All the action in Karpanai Kuthirai’s Chikku Bukku Kalyanam (written and directed by Vedarun Rajkumar) takes place on a train. The play was staged as part of Krishna Gana Sabha’s summer drama festival. The story revolves around a hopelessly romantic girl — Ananya (portrayed by Subhiksha Sridharan) — who wants an unusual wedding venue and is travelling to marry her boyfriend in a railway station. She is also happy about her father’s opposition to her choice as she believes — what is a romance without parental disapproval? Ananya’s father engages Mathew to spy on his daughter. Mathew, who is busy, asks his friend Balaji, a reformed pick-pocketer, to take his place on the train.
A comedy of errors unfolds within the compartment.
