Dazzling colours, intoxicating beats, classical instruments melding with modern sounds, beautiful people, and beautiful designs. And, of course, dreaming BIG, monstrously big! With its very existence, Bollywood has the ability to bring cultures together through festival and celebration. Vikas Kohli, a musical man himself, dreamed the monster dream too. And, the end result? He created the LARGEST South Asian Festival in Canada, #BollywoodMonster Mashup, an event that shares the elegant yet ecstatic Bollywood culture with everyone. An event that helps bring cultures together.
