Damoh, on the fourth and last day of the 20th National Drama Festival being organized by Yuva Natya Manch Damoh in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Bhopal, in the city's Manas Bhawan Auditorium, the romantic comedy drama 'Sardi Ki Phir Wahi Raat' was presented by Bhopal's Chetna Rang Group. The drama presents the importance and feeling of love in the declining years to the audience and shows the culmination of true love.
The story of the drama begins on a railway platform where the middle-aged hero of the drama, Abhinay Sharma, sees the heroine of the drama, Pooja Kapoor, who was his youthful love. In the conversation that begins with recognition, old feelings start to revive and love starts to sprout once again. But the dilemma of how to express love persists. In such a situation, something happens in the play that the love which remained incomplete years ago reaches its destination.

Talking about the play, the writer and director of the play Ashish Srivastava has, in his writing and direction, brought the feeling of love at an old age and its related aspects on screen with great pen and direction and has made the play quite effective. The play mainly revolves around two characters in which Abhinav Sharma as Rajiv Srivastava and Pooja Kapoor as Neeti Srivastava have shown both their acting ability and experience in the play. Both of them, by staying away from exaggeration in their acting, keep the audience engaged with their dialogue style and also make them laugh with their witty dialogues. Apart from that, Shivansh Yadav as nephew, Vivek Tripathi as tea seller, Utkarsh Khare, man Ashish Ojha, man-2 Shiv Kataria, Vivek Tripathi, Haryanvi Havildar Ashish Ojha, Utkarsh Khare and Sunita Ahire, Mahesh, Priyanshi, Divya, Ashi, Divyanshi etc. are in the small role of passengers. At the same time, local artists have also played brief roles in the play. Talking about other aspects of the play, Dinesh Nair's platform set looks quite impressive and Kamal Jain has done a wonderful job in lighting design. Manohar Rao did the music and Vivek Tripathi was the stage manager.
