Ritambhara Sahni review on Selfie - English Play |
As i reached the venue with my very old and dear friend - 'Cyrus Dastoor' who is a big director and producer in Parsi and Gujrati theatre , i saw Paritosh Painter [producer of the play ] chatting with an extremely talented dancer from my time - Bhaktiar Irani who is also now an actor. Used to be a fan of his dancing and now all his work on television. Tanaaz and Bhaktiar are such an awesome talented couple. Paritosh Painter from Campus serial long ago who eventually made such a big name in theatre. He and Ninad Kamat of course. Amazing actors and have done some beautiful plays with Dinyar Contractor. Well , i also saw Mr. Dinyar Contractor and it was so amazing to watch him come in early for the play . His role as the principal in the movie 'KHILADI' still makes me laugh so much. Also saw Paintal with his son waiting outside with everyone waiting for the play to start. Was lovely to see all these talented people.
I got to know about this play from a strong and beautiful personality i recently met and is an amazing person - Priya Malik from big boss fame. I am so in love with her intelligence and so proud to meet her as my student for belly dance at my institute - Belly Dance Institute Mumbai. It was so wonderful to watch her perform in this marvelous play and it was her first English play ever and it just dint feel that way. Her performance was so amazing and experienced.

Well- Selfie is an impactfull play and it makes you laugh - there is a lot of comedy, makes you think at every point and it also shows you how strong women can be and their strength when they come together. The 5 women, initially meet and start to judge each other and just like in reality we all have something good and bad going in our lives so do they. However this judging eventually brings them to eventually realize and understand each others as strangers and each of them brings out the best in the others. I laughed and cried in this play.
Oh YES-- this play is extremely funny . Tanaaz Irani can make you laugh and how!!!! The jugalbandi between Dimple Shah and Tanaaz Irani throughout the play makes you laugh so much and cry as well. They did create magic with their acting and jugalbandi. Dimple Shah mam was just so amazing. Kishwar Merchant , Shweata Gulati played their roles really well and Priya Malik looked so glamorous playing an actress and she so suited the role. Her acting was powerful and so apt.
Ritambhara Sahni of Belly Dance Institute Mumbai - review on Selfie - English Play |
The play is nothing about taking a selfie except when they all positively unite towards the end and take several selfies. A play for all females to witness. There is a lot to learn from this as well emotionally and mentally. What i follow and have realized once again watching this play is that by judging someone i have always created negativity within me. We all have good and bad in our lives and no one is perfect but if we can be there for someone and bring them out of their sorrow without being judgmental...will always earn us those positive points from the universe.
I loved the way Tanaaz Irani introduces everyone in the end and still continues to make us laugh and gives the credit of her acting career to Mr. Dinyar Contractor who she has worshiped and worked with ever since the age of 8 years.
This play is superb and its a must watch.
PS : Tanaaz Irani plays the role of a 56 year old Parsi woman but looks so beautiful ...i have no words .
