Awagha Rang Ekachi Zaala Natak Story
Awagha Rang Ekachi Zala Natak is a heartfelt musical story about Appa Velankar (played by Pramod Pawar) a respected ‘Kirtankar’ and Jenny, (played by Shraddha Vaidya) an American return teenage girl.
As the curtain opens, we get to see Appa Velankar’s family. His son Sopan (played by Omkar Prabhughate), his daughter Mukta (played by Gauri Sukhatankar), and his wife (played by Aparna). Sopan is a musician, and he aims to spread his dad’s ancient & traditional music art form (Kirtan) all around the world. But with a modern infusion and twist.

However, his dad strongly disagrees & dislikes his idea of spreading their traditional Kirtan to the world using modern musical methods. Due to the clash of opinions between Sopan & his dad, they get into a big fight. Resulting to which, Sopan’s dad asks him to leave their home if he wants to keep doing the same thing. This leaves the family broken & apart.
Amidst this, as Appa’s choices have rippled through his family, he also opposes his daughter Mukta’s love since the boy she loves is from a different caste. Awagha Rang Ekachi Zaala showcases multiple emotions within the Velankar family and tries to bridge the generation gap between the old and the youngsters.
With all these complexities & tension going around the house, there comes Jenny. She is a spirited teenager from the United States who injects a completely new energy into the Natak. She has come to Apa Velankar to learn the traditional art of Kirtan and becomes Appa’s disciple, embracing the essence of the Gurukul way.
As she learns the art of Kirtan, she also comes to know how Apa Velankar has divided his own family due to his ego, old thinking, and mindset. Seeing all this, she then decides to reunite the Velankar family in every way possible. This adds an engaging twist to Awagha Rang Ekachi Zala Marathi Natak.
