Description (English)

The title of the play itself gives the audience a clear idea of its storyline. Along with various dramatic elements, the playwright has primarily emphasized humor (Hasya Rasa) as the main sentiment of the play.

The story revolves around an elderly wealthy merchant (Sheth) who is determined to marry again despite his old age. Ironically, he wishes to marry a young girl who is nearly the same age as his own daughter. At the same time, the love story of Manoj and Meena forms an important part of the plot.

The arrival of several other characters creates confusion, misunderstandings, and unexpected complications in their relationship, resulting in many humorous situations. The miserly Sheth also faces troubles when his money is stolen, leading to panic, frustration, and comic incidents. Eventually, after a series of amusing events and misunderstandings, everything is resolved peacefully and satisfactorily.

The play is divided into two acts and provides light-hearted entertainment filled with laughter, comic situations, and enjoyable dramatic moments. Its humorous treatment of human weaknesses and social attitudes makes it an engaging and entertaining theatrical work.
