First Run Through - Sujit's Post-mortem













This sunday 5/17/09 first run-through was successfully completed to the satisfaction of the ultimate surgeon of Naatak, Sujit Saraf. He definitely thinks the audience will like it and will be shocked by the concept and had the "Sujit-ish" inputs of " चढ़ जाओ, dont walk tentatively - walk deliberately, इमोशन दिखाओ face पे, dont stand like bollywood kings like Prithviraj Kapoor - kings are humans too, walk and talk normally".

In these photos director Vinita Belani, Sujit Saraf and a Scene from the rehearsal.

  2. The truth - Okkak is normal with one issue; Rajiv is one issue who is abnormal. So dont know what to do with Sujit's input. I am confused.
