Hotel Jaan-e-Jaan Captivates Audience
Arts Council of Pakistan Karachi and Stage Bugs Production presented ‘Hotel Jaan-e-Jaan,’ a comedic theatrical play recently. The audiences enjoyed the humour and farcical antics of the artists in a roller coaster story.
Starring the talented Yasir Hussain known for his captivating star presence in ‘Naach Na Jaanay,’ ‘Pawnay 14 August’ and other presentations, ‘Hotel Jaan-e-Jaan’ unfolds chaos between mixed up identities. With every twist and turn the audience found themselves immersed in the world of comedic acting.
On media night a large number of prominent personalities from showbiz industry, including President Arts Council, Karachi, Muhammad Ahmed Shah, renowned actors Humayun Saeed, Fahad Mustafa, Kubra Khan, Bushra Ansari and other personalities were present on the occasion. Addressing the audience, Ahmed Shah highlighted the abundance of talent in today’s generation, acknowledging both extraordinary and ordinary talent.
“I am thrilled to announce ‘Hotel Jaan-e-Jaan’ media night in Arts Council and welcome the artists, bloggers and celebrities,” said Raahim Bukhari, producer of Hotel Jaan-e-Jaan and founder of stage bug production on the first day of the show.
The play was directed by Farhan Aalam Siddiqui, PR THOR Productions by Dr. Rana Asif said the cast’s performance rocked the audience with their hilarious dialogues and acting. The cast consists of Yasir Hussain, Umer Aalam, Sabiha Zia, Fiza Munir, Sheryl John and others.
The fast-paced story with a duration of one hour had crisp dialogues with jibes at the situations in the country and society. The underlying sexual innuendos were a bit below the belt sometimes, making the audience somewhat uncomfortable. All the artists acted well but Yasir Hussain and Umer Aalam shone out in their characters. Though there was room for improvement the overall impact was enjoyable.
