The wheels of Gorur Garir Headlight started moving with the direction of Sri Saroj Roy, the creator of NATASENA, on May 8th, 1972, the first anniversary of the Play-Group. Till now, the play has come across 1200 of successful staging. What is there in this play? Is it only a story or play acting or something else? Let’s say… Swabalambi Ghosh, a successful businessman, at the dictate of his deceased wife desires to form a play troupe. That is why an ‘Ad’ is given in the newspaper. For the recruitment of a playwright, there comes a Confectioner. For actors, there appear a Stammerer, a ’Sadhu Bangla’ speaking retired Military person who is deaf in his left ear, an Usurer, a Flirting Hero, an Opera Actor and two Rock-Ruffians. Also, a Jacky Director comes to give direction. But, where is the actress? At last, Swabalambi Ghosh finds none other than sister-in-law. She is doing research. Her subject is ‘Predilection, Love and its emotional Psyche in modern man and woman’. She starts experiment of it in the troupe itself. .….. It is fun every stage. Play within play. What a hilarious situation!

Sri Saroj Roy, the playwright, used to say, ‘it is a nonsense comedy’. But, why is it not a satire? Because, the works mess up in assemble of the worthless. However, it is a funny fun-fiesta journey between sense and non-sense in the selection of subject, dialogues, action & direction. As per The Times of India’s survey, this play is the immaculate choice of the myriad Kolkata City dwellers as one of the 10 Best Plays during the last ten years.
