Play written by one of the most prolific, world-renowned Indian writers, Gurcharan Das, Nine Jakhoo Hill explores the financial situation and the dilemma a post partition Punjabi family faces in 1960s Shimla. Will the financial burden faced by Amirta and her daughter Anusuya become a point of departure with the advent of upwardly mobile Chitra and her son Deepak? This game of everlasting losses is played through a frivolous game of "truth and dare" by the game master, Rai Saheb pawning each person, including Karan, to his gain alone.
