Goa tiatr review: Job-hunting woes are the focus of ‘Fatrachea Kallzacho’
Comedian Ambe’s Easter release, Fatrachea Kallzacho, tackles the widespread corruption in many government offices. It highlights how extortion and false promises by influential figures deeply affect the common man, often leaving the poor feeling dejected and hopeless.
ABOUT THE TIATR
The tiatr Fatrachea Kallzacho centers on a postman, Moses, and his daughter Melany (Melany), a recent graduate with high hopes of landing a government job.
On the other hand, Moses’ brother Jerry (Satyawant Tari) has a carefree son, Maverick (Maverick), who quickly makes plans to go abroad in search of a better future.
With his father’s help, Maverick’s plans fall into place, and he prepares to head to the UK. Meanwhile, Pooja (Sonia), a social worker, promises Melany a government job — but demands Rs 20 lakhs in return.
A worried Moses struggles to figure out how to raise such a large amount, yet doesn’t hesitate to hand it over to Pooja in hopes of securing his daughter’s future.
Will Pooja keep her promise to Moses? When he knocks at her door, she avoids him. The social worker plays hide and seek, leaving him disheartened.
Meanwhile, Maverick returns from the UK pleased with his earnings, but soon falls into the trap of gambling. He even mocks Melany without hesitation. Will his hard-earned money secure his future — or be squandered on lavish and reckless choices?
Will Pooja keep her promise to Moses? When he knocks at her door, she avoids him. The social worker plays hide and seek, leaving him disheartened.
While others secure government jobs by offering hefty bribes—especially in departments like the police—Moses, despite taking a loan and meeting the social worker’s demands, is left with nothing. Watch the show to find out what happens next.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Moses portrays a strong fatherly figure, well-supported by Melany. Satyawant Tari and Maverick deliver commendable performances, with solid support from Lanessa. Sonia shines in the villain's role, and does full justice to her character.
Lawrence de Tiracol, as PSI, and Santan, as a bouncer, seamlessly fit into their respective characters. Damiao makes brief, but convincing appearances as a wealthy man. For some light-hearted entertainment, comedian Ambe, alongside Humbert, Amresh, and Melisa, entertain the audience with good dose of comedy pills.
The show kicks off with Melisa and Lanessa performing the opening song, followed by solo renditions from Xavier Gomes, Melisa, Santan, Marcus Vaz, and Lawrence de Tiracol. Additional songs are performed by Amresh, Ambe, Lawrence de Tiracol, and Melisa.
Maverick’s comedy solo and a song by Xavier Gomes and Marcus Vaz, highlighting the vulgar comedy often found in tiatrs, received an enthusiastic encore. However, a duet and trio were missing from the presentation.
Offstage, Anthony de Velim (trumpet) and his band — Miles (second trumpet), Asley (bass), Joshua (keyboard), and Venon (drums) — provided good live music. The stage design has been created by Anthony de Ambaji, with lighting assistance from Dinesh.
