Bollywood Theatre Fest 2025 Presents: BARFF – A Hindi Play by Saurabh Shukla, Live in the USA!

A Gripping Tale of Truth, Belief, and Psychological Intrigue

Prepare yourself for a theatrical spectacle like no other as the Bollywood Theatre Fest 2025 proudly brings one of India’s most celebrated plays — BARFF, written and directed by none other than the legendary Saurabh Shukla — LIVE across the USA.

After winning hearts and acclaim in India and international theatre circuits, BARFF is now set to mesmerize audiences in America with its emotionally intense, visually compelling, and intellectually engaging performance.

About the Play – BARFF (The Snow)

Set against the hauntingly beautiful yet emotionally turbulent landscape of Kashmir, BARFF (translated as Snow) is a psychological thriller that delves deep into the themes of faith, reality, and the fine line between truth and illusion.

The plot revolves around a doctor called to a remote house during a snowstorm, only to be caught in a night that reveals far more than he could have imagined. What begins as a simple medical visit spirals into a night of emotional turmoil, suspense, and soul-stirring revelations.

BARFF is not just a play—it's a journey that explores human fragility, the desperate need for belief, and the dangerous consequences of denial. With powerful dialogues, minimalist yet evocative staging, and razor-sharp direction, it’s a story that resonates deeply long after the curtains fall.
