City Sways to Bollywood Beats

Bhubaneswar , Dec 14: It was festival time at the Biju Patnaik ground Sunday evening, with people gyrating to Bollywood tunes as Russian dancers performed and DJs played popular tracks. However, the people there were waiting for the main event — the concert by famed music trio Shankar Ehsaan Loy later in the evening.

The crowd was initially thin but people started pouring in as the evening wore on and DJ NYK started playing with students and families both enjoying the music and young ladies swaying to the beats.

The show started with BIKE stunts, which were followed by Russian dancers shaking their legs to Rihaanna songs. As two dance troupes faced off on stage, youngsters in the back row joined in by faced off in the crowd, prompting one of the organizers to comment. The festive atmosphere was marred by a minor scuffle that broke out between two groups of students. However, no one was hurt and the programme continued uninterrupted as security personnel whisked the students away.
