The first annual Blu Blood Bollywood Experience is a three-day cultural extravaganza that will celebrate everything Bollywood under one roof. From the best musical talent to top-class comedy and the finest local and international fashion to the tastes and smells of the East, there will be so much on offer.

“The Blu Blood Bollywood Experience is an annual event that South African and African Indian communities look forward to. It is a lifestyle and entertainment spectacular. It enlists local and international entertainers, celebrities and the likes to culminate the year in a Bollywood extravaganza from the Mela (shopping festival), fashion shows, SA’s comedy greats, the best in Indian cuisine and the finale being the biggest names in the Bollywood industry,” said Blu Blood CEO, Shaaista Khan Osman.

Sandton is going to be ‘Bollyfied’ this December. This is one memorable event certainly not to be missed!

From 09:00 to 21:00 every day, there is something for the whole family. The weekend kicks off with the Mela (taking place over the three days) – a shopper’s delight featuring around 200 unique exhibitors with everything from fashion, jewellery, home appliances, décor, henna art, food, music, a kiddies’ entertainment centre, a full day’s entertainment stage with over 200 local entertainers and so much more.

On Friday, December 2, be mesmerised as the crème de la crème of top Indian fashion designers, the likes of the acclaimed Vikram Phadnis, Joy Mitra, Krishna Mehtra and Pawan and Pranav showcase their latest collections in a fashion extravaganza paired with incredible local musicians, dancers and comedians in the Blu Blood Bollywood Variety Show.

Comedy lovers can look forward to a stellar line-up on Saturday, December 3, with the very best of South Africa’s Indian comedians as they take laughter and hilarity to the next level in Kings & Queens of Comedy And All’. The royal line-up includes the likes of Riaad Moosa, Yaaseen Barnes, Simmi Arreff and Leeanda Reddy.

The event culminates on Sunday, December 4 with undoubtedly two of the biggest powerhouses in the Bollywood music industry, Sonu Nigam and Atif Aslam, live in concert. Performing all their greatest hits and paying tribute to the music legends of India and Pakistan, this performance will leave you in awe.
