Bollywood : comes to town

Bollywood Thunder came rumbling into the John Paul Polish Centre last night, with performances influenced by South Asian cultures.

More than 500 Mississauga residents were wined and dined with a buffet and complimentary wine for the cultural event.

It also featured live music, a DJ, vendors, food and dance.

Dominic Joseph, one of the organizers of Bollywood Thunder, said the event is an excuse for everyone to go out and immerse themselves in South Asian culture.

"Everyone had fun and the music was really good," said the Meadowvale resident. "We had a live band and singers in all for lanaguages — Hindi, Tamil, Pujabi and Malayalam... people were on their feet dancing."

He says it was also a chance for the children to learn about their roots and the
the culture that "runs through their veins.
