"Chilsag Chillies, once again brings to Delhi a fresh script and youthful energy. “Wake up Call” successfully dissolves space an d role boundaries. The well and the stage are used equally well. The audience is also made part of the action. Its script determines that the play is not merely a play but a forum for discussion and an initiative for action. It received a standing ovation from the small yet enthusiastic audience."
The Hindu ,14th September 2007
"To call Chilsag Chillies’s latest play A Wake-Up Call an experiment is an understatement. On entering Sri Ram Centre on September 7, for a moment it felt as if one had accidentally landed on the streets of Janpath.Director Sachin Gupta and his cast of 40 actors had put on such a convincing act that a few in the audience even started bargaining with the sellers."

"Youth was the theme of the night. The audience appreciated the
humor of the first three plays and responded to the social message of the last.
The audience actually rose to their feet, when the student actors said, "Agar
kisi ko lagta hai ki kuch galat hua hai to hamare saath chaliye." The acting in
the plays was of a high standard. Ashish Bhandari, Nitin Tiwari and Prateek
Batta require special mention. They were very versatile"

emotions. Loud cheers and applause greeted the artists throughout the
performance.”
The Times of India, 5th August 2005
“Director Sachin gupta’s plays brought a smile to the audience in
New Delhi. His theatre amuses you, provokes, disturbs and awakens your
conscience to fight collectively against inhuman acts like ragging. Austerity
of presentation is another highlight of his theatre. All these elements invest
his theatre with contemporary appeal.” The Hindu, 5th August 2005

cynical, drab and conventional presentation in print. It took Sachin Gupta to

reading on theatre, it deals not only with the drama intricacies but also some
neglected areas.
