Two Plays. Two Worlds. One Special Evening.

Katha Munch presents an evening of theater featuring two contrasting short plays in its sixth original production (in English).


2 Kilos

A romantic dramedy

A tender, witty exploration of love, insecurities, and the little things that weigh heavily on the heart. Sometimes, it’s not the big moments—but the smallest ones—that define relationships.

By: Spandana Akella
Inspired by: the short film 2 Kilo by Karthik Balakrishnan


Munshir Palace

A gripping murder mystery

Secrets whisper through the walls of an old palace, where every character has something to hide. As tension builds and truths unravel, the question isn’t who did it—but who can be trusted.

Playwright: Vimal Pannala
(Inspired by the writings of Satyajit Ray)
Director: Lalitha Nanduri


From suspense to soul, from laughter to lingering questions—this is theater that stays with you.

One stage. Two stories. Double the experience.
