Writer, director and choreographer Rajeev Goswami has thrown in all that is epic of Bollywood cinema: stupendously spectacular costumes, captivating choreography, delightful drama, magnificent music, striking settings. He lets it all burst in an assortment of colourful lighting, topping it up with some cheesy humour . Undoubtedly it recreates the grandiose nature of Bollywood.\u00a0 Goswami\u2019s Beyond Bollywood most certainly spices up the West End.<\/p>\n<p>The show is led by Ana Ilmi as Shaily and Mohit Mathur as Raghav. The story revolves around an old woman\u2019s dying wish to bring dance to the stage of Munich. Her daughter (Shaily) is determined to fulfil her mother\u2019s dying wish and thus she visits the family\u2019s homeland in India where she meets Raghav.\u00a0 They embark on a journey through India to learn the different traditional dances including Bihu, Garba, Kathak, Lezim, Bhangra and Kalbelia. It\u2019s also a journey of self discovery, love and dreams.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>\u2022<\/strong><\/span>Beyond Bollywood is at the London Palladium, Argyll Street, London W1F 7TF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>***** 5\/5 for fun and fusion Nadira Chaudhry Vibrant colours, spectacular costumes, slap-stick humour and amazing choreography are what spring to mind when you hear the title of the show Beyond Bollywood \u2013 and that is exactly what this ostentatious show delivers.
