• Bade Bhaisahab…bringing to light two very innocent characters, two brothers and their simple, amusing and entertaining ‘nok-jhonk’- by the time the story ends, you really wish you knew the two of them.

• Rasik Sampadak…a flirtatious editor who is a widower and finds himself imagining his dream woman through a poem written by her, only to find himself running helter-skelter once he comes face to face with her. Why? Find yourself laughing your head out when you see the play unfold.

• Aansuon ki Holi…is a simple story of a simple man who doesn’t like to celebrate festivals and how he has to bear his notorious brother-in-laws who insist on making his ‘Holi’ one he could cry over. However, a truth lying buried inside of him comes out in the open towards the end and leaves us all appreciate the true meaning of festivities.

Known for their simplicity, proximity to reality and an uncanny sense of humour, all these stories hold a message that somehow touches you. Though he is known for the serious issues and his satire, these stories will reveal another shade of Premchand’s work; the witty and humorous style he also possessed.
