Mahim Junction (9 - 12 Dec 2010) - Watch the Trailer!

Bollywood fans are in for a real treat!

The Actors Studio Teater Rakyat in collaboration with Sohaila Kapur and with the support of Maxis Berhad will be bringing an exciting English-language musical called Mahim Junction from India.

Mahim Junction is an entertaining mix of nostalgia and cinema, a snapshot of Bollywood film in the 1970s. A time when heroes wore their hearts on their sleeves and the villians paved the mean streets o...f Mumbai with gold. A time to dream, and the time at hand to chase those dreams.

The story is set in a local train platform in suburban Mumbai. The plot revolves around 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. Their fear? That their respective families will never accept their love.

Amidst foot tapping songs and peppy dance numbers, the musical charts its way forward; touching on issues that are real and current, in the irreplaceable film joie de vivre style of the 1970s.

Mahim Junction first opened at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2002, where it ran to full houses. An equally successful premiere on Indian soil followed suit in 2008.

"What Kapur and Sanjoy Roy have achieved is an engagingly vivid evocation of how life in India connects with Bollywood Films in more ways than just watching on screen escapist romance & adventure...The sheer energy of the musical numbers... might well surprise and delight you" The Herald
