LASSANWALA Story :

Dive into the evocative world of ‘LASSANWALA’, a compelling theatrical experience set in the present-day rural heartland. This captivating play centres around Kallu Bahman, a 60-year-old Brahmin garlic farmer, whose family has cultivated the same modest plot of land for three generations. Ironically, despite his dedication to growing and selling garlic, Kallu " a man of staunch Brahmin beliefs " resolutely abstains from consuming it himself.

The story delves into the tragicomic twists that unfold as Kallu’s unwavering commitment to his traditions clashes with the modern outlook of his son and daughter-in-law. Find out what happens when a dramatic turn of events shakes his firm beliefs about the caste system, which have long defined his identity.

Vidit Tripathi’s engaging narrative tracks Kallu’s journey as he re-examines his life and relationships through a newfound lens of social equality, brought to life by Hemat Panday’s directorial excellence. Enriched with Anandi Ravi Nagar’s folk magic, this tale guides you through Kallu’s struggle and transformation, while reflecting on broader questions about the values we hold and the changes we face in a rapidly evolving world.
