Prasthaav is a play in Hindi, adapted from Anton Chekov's The Proposal, a hilarious play depicting romance and marriage. The farce explores the process of getting married and is a satire on the upper middle class and courtship. The play points out the struggle to balance the economic necessities of marriage and what the characters themselves actually want. It shows that marriage is a mean of economic stability for most people and they marry to gain wealth and possessions or to satisfy social pressure. Madan Sharma, a long-time neighbor of Shree Kamalprasad Varma, has come to propose marriage to Varmaji's daughter Radha but gets into an argument with her about the disputed land in Samtanagar and also about their respective hunting dogs. Does Sharma ultimately manage to propose or not ? Let us see if he and Radha really get married or not. A play to sit back and enjoy.
