Synopsis

“Where there is no hope, it is incumbent on us to invent it.” Waiting for Naseer is a philosophical comedy wherein two actors wait at the Prithvi theatre cafe to catch a show of their favorite actor, Naseeruddin Shah's new play. But the situation is weirder than it sounds, because only one of them is entitled to a ticket, and because they are both dead! While they wait, they laugh, they cry, they compete bitterly and reveal themselves in a desperate bid to get that elusive one ticket to the show. An actor knows how to wait, like no one else does - all he desires are his moments on stage. In those moments he finds the ability to smile at his ephemeral existence. The play is a celebration of theatre, of acting, of passion and of life itself … only it is being celebrated by two dead men. “The struggle itself towards the height is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy” ― Albert Camus
