(Pic by Val Adamson: Yarisha Rajcomar stars as Bollywood Doll)Bollywood movies, theatre and live shows have never been done like this before. So says Imagination Unlimited which is set to produce Bollywood Doll at the end of August.
“Bollywood Doll can be best described as a tale of friendship, support and belief in life. It’s a first, for sure, as the audience is taken into a magical journey of one’s imagination through a setting that is not what it seems,” explains co-producer Vinay Panday. “A journey of a ragdoll in a toy shop and her discovery of finding herself and her true identity whilst not forgetting her roots and values. “
Bollywood Doll is a feel-good heartwarming story written by Yarisha Rajcomar (assisted by Clinton Marius) that promises to tug on the heartstrings and touch the emotions and feelings of all ages. Featuring Yarisha Rajcomar in the title role, the show will transport audiences young and old into a world of fantasy, offering a delightful and humorous tale of friendship, hope and dreams. There’s a message, too: “Bollywood Doll will make you appreciate where you come from.”
Playing off the theme of Bollywood, this colourful production has a universal appeal, allowing those new to Bollywood to enjoy the foot-tapping music, rhythm and dance of the industry, with popular songs from Bollywood from yesteryear and current hits.
Audiences can expect a striking set design complemented with attractive props as well as state of the art lighting with a dose of magic to offer a truly memorable experience. Costumes will be designed and manufactured in Juhu, Mumbai, assuring the public a fresh and new look to the theatre shows that are being done in South Africa.
