About The Event
La-Ilaaj is a contemporary play that explores love, passion, responsibility, and self-respect. Set in a city neighborhood around a local band party, it follows different characters as they struggle to define love in their own lives. Santosh, madly in love with Lovely, harms himself to prove his devotion, but she walks away. Maria challenges this mindset, declaring that love must be rooted in self-respect and responsibility
Jugal, a young singer who longs to move beyond his father's band, discovers the seven stages of love after meeting Maria: attraction, affection, trust, devotion, and finally sacrifice. Meanwhile, Ballu, a local goon, threatens Maria in the name of love, but she firmly rejects him, highlighting the truth that "forced love is not love and that women are not to blame for saying 'no."Conflicts within the band raise questions of honor, entitlement, and responsibility, while Sushma's struggle with domestic violence shows that fate changes only when we make decisions. As Jugal's love deepens and Ballu's obsession grows, the play asks: Is love truly essential for life, or an illusion that blinds us from ourselves? In the end, La-Ilaaj affirms that true love is not pain or force, but respect, trust, and freedom. It breaks the myth of forced love, teaching that No means No," and that women are born not to suffer, but to choose.
