A gripping and emotionally charged Indian adaptation of Othello, RANGREZZ reimagines William Shakespeare's timeless classic within a contemporary Indian socio-emotional landscape. Rooted deeply in human psychology, the play explores love, ambition, jealousy, and betrayal with a rawness that feels unsettlingly close to our own lives.
At the centre of RANGREZZ is Atharv, a charismatic, self-made young man who has risen through talent, grit, and reputation. His world appears complete when he finds love in Devika, a woman of strength, grace, and emotional clarity. Around them exists a familiar ecosystem - friends, colleagues, admirers, and silent observers. Among them is Yogi, a sharp, intelligent, and deeply insecure man whose unfulfilled ambitions turn slowly into resentment. What follows is not an explosion, but a quiet corrosion. Through casual conversations, carefully planted doubts, half-spoken truths, and emotional manipulation, Yogi begins to dismantle Atharv's inner certainty. A symbol misplaced, a gesture misunderstood, a pause loaded with meaning - each moment nudges Atharv closer to suspicion. As love clashes with pride and trust gives way to paranoia, the play unfolds as an intense psychological descent, keeping the audience uncomfortably close to every turn.
Designed and directed by the celebrated theatre showman Atul Satya Koushik, the production reflects his signature style - grand yet intimate, visually striking yet emotionally grounded. Known for mounting large-scale productions across genres, Koushik brings a refined theatrical language to this adaptation, blending spectacle with soul.
Adding gravitas to the narrative, veteran actor Dalip Tahil appears in a special role, lending depth, authority, and a commanding presence that enriches the dramatic arc of the play.
Audiences can expect to be stunned by the production's immersive design, powerful original music, evocative poetry, and finely crafted performances. Raw human emotions lie at the heart of this experience, making it not just a retelling, but a bold new interpretation - Indian adaptation that breathes fresh life into Shakespeare's immortal classic.
