Dreamgirls of Bollywood is a theatrical experience that amalgamates diverse dances, music, emotions, ethics and cultural beliefs of India with the colourful, vigorous and pulsating Bollywood.,

Dreamgirls of Bollywood is the story of a simple girl named Sajili living in a small town. She is the epitome of Indian classical dancing and trains under Pandit Shankaracharya, the maestro who has inherited music and dance from his legendary ancestors—the very own entertainers of the royal Mughals.

The story focuses on these two characters and their individual dreams—the guru’s to permeate the entire nation with music and dance and be able to retire to let his favorite Sajili carry on this tradition; and Sajili’s to become a Bollywood heroine and work hard to let her expertise in dance get her to top the league of reigning divas.

Sajili’s undying fascination for Bollywood, the divas, the glitz and glamour and her guru’s disagreement, persistence and consequent anger leads to conflict between Sajili and her guru.

Be guided through a contemporary tale of love, tragedy and triumph as well as also the perfect fusion of enormously popular and infectious Bollywood dances and strong elements of live Indian classical music and dance.

You’ll see opulent sets, exquisite costumes and be transported to a utopian world, completely mesmerizing connoisseurs of art and entertainment and hear musical instruments like the Tabla and Dholak reverberate in the Theatre in tandem with vibrant footwork of the Kathak and Bharatnatyam dancers.
