'''Chhotalal Rukhdev Sharma''' (died 1926) was a [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] playwright.<ref name="Division2016">{{cite book|author=Publications Division|title=Indian Drama|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9qk-DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT58|date=10 September 2016|publisher=Publications Division Ministry of Information & Broadcasting|isbn=978-81-230-2635-0|page=58}}</ref>

==Biography==
He had studied Sanskrit in childhood and had studied ''[[Raghuvaṃśa|Raghuvansh]]'' by [[Kālidāsa|Kalidas]]. His first play ''Madhav Vilas'' (1899) was produced by Amdavad Gujarati Natak Company. He had a long career with Deshi Natak Samaj. He used unconventional ''Savaiya'', ''Shikharini'' and ''Totak'' metres in musical plays instead of popular ''Betabaji'' metre. He wanted to start his own theatre company so he had consulted poet Fulchandbhai Shah to write ''Rajhans'' based on ''[[Dashakumaracharita|Dashakumaracharitra]]'' but he died soon in 1926.<ref name="Choksi 2004">{{Cite book|title=ગુજરાતી રંગભૂમિ: રિદ્ધિ અને રોનક (Gujarati Rangbhoomi: Riddhi Ane Ronak)|publisher=Gujarat Vishwakosh Trust|year=2004|editor-last=Choksi|editor-first=Mahesh|location=Ahmedabad|pages=124|trans-title=Compilation of Information regarding professional theatre of Gujarat|editor-last2=Somani|editor-first2=Dhirendra|oclc=55679037}}</ref>
