Dive into a world of drama and mayhem.

Direct from its Copenhagen premiere with five star reviews, The Bollywood Trip hits London with a bang.

Get ready for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest meets Bollywood!
'Who's interested in seeing films about what life is like? We make films about what doesn't exist. About dreams. Fantasies. The unattainable. About what life ought to be like. Could be like!' ('Haroon' from The Bollywood Trip)
'What unites us? What makes us all Indians? Films! We breathe, eat and live for films.' ('Haroon' from The Bollywood Trip)
'The Bollywood Trip is full of boiling hot musicality, sensitivity, naivity, energy and joy - in other words the things that make life beautiful, great and unexepected.' (Arbejderen, 2011)
'The first Danish Bollywood performance ever is a mental pill of happiness that buzzes in the bodies of the audience long after the thundering rhythms from the music have gone silent.' (5 stars, Byen kalder, 2011)
