A riot of laughter and wit, Mansha ki Shaadi unfolds the delicate drama of mother-daughter relationship. For while Dulari is determined to see Mansha settled in a wedlock, Mansha has other plans.

Using a basic set and traditional wedding music, the play creates the ambience of a middle-class Indian wedding home. And before we know, we become baratis “the guests” at the wedding.
