Bokya Satbande Natak Story
First and foremost, the story of Bokya Satbande introduces us to the cheerful character of Chinmayanand (played by Arush Bedekar), who is known for his extraordinary wit and playful nature. Produced by Rahul Karnik, Ranjit Kamat, Dipti Pranav Joshi & Milap Theatre Together, directed by Vikram Patil and Dipti Joshi, concept by Pranav Joshi, and written by Dr Nilesh Mane – Bokya Satbande is perfect enjoyment & entertainment for the kids.
As the curtain opens, the Bokya Satbande Natak showcases us to the sweet family of Chinmayanand, along with his two dearest friends, Meeni and Yash. Bokya loves taking care of animals and is a true animal lover. He decides to keep animals as pets to ensure they receive the utmost care and love, away from all the cruelty and harm done by humans.
His mother and grandmother persist in not keeping pets in their home due to his dad and society’s regulations. However, due to Bokya being the beloved one, they agree to adopt a dog, a cat, a rabbit, and a turtle at their home.
However, in the society they live in, they are not allowed to keep live animals and pets. Sadly, the family is faced with a decision: either they have to leave all the animals back on the streets or abandon them in order to live happily by rule in their society.
Reluctantly, the family realises that they have no choice but to adhere to the rules of their society. It breaks Bokya’s heart to think of parting ways with his beloved animal companions, whom he has grown to love and cherish. The once lively and vibrant household now carries a heavy atmosphere of sadness and anger from his dad.
But as we all know, Bokya always has a solution for any challenge he faces. In addition to this, whenever he encounters a hurdle, he always seeks guidance from his grandfather, whose voice resonates within his mind. Interestingly, the voice belongs to none other than our beloved Dilip Prabhavalkar.
And finally, in Bokya’s clever manner, he decides to save these animals, and this is precisely what unfolds in the second beautiful half of the Bokya Satbande Natak.
Now what exactly happens in the second half of the Bokya Satbande is something you need to watch in one of their upcoming shows.
