Which of the following is not a form of folk Drama ?

  • A.Tamasha
  • B.Bhavai
  • C.Nautanki
  • D.Melodrama

Answer: D

Melodrama is not a form of folk drama.

Melodrama is a genre of Western stage and film drama, with exaggerated emotion, sharply drawn heroes and villains and a moral ending. It is a style, not a traditional folk theatre of any region.

The other three are Indian folk theatre forms. Tamasha is the folk theatre of Maharashtra, with song and dance (lavani). Bhavai is the folk theatre of Gujarat, and Nautanki is the folk opera of Uttar Pradesh and northern India. Extension workers use such forms to carry messages to rural audiences.
