Hello Guys and Gals😃

Me Vista *waves*...relatively new to this forum, completely new to Ram and Sakshi but a old hand at appreciating things of beauty😉😊 Like Ram and Sakshi !!😆

Of late, I have noticed the following strange set of words in the opening credits of BALH:

'Based on the play "Patrani" by Imtiaz Patel'

😲...didn't know that the show was based on a play...quick Google search turned up zilch on the play and next to nothing on the the playwright...

Does anyone have any information on this? Imtiaz Patel seems to be a Gujrati writer/playwright and has written for some Hindi films too. But I couldn't find anything on "Patrani". So me wondering...hmmm...?

Also, if I am not mistaken, Patrani in Hindi means Vice- Queen (so sure that is not even a word😉😆), Queen in Waiting, One of Many Queens ..? (Must call Mummy and ask for the meaning😃)

So who is the Patrani? Niharika for having manipulated Ram into staying unmarried and remain the Provider-in-Chief for her and her brood? Or Priya for entering into his life as a reluctant partner, but quickly taking over as his Looker-out-in-Chief?😉

Will stop before this post becomes a copybook example of rambling😆😆

Anyway, Guys...do put me out of my misery and let me know if you all know anything of this...

Hope to hear from lots of you😃

BTW, did I mention that I love beautiful Ram and beautiful Sakshi and their beautiful completely natural expressions? 😃

Ciao,

Vista

I like the way you write! (random compliment! 😳)

I didn't notice it at all and i don't know what it means neither but now you've catch my interest !

I'd like to hear too about any original story of this show, which i'm sure would be a master piece !

Thank you for the compliment☺️, random or not 😛

Yes, it really would be interesting to know the storyline of the "inspiration", wouldn't it? 😊

Vistaa the only thing I found on Patrani was 1956 movie with pradeep Kumar and Vaijayantimala.

I did not see Patrani under Imtiaz Patel's Philmography info.

So mystery it is. Hopefully someone will solve it..

Patrani means : main or Chief Queen.

I know nothing about play but can guess from title

that here it will revolve around female lead, basically the title is for Priya, who will become wife of ram. I guess his life will change when after she enters in his life, she will be chief and important part of his life.

Ive noticed this sudden addition to the credits. I wonder why they put it a few days after the show started. I couldnt get anything about a playwright Imtiaz Patel either from the net.

Nice post Vista.

Yes I too did a google search and found nothing , nada about the play or the Author.

But I do remember Ram saying in an interview once that EK was influenced by a play some years back and has adapted that and developed it herself. So I guess EKs company must have really taken in by that play. And just to be on the safe side, the credits seem to acknowledge this fact.

But whatever the title; Patrani, this BALH is gaining strides and keeping us all entertained.
