All the seats of Sant Gadge Auditorium of SNA were occupied much before the given time.

"The play was based on the happenings which take place daily in the court which people are unaware of. Since it was the debut performance for most of the actors, they used to practise daily for 3-4 hours to overcome their stage fear," shared the director, Swatantra Kale, adding, "It took three months for the lawyers to practise for the two-hour play. They used to gather after their work and practise for 3-4 hours daily."A scene from the play (BCCL/ Aditya Yadav)The actors talked about the newly built High Court in Gomti Nagar and compared it to the old one in Qaiserbagh. Talking about the canteen in the newly building, where the lawyers have to cover a long distance even for a cup of tea, made people laugh. Vijay Krishna’s comic character of Birendra was loved and appreciated by all.— Adnaan Rizvi(L) Swatantra Kale (R) Veena (BCCL/ Aditya Yadav)(L) Dr Seema and Sana (R) IB Singh (BCCL/ Aditya Yadav)
