An Indian Ensemble production, Kaumudi is centered on a father and son duo, who play the characters of Eklavya’s ghost and Abhimanyu, respectively, in a theatre, in late 1960’s Allahabad. The father, Satyasheel, who is a great actor and has almost lost his sight, is at his final three performances. Thus, son Paritosh, who grew up with the void of not having a father by his side, has been asked to step in and take his father’s place after the former’s retirement.
