UNFORGETABLE ROCKS TORONTO!!

Finally... I made it to Toronto!! Yeah!! Landed at 3.30pm and drove straight to the Rogers Centre with Majid. It was such a joy to see the aliens once again... :-) Girls going their make - up, boys setting up props, some of them going through the last minute changes in some of the acts, the usual pre-show hysteria... how we thrive on it!!
7pm... Prayer time!!
7.45pm... Show time!!
11.15pm... Unforgetable Rocks Toronto!!!
Anosh (Viraf's son), Viraf Sarkari (Director, Wizcraft), Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Glen (yours truly), Pari, Vijay Sablok - all smiles after a rocking opening show at the Rogers Centre, Toronto!
One did not realize how the three and a half hour show simply whizzed past with such great performances by Unforgetable Masti - Riteish Deshmukh, Unforgetable Style - Preity Zinta, Unforgetable Dude - Abhishek Bachchan, Unforgetable Icon - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Unforgetable Legend - Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and Unforgetable Music - Vishal & Shekhar. The show was designed and choreographed by Unforgetable Magic - Shiamak Davar.

Each and every star created magic on stage as they performed to their super hit numbers supported by the astounding energy of The Shiamak Davar Dance Company. As I sat amongst the audience like one of them, I enjoyed hearing fabulous comments such as 'these Shiamak Davar dancers are amazinz man, what energy!'; 'how do these dancers change their costumes so fast?'; Of course they were cheering for each and every star and grabbed every opportunity to charge towards the stage as each star made their appearance.
But the truest star of them all was none other the our legendary super star Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. He belted out some of his super hit songs including Jahan Teri Yeh Nazar Hai, Dekha Na, Main Hoon Don and Rang Barse and ended his opening act with an impromptu latin groove. Wow!! What style!!

sounds very exciting indeed! though a different concept, this post brings back lots of memories of IIFA Singapore 2004! The dancers are amazing - the timing, costume changes, energy.. matched by no other!! keep up the great work guys - only because of you do people believe "Have feet. Will dance".
