| Boston Bhangra 2017 |  |
by Rohit Bambi
14 years in the making. This will be the 14th anniversary of the Boston Bhangra Competition. SOLD OUT for the last 13 years…3,000 person attendance….the best BHANGRA teams from North America…advertising and promotion throughout New England. This is what you will get from the 14th annual Boston Bhangra Competition. It looks like Boston Bhangra has found a niche market where they have been able to get some of the best teams from North America, some great live performing artists and cheap tickets to keep this an event on the up and up. This year should be no different.

| Music Review: Top Ten Bollywood Songs Of The Week |
by Priyanka Jain Vora
Bollywood top hit of the week is none other than the “Ghoomar” song from upcoming Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie, Padmavati set to release December 1st. With over 13 million view in just 24 hours, this song starring Deepika Padukone had a big hype behind its release. Deepika took 66 twirls during this Rajasthani folk dance in a 30 kg (and 30 lakh!) lehenga! She tweeted: “The Ghoomar Song has to be one of the most difficult yet most fulfilling song sequences I have ever shot for! #GhoomarToday @FilmPadmavati." Ghoomar style of dance is performed by Rajput women on special occasions in Rajasthan and involves performers pirouetting while moving in a large circle. Certainly the sets and costumes are stunning – but I expected more elaborate choreography for a Sanjay Leela Bhansali song. “Ghoomar” depicts the era and dance style accurately, however the hype had me begging for more! Nonetheless, Shreya Ghosal’s “Ghoomar” is my #1 song for the week, and probably will stay at the top for a while. Let’s wait and see what the rest of the Padmavati album brings!
