KARACHI: There have been utterly a few films that criticize a bachelor lifestyle, and advise a life of monogamy and marriage. All good! But a account is so rehashed that it frequency has an impact. From that aspect, I.R Omar’s Horn De Ke Pass Karo offers zero new for a youngsters. It reinforces a faith of relatives who wish their children would settle down during a beginning probable age.
The play, an instrumentation of Neil Simon’s initial play Come Blow Your Horn (1961) by Mujtaba Rizvi was staged on Thursday as partial of a Karachi Theater Festival. While Rizvi can't be indicted of a old storyline, it can be argued that romantic void of a seducer lifestyle is like an jargon that has turn partial of a wording in a approach that one does not even notice it anymore.
However, what creates a play value examination is that, notwithstanding a clichéd message, Rizvi’s book offers a obvious account with small to no redundancies. Nonetheless, a categorical credit goes to a actors for elevating a play with absolute performances.
Tipu (Haris Khan), a 21-year-old virgin, leaves his home to go live with his elder hermit Ali (Ahmer Hussain) who works during their father’s utensils bureau though never lets business meddle with a good time. While Tipu is a frightened ‘mama’s boy’, Ali lives a life of a bachelor and is seen merrymaking all a time. He agrees to learn his younger hermit a few tricks by revamping his habit and introducing him to his womanlike friends. What follows is finish disharmony with play indirect between all a family members and Ali’s mixed girlfriends.
While a whole expel did sincerely well, it was Tipu and his father (Owais Mubashir) who stole a show. Tipu, with his lax suspenders and pants roughly touching his chest, and grandpa glasses, did not usually demeanour a partial though delivered a nuanced opening that done a uncover memorable. His flexibility showed when he altered his impression mid-play after apropos a approved playboy, interjection to his brother’s guidance.
It’s engaging to find him holding his brother’s place while Ali changes for a improved and quits a lifestyle he imparted on his brother.
Mubashir delivers an equally power-packed opening in a ancillary role. It is not only a discourse smoothness that takes their performances to another turn though rather a detailing of any other and a graphic characterisation as well.
Getting all a melodramatic elements in place, Horn De Ke Pass Karo should be applauded for being a finish package of a show. The play serves as a good family play that can be enjoyed some-more than once.
