Tiatr, Mhoji Maim Mhoji Sasumaim written by comedian Agostinho and directed by comedian Joyel carries a good script and sleek direction.

The entire presentation focuses on inter-religious marriage and the events that follow within the families. There’s a surprising twist revealed only in the final scene, when you realize the cat is out of the bag. Until then, a good dose of suspense keeps the show interesting.

ABOUT THE TIATR

Joy (Aaron Colaco), a Catholic boy, is friends with Sheetal (Tracy de Calangute), a Hindu girl living in Mumbai, and he eventually falls in love with her. 

On the home front, Joy’s parents could not get along, and eventually, his father, who had become an alcoholic, passed away.

Joy’s mother, Ivy (Dola), moves to Mumbai, where she meets businessman Sanjay Naik (Pradeep Naik). After interacting with him, she agrees to care for his orphaned children, Ravi (Tony de Ribandar) and Sheetal (Tracy de Calangute).

When the truth about Joy and Sheetal’s relationship is revealed, Sheetal receives full support from her father, but Ivy disapproves of the match. Back in Goa, Joy earns the support of his uncle, Charles (Benny de Aldona), who raised him in his mother’s absence and stands by his nephew.

With a civil marriage planned in Goa, Joy travels to Mumbai to set the date—but what unfolds next, through a series of unexpected twists, makes the second half a must-watch.

So, where does Joy truly belong? Whose daughter is Sheetal? Can such a relationship survive in future? And will their bond stand the test of marriage?

BEHIND THE SCENES

Judging by the title, many might expect a typical story of mother, daughter, and mother-in-law. But watching the tiatr reveals the deeper vision of the writer and director.

As artistes, Pradeep excels in his role as a father, and he is ably supported by Dola. Benny de Aldona and Tony de Ribandar provide strong support to the main cast. Aaron and Tracy de Calangute play the lovebirds and deliver strong performances in their roles.

For some laughter, there’s Lorsu (comedian Joyel), Filsu (Flavia) and TikTok (Risma) who form a comical trio on stage and entertain with clean comedy.

Aaron appears on stage for the opening song performance, followed by solos from Benny de Aldona, Daniel, Tracy de Calangute and Tony de Ribandar. There’s a solo by Dola and Tracy de Calangute and both songs carry good messages.

A comedy solo by Risma, and a trio by Tony de Ribandar, Benny de Aldona and comedian Joyel are equally entertaining and receive encores from the audience.
