Language Movement veteran Mahbub-ul-Alam Chowdhury welcomed the new troupe at the programme. Noted litterateur Syed Shamsul Haque and theatre personality M. Hamid were also present.

Abimisra Ashundar addresses certain significant social and moral questions which are deeply thought provoking, yet difficult to answer. The play exposes the hypocrisy of the "secular liberals", who refuse to face the reality and adopt the easy way out, often causing social disasters.

In the play Jyoti, a young woman from a family that regards itself as liberal and progressive, decides to marry Arun, a socially inferior but talented individual. Her liberal politician father's enthusiastic approval and his wishful thinking of initiating a social change from his home, proves to be illusive in the end, as it lacks other relevant considerations. She faces misery and humiliation. The play draws the disillusionment with "armchair intellectuals" who always seek shortcuts without considering the grim reality.

The texture of modernity and social change is explored through the forces the marriage unleashes. With an undercurrent of violence, uncertainty and anger, the play concerns itself with questions that are crucial to all societies grappling with change and social barriers.

Abimisra Ashundar is translated by Bina Alase and directed by Ashim Das.
