Broken Images" is a play written by Girish Karnad, and it features Shabana Azmi in the lead role of Manjula Sharma, a Hindi writer. The play explores the themes of fragmented identity, societal expectations, and the struggles of a writer navigating her personal and professional life. Shabana Azmi plays both Manjula and her sister, Malini, showcasing the complexities of their relationship and the multifaceted nature of their identities
The play begins on a light and humorous note, as it introduces writer Manjula Sharma (Azmi) to the audience. When Manjula, a mediocre writer in Hindi, suddenly gets international acclaim and popularity for a book that she writes in English, she eventually starts wondering if she has betrayed her own language and identity. From a casual ambiance, as the act progresses around Manjula’s character and her life, it turns into a thriller which leaves the viewers very unsettled. Shabana Azmi essays two roles, rather two facets of one character. Broken Images is a short, gripping and flawless performance by the greatest actress that Raleigh has been waiting for a long time to come.
