                 On 8^th August 2017 Film screening committee of Department of English organized the screening of one act Hindi play named “Digdarshak”, which was performed in eNatya Shoth 2017. It was one act play written by Priyam Jani and directed by Rishit Jhaveri. This play portrait main conflict between theater and cinema. 

             We have seen two main characters in this play one was Digdarshak himself and anther was his student (actor). This entire play performed in flashback technique. The main thing of this play was Director tainted his student for his best acting. Director of this play dedicates his entire life to this theater and not gave much time to their family. He also wants his students gave top priority to this theater than their home. 

            We have see many theme in this play like, (1) theater v/s cinema. In this play we have see that director strongly supporter of the theater and actor is supporter of cinema. In this play we see that how actor Use Theater as prop for enters in the cinema so Director was disappointed from the actor. (2) Sacrifice for theater. We have seen in this play Director of this play sacrifice his entire life for theater. (3) Theater v/s Family. In this play we have seen that director’s top priority is the theater rather than their family. In the beginning of this play Myth of Ashwatthama also symbolically represents.
