Bring Your Own Ravana

di Chinmoy Mukherjee (Autore)

Chinmoy Mukherjee, 2025

In the quaint village of Damra, where ancient myths like the Ramayana infuse everyday life, Professor Subhasish disrupts tradition by announcing the "Bring Your Own Ravana: Sita Haran Comedy Challenge." This audacious contest invites twenty couples to reenact Ravana's abduction of Sita with humorous twists, where Sita imposes absurd conditions, leading to Ravana's comedic failure and her return laughing. Through the eyes of young Rohan, burdened by mundane worries like Wi-Fi bills, and ambitious actress Priya, the story unfolds as a vibrant clash of sacred epic and modern absurdity. Contenders range from slick influencers to traditional performers, transforming the village ground into a chaotic stage of rehearsals and performances filled with slapstick, satire, and heartfelt moments. As the competition progresses through fiascoes like mud-trapped Ravanas, intellectual deconstructions, burnt curries, and live-streamed arguments, Rohan and Priya emerge as crowd favorites with their relatable domestic comedy, culminating in a triumphant finale where Priya's laughter subverts the myth's gravity. They win the prize, strengthening their bond and inspiring a village theatre group. The contest revitalizes Damra, proving myths are living stories adaptable to contemporary life, fostering laughter, creativity, and community in the process. Bengali translation has been provided at the end.
