Every year, March 27 is observed as World Theatre Day. This year due to lockdown in various cities across the world, theatre connoisseurs might be missing the stage which why Zee Theatre has come up with curated a list of wonderful teleplays that are the perfect go-to for binge-watchers. 
 
Zee Theatre, having revolutionized how plays can be watched on OTT and TV, offers viewers the magic of theatre from the comfort of their home. 
 
So in a time of social distancing, sit back and enjoy the perfect theatre marathon. There’s a little something for everyone. Experience rib-tickling humor with 'Shyam Ki Mummy' or perhaps an edge-of-the-seat thriller like 'Savita Damodar Paranjape' or a heartwarming tale in 'Sandhya Chhaya'.
