Kaun Draupadi
Kaun Draupadi? unfolds entirely in the backstage chaos of a Mahabharata play on performance day. As the front curtain rises, egos collide behind it. Dravya, a relatively new actor cast as Draupadi, becomes the eye of a storm when her closeness with the play’s powerful lead, Behram Mistry, is questioned.
Missed cues, a missing prop, and a red bag spark paranoia and power struggles. Old actors feel replaced, young ones feel cheated, and accusations fly about love, favoritism, and ambition. As Dravya breaks down under the weight of judgment, betrayal, and humiliation, her final monologue blurs with Draupadi’s — turning the stage into a courtroom of conscience.
This backstage play within a play dismantles theatre’s sacred illusion, asking: who plays Draupadi in real life — the wronged, the used, or the survivor?
