Desi Dance Club Presents Bollywood Show at Oakton

The Desi Dance Club at Oakton Community College celebrates the music, dance, and fashion of modern Indian cinema in a live stage show, "Bollywood at Oakton," 7 - 9:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 15, at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road.

Students will impersonate their favorite Indian movie stars, including Shahrukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Rani Mukherjee, in high-energy performances of such popular Bollywood songs as "Ab To Forever," from the film, Ta Ra Ram Pam, and "Hare Ram Hare Krishna," from Bhool Bhuliya. The show's young "stars" also will be interviewed during segments of "Koffee with Krunal," a light-hearted parody of a well-known Indian television talk show.

Bollywood is the name given to the Mumbai-based Hindi language film industry in India, which produces more than 1,000 movies annually for an audience of 3.6 billion people.

A portion of the proceeds from this performance benefits Apna Ghar, a domestic violence shelter that primarily serves Asian women and children. Apna Ghar takes its name from the Hindi-Urdu phrase meaning "our home."

General admission tickets to "Bollywood at Oakton" are $5. For reservations and more information call the Oakton Box Office at 847-635-1900.
