The costumes in the plays Mujeeb Khan directed, he took care to conform with the clothing in the time of Munshi Premchand - late 1800s and the early 1900s. Premchand died in 1936.<br /><br />Even now, save certain styles, the clothing hasn't changed by much in India's hinterland.<br /><br /><b>Marly Youmans</b>: Thank you.

At first I was apprehensive considering the distances involved in travelling to the venue of the Munshi Premchand theatre festival and back, and the timing of the shows as many would be. <br /><br />But then I was drawn into actually going considering it was being staged as a tribute to Munshi Premchand, an attempt to bring him to a larger audience.
