Natarang Pratishthan Showcase Director

B. V. KARANTH

"Baba has not tied down himself with any particular form like his contemporaries-Ratan Thiyam, Pannikar, Habib Tanvir. He has utilized all the forms like – dialects of Madhya Pradesh, folk tunes, Rangpatti, style of south and elements of Sanskrit theatre. With all this his productions appear like our own and not belonging to any particular form or style. He thinks only about theatre. When he was in jail he was doing theatre and thinking about theatre."

Karanth- the man who spreads theatre virus


“Karanth is a brilliant director”

Bhaskar (Financial Express)


"A writer composer, translator, film maker and teacher Karanth is essentially a man of the theatre.
About is film making he feels that acting in cinema is quite different from that in theatre. The favourable reaction about his film has proved that even a novel without any outstanding literary merit can be turned into an excellent film."

"B. V. Karanth: An artist and a missionary"

Reeta Sondhi

"The success of Bhopal Rangmandal lies in the fact that Karanth has used various local styles, conventions, behaviour patterns to make it easily communicable (acceptable) and creative which establishes the character of Indian theatre."
