A Bollywood screen potboiler brought to the stage by playwright Sohaila Kapur.

The play is set in idyllic times; when survival meant more than just the race to make ends meet. It was a creative time; the suave seventies. It wears the guise of a Bollywood movie of yore; tackling issues through its traditional epic style. Written in contemporary Hinglish; the play draws a portrait of the city of Mumbai. Politics and corruption; socialism and trade unionism; communalism and Bollywood and; in the midst of it all; love and sex.
