Most of the plays of Tendulkar are performed first and published later. But Kamala is such an example that within a short period it was performed in four theatres Marathi, Hindi, English and Gujarati in Mumbai. In kamala Tendulkar deals with current issue and points out the drawbacks of investigative Journalism. The play is based on real incident of India. In modern India, even today in some interior, rural parts of Bihar and Madhya Pradesh women are sold and this was proved by Ashwin Sarin, an Indian Express reporter who actually bought a girl from a flesh market to expose the brutal exploitation of women that exists in rural India.
