Savio (Jerson), a driver by profession, is happily married to Juvella (Meena). His brother, Zubi (Francisco), an engineer by profession, is in love with Ankita (Valency), daughter of MLA Soares (Jaju). But fearing opposition, Zubi does not know how to put it across to his father (Rose Ferns) about his fiancée. Savio and Juvella decide to assist Zubi in strengthening his ties with Nikita. Just when things seem to settle down and Zubi gets a green signal from his father, Nikita’s father shows up and shows strong opposition to the young couple. Over a period of time, things materialize and Zubi brings Nikita in the family as his beloved wife. But there is a hidden agenda behind the whole drama.
One fine day, after a mishap, in order to recuperate from his injury, MLA Soares seeks shelter at his son-in-law’s residence. What plans do father and daughter work upon to destroy the family that lived in harmony? Why do they both seek the disaster and ruin of Savio? Will they find success in their mission? With elections just around the corner, although Rose Ferns’ 89th production ‘Atam Yeyat’ sounds to be related to politics, it is more of a family melodrama, with several twists and turns in every scene.
The fine scripted tiatr develops at every fold and a message of love and forgiveness is loud and clear in the concluding scene. Valency is at her best in the negative role, doling out different shades. So is Meena Goes, this time around in a serious role, after the comedy acts. As siblings, Francisco and Jerson give fine performance, but the former needs to tone down his acting skills. As usual, Jaju stands out as a villain, while his brother, Rose Ferns is inimitable in his dialogue delivery.
It’s nice to see Jaju back on stage joining hands with his brother after almost 16 years. Michael makes a cameo and delivers comfortably. Comedian Nato, Joyel and Dorothy entertain with enough dose of laughter pills. In the category of songs, songs by Joyel, Dorothy and Nato, Saby de Divar, Jaju, Michael and Saby de Divar receive encores, while the remaining songs by Michael, Meena, Jerson, Jerson and Francisco, Jaju and Michael are entertaining. Songs on politics by Saby de Divar and Rose Ferns are thought-provoking. Stage sets by Anthony de Ambaji are good, except for the dull blue curtain utilized for comedy. Tremson has handled the lights effectively.
