GHASHIRAM KOTWAL Story :

Set against the decadent backdrop of 18th-century Pune under Peshwa rule, Vijay Tendulkar’s masterpiece (adapted by Prof. Vasant Deo) is a searing indictment of political machinations. The narrative charts the tragic ascent of Ghasiram, a humiliated North Indian Brahmin who strikes a Faustian bargain: trading his own daughter, Gauri, to the lecherous Nana Phadnavis in exchange for the iron sceptre of the Kotwal (Police Chief). What follows is a reign of terror fueled by vengeance, spiraling into a grotesque tragedy where innocence is suffocated and morality is auctioned. A timeless satire on the corruptibility of power, where the ruler survives, but the instrument of his tyranny is thrown to the wolves.
