr. Jalan in the role of Mr.
Jhunjhunwala was splendid. He took a straight approach
handling the funny details intelligently. Mr. Jalan’s
Jhunjhunwala was an apt depiction of a middle class trader’s
lust for pomp and pageantry.

RAJA LEAR
The success of Lear on stage
depends, largely on the acting of the protagonist. ……we felt
more for Lear’s suffering as a father King or hero, as Jalan
never conveyed the authority associated with a larger than
life leader of men……..

RAMKATHA RAMKAHANI
Chetna merges herself in the
action much like a virtuoso kathakar, becoming the characters,

them, even singing…
-Times of India New Delhi,
3.12.1995
Chetna in this production
combines her histrionic talent with her dancing ability to

close quarters make him stand out in the lead role.

compliment each other more brooding, the other more
dispassionate.
-Telegraph, 11.3.2005
ADHEY ADHUREY
Padatik’s presentation
managed to bring to life all the issues that the play raises.
Adept direction, apt décor and good lighting backed by a very
powerful performance by Chetna Jalan as Savitri, the female
protagonist brought out all the subtle nuances which made the
play such a classic. Shyamanand Jalan as the bitter husband
was good……..
