Featuring songs from the classic hit fim Sholay, the comedy drama 'Dishoom!' tour has begun.
Here the Dishoom! team share their favourite Sholay moments.
Summer 1978, Simon and his friends should be looking forward to leaving school, but the National Front are on the streets, Simon's Bibi is ashamed of him and his Dad spends his life hiding in the pub.
When Simon's cousin Baljit comes to stay, she introduces him to the Bollywood classic, Sholay. Inspired by the film’s dynamic duo, Jai and Veeru, Simon and Baljit set out to change their world forever.
What influenced the music for Dishoom?
Rifco Artistic Director Pravesh Kumar directs, and, after working with Rifco Theatre Company over the last year, 17-year-old Bilal Khan makes his professional stage debut in the lead role of Simon.
Bilal himself was born with cerebral palsy and will be taking on the role of a young man with a disability who is struggling to find his place in the world around him.
