Lovingly adapted for a general audience in the UK, the play tries to capture the sweet romantic escapism that is the Bollywood family drama. Rajesh has a handsome, sexy younger brother, Prem, and Pooja has a beautiful and sassy younger sister, Nisha.
Love is definitely in the air.
Sadly, Pooja dies soon after giving birth to a child, and the wise male members of the household decide that Nisha needs to marry Rajesh, the elder brother. And there's more singing and dancing all around. Director Kristine Landon-Smith has attempted to stick more rigidly to the Bollywood version, and seems to dwell longer than necessary on scenes that came to a slick end the last time. If the idea was to pay homage to Bollywood, it does succeed. Right up to the hero's mustard coloured suit.
