Urubhanga or Urubhangam, (English: Shattered Thighs ) is a Sanskrit play written by Bhasa in the 2nd or 3rd century CE. [1] Based on the well-known epic, the Mahābhārata , by Vyasa , Urubhanga focuses on the story of the character Duryodhana during and after his fight with Bhima .
The Urubhanga and Karna-bhara are the only known tragic Sanskrit plays in ancient India. Though branded the villain of the Mahabharata, Duryodhana is the actual hero in Uru-Bhanga shown repenting his past as he lies with his thighs crushed awaiting death. His relations with his family are shown with great pathos.
The plot is further complicated by thieves and mistaken identities, and thus making it a greatly hilarious and entertaining play. It invited widespread admiration when staged in New York in 1924. The play was made into a 1984 Hindi movie Utsav, directed by Girish Karnad.
