Make it a big, Bollywood-sized wedding
Mumbai-based entertainment production company AGP World in collaborating with Yash Raj Films is set to bring musical comedy, Blame It On Bollywood, to Bengaluru next week. Centred on an Indian family, the laugh-a-minute comedy unspools when the darling daughter decides to embrace an inter-caste marriage. With a cast that includes veterans like Anant Mahadevan, Jayati Bhatia and Bharat Dabholkar and Darshan Jariwala among others, the 100-minute-long musical goes on to poke fun at the idiosyncrasies that planning a big fat Indian wedding entails. The play wraps subjects like family dynamics, societal expectations, and generational conflicts in parodies of Bollywood hit songs, inviting audiences to sing and dance along. At Prestige Centre for Performing Arts, Konanakunte, Bengaluru, 6-7 December, 7.30pm. Tickets on Bookmyshow.
