Rishi Majumdar

"Based on Raish Maniaar's Astitva And Vyaktitva, the play explores the life of a poet-genius who loved al- cohol, courted muses, and had to sell his verse to oth- ers who presented them as their own. An under-rat- ed, but much read and loved Gulam Mohammed Shaikh, alias Mareez, is brought to life handsomely by an exacting performance, a reminiscent Kalbadevi backdrop (the set), and finally by his poetry which is reason enough to buy that ticket."

Audience

"Mareez is as much a must watch for the story historical sense it has recreated."

Audience

"Portrayal of a poet by Dharmendra Gohil is done amazingly. Its a must watch show."

Ambika Bhatt

"This play chronicles the life of Gujarati poet Mareez, an alcoholic who died inanonymity, with sublime dialogue dripping with poetry."
