Review: DEATH AND THE MAIDEN at National Centre for Performing Arts Mumbai

by Richa Das — May 18, 2026

by Richa Das — April 5, 2024
'Jaat UtPaat' chronicles the story of three characters chasing each other in the maze of love in a world drenched in casteism. Their fate is tied to their birth and the story does not attempt to subvert it. Throughout my viewing of the production, I was unable to forget the archaic notions perpetuat...
