The play emotionally appealed to the audience about the importance of blood donation and also highlighted the common misconceptions related to the same. It further talked about how the blood banks are increasingly facing a shortage of blood and thus lives are being lost, especially those of the poor. This fantastic performance encompassed all moods including satire, comedy, anger, and sadness to reach out to its audience. The usage of gulaal and formations added to the depth of the play and made it more attractive. It also used the medium of drama to announce the event of blood donation camp on the 15th August at Food Court 1 and urged the students to step forward towards the noble cause to help the needy.
