Director : Shivdas Ghodke

Cast : Sulabha Arya, Siddharth Pratiwant, Deepali Badekar, Nikhil Rathod and others

Seeing his play on Mumbai’s working people’s struggles against capitalist domination, written in the 1950s, makes one realise he preceded eminent urban radical thinkers like David Harvey and Henri Lefebvre who have emphasised the concept of people’s right to the city, shape its economy, space and so on.
The city is the most suitable site for capitalist accumulation and exploitation of workers. Mumbai’s capitalists wanted to have the cake and eat it too, get all the benefits of the infrastructure and not share the surplus wealth generated by workers with the rural population. The upper class in the elite South Mumbai area look down even upon the better-off sections in other parts of Mumbai. So one can imagine their indifference, hostility to the rural masses.
