Natrang stages ‘Koi Aur Raasta’ at Sunday Theatre Series in Jammu

Jammu, 30-06-2024: Natrangon Sunday staged the Hindi play ‘Koi Aur Raasta,’ written by Pratap Sehgal and directed by Neeraj Kant, at Natrang Studio Theatre, Jammu. This event was part of Natrang’s weekly theatre series, ‘Sunday Theatre.’
‘Koi Aur Raasta’ delves into the complexities of man-woman relationships within the context of marriage, presenting a nuanced exploration that resonated deeply with the audience.
