P L's adoption of George Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalian' as 'Tee Phulrani' is amazing. No doubt the original, its subject, the plot and the development have in themselves a universal, all-time appeal, as is clear form the worldwide popularity of the drama. But its transformation in Marathi is so complete, so smooth and so apt that the drama seems to have sprouted from the Marathi soil itself. No wonder it continues to run to packed houses in spite of a complete change of cast many a time.His adoption of Bertolt Brecht's " Three-Penny Opera " into a dazzling musical shocks us into at least thinking. P L's ability to retain the piercing edge of the original is astounding, as is his willingness to use different drama techniques to produce the desired effect.
