305 Galli Mantola

A crumbling old house. A narrow lane in Old Delhi. A neighbourhood holding on to its memories.

305 Galli Mantola is a funny, tender, and deeply evocative play that brings to life the eccentric inhabitants of an old Delhi gully. As siblings quarrel over inheritance, lovers dream of escape, and long-buried rivalries resurface, the air fills with the aroma of nalli nihari, nostalgia, and stories waiting to be told.

Written by Vibhu Puri and directed by Faisal Rashid, this heartwarming production captures the charm, humour, and heartbreak of a community caught between tradition and change. Through its richly drawn characters and vibrant storytelling, the play becomes not only a portrait of a neighbourhood, but also of a nation struggling to preserve its identity in a rapidly changing world.

Presented by the acclaimed Akvarious Productions, known for over 90 productions, 1,800 performances across 35 cities, and multiple Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Award nominations and wins.
