Mallika Shah’s ‘I Killed my Mother/ It Wasn’t My Fault’ is a journey into the minds of youth

Paytm Insider & Bhasha Centre bring to you Mallika Shah’s ‘I Killed my Mother/ It Wasn’t My Fault’; a fresh take on coming-of-age themes
Continuing its tradition of delivering diverse and engaging experiences to its audience, Paytm Insider is bringing you an insightful play 'I Killed my Mother/ It Wasn’t My Fault', through its theatre initiative ‘Manch’ in collaboration with Bhasha Centre. A tafreehwale production, the play is crafted by writer-director Mallika Shah and produced by Meghana AT. This 65-minute comedy-drama promises to resonate with young urban women (and urban mothers) through its compelling narrative. A story that brings to the stage the troubles of young adults navigating society — online and offline. Generation gaps? Doomscrolling? Lonely Swiping? Job hunting and hunting and never finding? This play promises to leave you thinking and laughing too! So, if you enjoy theatre, this is your chance to experience a comically absurd yet realistic play.


‘I Killed My Mother / It Wasn’t My Fault' journeys into the complex emotional world of a 25-year-old girl, who is oscillating between her inner and outer world. As She navigates through an ‘ordinary’ day, the narrative touches upon more than just a surface conflict between a mother and daughter. It goes on to portray the Protagonist grappling with the relentless cruelty of self-doubt, societal pressures, unemployment, singlehood, and generational discord. Through a comically dark lens, infused with pop culture and multimedia elements, it will immerse the audience in a painfully realistic dramatisation of the turbulent thoughts of this young girl.

Varun Khare, Business Head, Paytm Insider, said, “At Paytm Insider, we're about fueling the flame of theatrical brilliance and crafting tasteful moments for our audience. We're glad to have partnered with Bhasha Centre, Meghana & Malliak AT to bring this piece to life. 'I Killed My Mother/ It Wasn’t My Fault' is a cynical comedy play featuring an extraordinary ensemble. If you're a theatre enthusiast or even experiencing theatre for the first time, be ready to dive headfirst into a world of captivating narratives that will leave you spellbound!”

The production showcases a talented ensemble featuring Shreya Sharma, Astha Gulati, Dusha, Meghna Manglani, Anoushka Zaveri, and Mithil Raj Goswami. With such a stellar cast, the play promises to deliver an unforgettable theatrical experience, leaving a lasting impact on audiences.
