Coming to Dubai for the very first time, Mahim Junction has already played to full houses in Edinburgh and stages around the world, earning rave reviews along the way.
It’s an affectionate and nostalgic take on a Bollywood film of the 1960s and 1970s, and the flamboyant cast is all set to dazzle audiences with a spicy mix of scintillating dance, foot-tapping music and larger-than-life characters.
If you want pure Bollywood-style escapism and great fun, then Mahim Junction will be the must-see event of the year. Seats are going fast, so book now to avoid disappointment!
Thursday 18 - Saturday 20 February 2010
Written and directed by Sohaila Kapur
In association with Shekhar Kapur and Lata Bhasin
MAHIM JUNCTION
Bollywood of the 1970s…a time when heroes wore their hearts on their sleeves and the villains paved the mean streets of Mumbai with gold. A time to dream, and the time at hand to chase those dreams. A slum adjacent to the local train platform in suburban Mumbai is inhabited by a motley crew, including Rahim, the local dada, a good Samaritan with a heart of gold who is in love with Radha, the belle who has many hearts wanting to beat in tune with hers.
Belonging to different faiths, they fear that their respective families will never accept their love. Radha’s harridan mother would much rather sell her daughter than help her marry the man she loves, yet her physically challenged brother is ready to sacrifice anything for his sister and her happiness with Rahim.
Mr Kaladhanda is the amorous Bollywood film producer who sells dreams of stardom to attract young girls into his lair, while Randy Bhai is the Harvard graduate son of a well heeled and corrupt businessman, who dreams of making a difference in the world of black marketers, mobsters and rigged elections. Two further memorable characters, Johnny and Ayesha, complete the cast.
Mahim Junction, written by the internationally acclaimed Sohaila Kapur, has played to full houses across India, in the UK and in Singapore. It is now set to burst onto stage at DUCTAC in Dubai… so book now to guarantee your seat at this must-see show.
