Language can never be a barrier for appreciating good acting. This was
what was portrayed in the one hour event of Mono-acting where the
participants gave their best within a time span of 2 minutes in the
first round. It wasn’t really easy for the participants because
naturally we take hours to express ourselves on one issue but doing so
in such a short time, that too in topics like man is asked to speak on
the death of his rival, multiple personality disorder, fashion model
becomes a chief minister, lipstick salesman selling a lipstick and so
on. Holding the attention of the audience for even a brief time is
quite difficult and you have to be really good in your field to do so
and almost all the participants were really good. Things become all
the more difficult when you have to mesmerise them with your solo
acting performance on issues which might not always have a humorous
touch to it. This was very well proved by participants like Yogesh,
Aditya Sharma, Manil Singh and John Pradeep. They were also the
participants who made their way to the final round of the show and
both Yogesh and Aditya gave two powerful back to back performances
which really deserved standing ovation from all the viewers. They had
to go for self selected topics after discussing about it for 30
seconds with the judge Prof. Unni Nayer, and each went for topics
which dealt with different genres of people’s places and occupational
lives. John who had qualified for the final round decided to act as a
retarded boy who had lost his family in tsunami, Aditya acted on the
topic death is beautiful which dealt with HIV-AIDS, Yogesh acted as a
rickshaw puller and his customer as well and the way he portrayed both
the characters were beyond belief and Malin acted as Gabbar in his old
age in the movie Sholay, his performance really had a good deal of
humorous touch to it. All the mono-acting done by the participants
were way beyond the expectation of the judges and the audience as
well. There was a tough competition for the first place between Aditya
and Yogesh but finally with his acting skill, narration capacity and
expressive ways Aditya of SRM University won the competition and
bagged the first position. An excellent show came to an end with the
best man winning the game. This event of mono-acting did prove that
soliloquy and monologue is really a difficult job to handle from the
actor’s point of view and you have to be the best in this field in
order to bring out your talent and capabilities.
