The festival will open with a performance of Awagha Rang Ekachi Zaala (Marathi), directed by Ashok Samel.

It also highlights the rich culture and music of the kirtan form as juxtaposed against the current musical trend.
The Bharat Rang Mahotsav (BRM) was started a decade ago by the NSD in order to contribute to the growth and development of theatre across the country. The National School of Drama started its annual festival by showcasing plays performed by Indian theatre practitioners, and the same has grown into an international event, catering to theatre companies from around the world. It is today acknowledged as the largest theatre festival of Asia – dedicated only to theatre – and is firmly established on the international theatre festival map.
