Looks like, a Asus Vivobook s15 should be good for you. Take a look. Usually costs ~60k.

Sorry about that, check the ASUS Vivobook S14. Currently its 59k, but during sale it does come down to 50k. I recommend you wait for that. You will be able to play some lightweight games. But don't expect much.
Do check a few reviews.

Does buying Macbook air is good choice in 2018 at around 58k ?? I have never used Macbook before but i heard lot of good things in terms of performance and build quality plus it offer good bits like best battery backup, light weight and SSD. But my doubt is, CPU which is i5(5th Gen) processor and 128GB SSD.

Don't buy old model macbook air now,new models with latest hardware are expected to be launched in next few months.

It wasn't even a good choice in 2015.
