Court Case 420
Ronak and I collaborated on the following play. The plot and details are his. I just executed his ideas.
Front of Stage (Steps Outside Court Building)
| Reporter: | This is Mr. Chakrborty from Kal Tak, reporting from the steps of the courthouse. Today an astonishing case will be heard by Justice Biswas. A common man is suing three of the most influential groups in India: the cricketers, the politicians, and the Bollywood actors. "What is he suing them for?" you ask. Mental trauma and defrauding the people of India. Mr. Sharma of the defense, is just coming up the steps now. Mr. Sharma, what do you have to say about this case? It is unprecedented, is it not? (holds microphone out to defending lawyer) |
| Defending Lawyer: | Unprecedented? I would say unbelievable. (smirks, looks very confident) Some people have too much time on their hands, time they could be spending watching "Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki." |
| Reporter: | Thank you, Mr. Sharma. Here comes the Prosecution. Mr. Varma, do you think you have a good chance of winning this case? (holds microphone out to the prosecuting lawyer) |
| Prosecuting Lawyer: | (pops antacids, looks very nervous, nods his head quickly, repeatedly) |
| Reporter: | Sir, do you have a comment? |
| Common Man: | (grabs the microphone) This is a case whose time has come. How long will we sit back and suffer and be oppressed? How long? |
| Reporter: | (takes back microphone) I guess we will find out the answer to that question in just a few minutes as the case begins. |
