Adapted by legendary playwright Arun Mukhopadhyay from Ajit Dalvi's Marathi play Mahatma Vs Gandhi, the play opens with the haunting sound of three gunshots and the iconic "Hey Ram", setting the stage for a powerful portrayal of the Gandhi family's struggles.

The father-son debate, combined with Harilal's longing for recognition, offers a new and palpable human insight on the life of the Father of our Nation.

Is Harilal the true hero, and Gandhi the villain? Not quite. We are leaving the conclusion open for the audience to decide.

Sujan Mukhopadhyay, actor and director of the theatre group Chetana, stated, "the play's relevance is timeless since its written with a focus on family conflicts, human relationships, and their complexities. The theme remains relevant as long as we live in modern society."

Kanchan Datta, President of Advertising Club Calcutta, shared, "It is interesting how advertising as a discipline is very intricately related to many artforms. We are all about celebrating great storytelling and stand by true freedom of expression. We've always wanted to transcend our community vision beyond just advertising through recognizing and honouring creativity in the larger domain."
