Paresh Rawal's Kishan vs Kanhaiya (in hindi) played at Lisner today. This performance was the 99th in the US! They have been travelling a lot and seem pretty popular. The play was really good and hilarious, in typical Paresh Rawal style.
The play questions God and makes scientific arguments against typical religious customs the masses follow. I really like how the play ends, where it doesn't reject the presence of God, but instead calls out organized religion and its ridiculousness.
I wouldn't say this is one of the best plays I have been for, but it is definitely worth a watch. You will come away with laughs :)
The audience was all Indian, and obviously, there were several people trying to take videos. Paresh Rawal called a couple of them out during the play. He didn't break character or anything, but instead of launching into his lines, he pointed to the person in the audience and told them to "stop that nonsense". Good for him!
