Chhel Chhabilo Gujarati based upon P.L. Deshpande’s classic ‘Tuz Ahe Tuz Pashi’ is a satire, subtly told on many levels through the protagonist Nanu Kaka and the antagonist Acharya Aatmarambapu. The play tells us of the values dear to both, Nanu Kaka and Acharya, and how in the stream of their thoughts other characters get thrown in, are tossed about and finally resolve their struggles.

   
  Usha, swayed by the `simple living, high thinking' philosophy of the acharyaji she invites him and his adopted daughter Geeta to her house to conduct a camp. While her easy-going Nanu Kaka and her fun-loving brother Shyam are resigned to Usha's attitude, they prepare to welcome Acharyaji. Geeta, brought up in the stern discipline and austerity of the ashram contemplates on her life which she realises is no different from a game of chess where chess pieces can only move inpredetermined steps. As Usha begins to realise how she has spent her energy in a cause she doesn't believe in, her brother comes under the influence of Acharyaji, because of Geeta.
   
  The play talks about human-pawns who revolt, as they have done all along, under complex circumstances. What is good, what is evil, is not to be decided by someone outside you and it is the duty of each one of us, to bring the less knowing to a level where he or she can take independent decisions.
