Animal - Hindi (Pune & Delhi)

Animal is a vibrant, humorous, and thought-provoking Hindi drama that dives deep into the restless mind of Dattu, played by Mahesh Manjrekar. Dattu is a wide-eyed dreamer from near Pandharpur who arrives in Mumbai with stardust in his eyes and a heart full of hope. Like countless others who come to this city, he believes that if you dare enough, Mumbai will listen.

But Mumbai has its rhythm. As Dattu navigates auditions, rejections, crowded streets, fleeting friendships, and the relentless pulse of the city, the play begins to mirror the everyday theatre of Mumbai itself—the hustle, the humour, the heartbreak, and the stubborn resilience that defines life here. Through laughter, longing, and moments of raw honesty, his journey becomes instantly familiar to anyone who has ever chased a dream.

A near one-man act supported by a talented ensemble, the play sees Dattu speaking to the city, to imagined audiences, and sometimes to his own fragile spirit, blurring the line between performance and confession.

What unfolds is both deeply personal and universally relatable. Come experience the vast repertoire of the. phenomenal actor, director, and writer, Mahesh Manjrekar.
