चोर की दाढ़ी में तिनका
(a twig in the thief’s beard)
November 14 – November 23, 2025 | Palo Alto  

adapted by Harish Agastya from Nikolai Gogol’s The Government Inspector director: Anitha Dixit producer: Abhijeet Vaidya (in Hindi, with supertitles in English)  

Government officials in a small Gujarati town are thrown into a tizzy when word arrives that a CBI fraud investigator is in town, in disguise, setting off a comedy of errors with mistaken identities, outlandish bribes and bumbling escapades. Adapted from Nikolai Gogol’s The Government Inspector, Chor Ki Dadhi Mein Tinka is a never-been-seen-before, rambunctious satire that skewers human greed and bureaucratic incompetence.
