4.5/5 To me Girish Karnad was a decent Bollywood character actor. Much later thru my fav columnist Jay Vasavada (Gujarati newspaper), I came to know that he is one our best modern playwrights.
I am really wary of classics and even more of plays but thought of giving it a try as my GR friends had rated it 4+.
Firstly, the play is clever and enjoyable. There is not a single dull moment. However, read it slowly to enjoy it fully. Also there r no meaningless sentences which may have deep meanings in their 100th layer. Very very well crafted. Tughlaq and his era r brought to life without bring apologist or judgemental.
And the ultimate test - when it ends u wish Karnad had written a longer book. Look forward to a movie adaptation or a live performance some day.
PS:- Actually have a hard copy edition of "3 plays" by GK and hope d other 2 r as good. Shouldnt have rated this book but couldnt resist it.
