The best place, for last so many years, for me to play Sakharam Binder has been in my car. During my daily 45-60 minutes commute each way, I have visualised and behaved like Sakharam many-a-times. When someone cut me off, or when the boss was not too happy even after I put my heart and soul in that project (and my weekends) or when the subordinate stayed mis-aligned after the nth alignment meeting.
Sakharam is raw, honest, transparent .....which very few of us are. I assure you all that I will be raw, honest, transparent for next 33 days.................as Sakharam.
Vijay Tendulkar (1928 - 2008) is one of India’s finest contemporary playwrights. Written originally in Marathi in 1972, SAKHARAM BINDER was banned in 1974 because it was considered too violent and vulgar. Since then, it has been translated into many Indian languages and staged all over the world. Prominent artists such as Amrish Puri, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Sayaji Shinde, Nilu Phule, Sulbha Deshpande and Sonali Kulkarni have been associated with the play.
