Breaking shackles

What: Young Meeta is battling with herself, trying to fit into society. Confused about her emotions, she finally finds the missing piece of her puzzle in another girl, Nama, who makes her feel things she had never felt in her life. Will she be able to express her queer feelings to society? Will society accept her, without questioning her choice? Vijay Tendulkar’s play Meeta ki Kahani has been conceptualised, along the complexities of relationships, based on perceptions as well as understanding of moral values, reaching out to women in particular. Regardless of Article 377, has society been able to break the mental block and give acceptance to it? For people like Meeta, is ending their life due to inadequacy, a solution? This play urges the viewers to think and question such issues.
