                  This session  became very knowledgeable for us, because as a student of literature it's a good opportunity to watch drama.This play taught many things related to theater and how can we perform drama well. And both the characters are Gujarati and they performed Hindi drama so it's a good job because it's little bit difficult also. They used very less property as well as in a simple dress ( Black and white clothes) they performed good, because their acting was superb, flashback technique  used well in this dram , and only two characters cover entire stage , and how beautifully both characters means Actor and directer played more role at a same time.

The main themes   of this play are 1) Cinema V/S Theater : , in which we find during the watching play that , how the man of theater try to save the original form of art like drama . And it's very debatable point also, and performed this point in very interesting way also in drama. But directer of this play not criticized any of one but he try to gave important of  balance of both the things.   2) Sacrifice for the theater: As a artist which kind of sacrifice this character  did it shows very well. 3) Theater vs Family: this play gave the massage that balance is necessary between your personal and professional life, " Apno ko Janna vo bhi ek Kala hai ". spend some time for your family also. so, symbol and language also used well. 

                                   Myth of Ashwatthama also symbolically represent.  Relation of student as an  artist and teacher as a trainer are also portrayed good. So such an interesting play.  This play is like a Kunstlerroman play.
