Performed by Rajeev Varma
Written by Rajeev Varma and Tarun Mohanbhai
Directed by Tarun Mohanbhai with additional direction by Jim Duff
Produced by Rajeev Varma and Jessica Underwood
D’Arranged Marriage is the story of Sanjay Gupta, the New Zealand born son of Indian
immigrants Manhur and Pushpa. 29-year-old Sanjay lives at home, works in his father’s
corner shop, dreams of a career in stand-up comedy, and strenuously avoids the issue
of an arranged marriage. His nagging parents finally get the better of him, but to his
surprise, he discovers that Neenu, the prospective bride, is the one!
Unfortunately, complications (and hilarity) ensue…
Adding to Sanjay’s trials and tribulations are Dilip, a
gimpy uncle who yearns for the perfect Indian woman; the smooth-talking, sleazy
playboy Rundeep; and Mr. Dave Patel, Johnny Walker (and the British Empire’s) best
friend, who is Sanjay’s potential father-in-law. With all 8 characters performed by one
versatile actor, you have the funniest parody of Indian family life since Bend it Like
Beckham, and what critics have dubbed a “roller coaster ride to laughsville.”
"Don't credit the liquor for everyone's bursting with explosive laughter. Varma could get
just as strong a reaction at an A.A. meeting ...Varma commands an audience's attention..."
– Tribeca Tribune, April 2009
"Rajeev is remarkable on stage. On opening night, he even had some members of the
audience slapping their thighs as they laughed uproariously at his comedic turns during
the 75-minute show." – New Sunday Times Malaysia, December 2007
“Hilarious…a cultural comedy classic…” – Dominion Post, New Zealand
