25th Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2026. Rashmi Rathi (Hindi/ 90 mins) Wri. Ramdhari Singh ‘Dinkar’. Dir. Harish Hariaudh. Performed by Art Farm. An exploration of social and family relationships from a new perspective, focusing on themes such as birth versus merit, suppressed talent, and human dignity amid war. Through the character of Karna, the poem asserts that greatness arises from deeds and character rather than lineage, caste, or birth. It emphasizes that persecuting deserving talent leads society and the nation toward destruction. Along with a strong voice of nationalism, Rashmirathi reflects a consciousness of Dalit liberation, and the redemption of Karna becomes an effort to establish a new and more humane vision of humanity. Collab. National School of Drama.
