Bombay Dreams awow of a show !!!

Advantages: Terrific score and superb mix of multi-cultural music
Disadvantages: N/A

...This is a wow of a musical that illustrates East meets West as only Andrew Lloyd Weber can produce and Don Black 's lyrics can do. Bombay Dreams combines all the glitz of the movies, heart-rendering romance and a whole pile of epic spectacle. I was amazed when Isaw this show and heard this wonderful score. It's amazing !!!! The scintillating score composed by the infamous composer A R Rahman takes us on awild journey. A feast for the senses, Bombay Dreams combines the lot, torment, betrayal, love and success. It tells the story of Akaash, a young slum dweller, who dreams of becoming a huge movie star, and of his fateful encounter with beautiful Priya, the daughter of one of Bollywood's greatest film directors. Can he achieve his dream of stardom or will this come at a price? Will Akaash and Priya's love survive? And will they...

Review of Bombay Sapphire Gin

Salaam Bombay !

Advantages: A magical city of contrasts, that is coping inspite of all odds
Disadvantages: There are many

...Mumbai derives its name from Mumba Devi a local diety worshipped by the Maratha fisher folk of the region. Mumba Devi is the goddess of sea and according to folklores she blessed the region and took care of the Fisherman community. When India was under the British rule the name Mumbai got slightly changed , as they were unable to pronounce the name , and was called Bombay for all official purposes. But the locals continued to refer to it as Mumbai or Bambai.. And after nearly 45 years after India gained its Independence , in the nineties , the city was officially called by its original name. I grew up calling Mumbai as Bombay and I am yet to get used to calling it Mumbai. For me Bombay has remained a dream city, whatever the harsh realities may be, I still have a special feeling for this city. I visited Mumbai in the late seventies as...

Review of Mumbai (Bombay)

Mumbai, or is it Bombay

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...Well in 2005, I went on a 6 week trip to India and Dubai, it was during the summer holidays and my cousin was getting married there so I figured why not go and see the wedding and say hello to my grand mum who I hadn't seen for about 10 years. I visited quite a few different cities in India, but this particular review is about my time in Mumbai or Bombay, which ever you want to call it. I spent a total of 5 nights in this buzzing, beautiful yet populated city. My first trip to Mumbai was when I was about 6 years old, I hated it 100%, however at the age of 18, I found myself enjoying my second trip to this city, and I could actually go to clubs, travel on my own and explore the city with some independence. This review will focus more on what I saw during my time in the city, where I stayed, the places I visited, the culture and lifestyle...

Review of Mumbai (Bombay)

Dream on

Advantages: Delivery Time met
Disadvantages: Poor after sales service

...I went and bought a bed from Dreams shop after many times of viewing and testing out some beds. After three weeks of delivery time to wait I received my bed and this was professionally installed in the correct bedroom. Whilst I was happy with the bed mainly speaking in that the bed felt comfortable, it was the lack of after care sales service that really let Dreams down. I asked if I could have a refund or exchange of new bed which they claimed to offer hassle free return service, I was told that I had to pay an extra £500. At this point I felt overawed and outraged having paid £700 for a brand new bed to pay an extra £500 to have an exchange of bed. I felt that the level of customer service in dealing with this problem of mine to be a big let down for the company. The delivery time was stated as three weeks and they did at least...

Review of Dreams (Shop)

Bombay me right up

Advantages: delicious
Disadvantages: NONE!

...of the Bombay Brasserie. This is the same thing, only a different make and it came in a really cute box and only cost 6 pound. So I went for it. In the box you get spinach Pilau rice, a chicken curry dish which i think is the same sort of things as chicken tikka masala. You also get a naan bread and some onion bhajis. The meal can made in the microwave, but through personal experience in every curry i have bought from the supermarker, i always oven cook. It is always worth the extra 40 mins. The instructions are clear on the box and everything is clearly explained for each separate dish. So it was really easy to put in the oven and time everything together I was also impressed at the portion sizes which were noticably generous even in the packets. So i put everything in the oven and timed everything correctly. Within 20 minutes my...

Review of The Bombay Brasserie, Chicken Tikka Makhani

Murder, transvestites and forgery in Bombay

Advantages: Fast-paced, well-written and researched, great setting
Disadvantages: Complicated plot, interspersed with unnecessary comments on scientific theory

...wrote a number of food and travel books before turning to fiction - 'Bombay Ice' was her first published work of fiction. The plot You need to concentrate here!

Review of Bombay Ice - Leslie Forbes

Could have been a BOLLY lot better.

Advantages: Great singing, dancing.
Disadvantages: Hammy acting.

...It?s nearly one year since Jo Lambert and I became Mr and Mrs Critchley and to celebrate ? a little early ? we decided to have a few days in London. Booked it ages ago so it wasn?t our fault that it turned out to be the hottest ever day in London, until yesterday at least, whilst we were there. Loads of the theatres in London are listed buildings ? therefore little can be done to them ? and have no air-conditioning making for sweltering conditions for the audience let alone the actors with all the stage lighting beaming down on them too! Having seen a number of West End shows, Jo decided that she wanted to see something different and when I saw an offer for Bombay Dreams, I thought this is it! Jo had wanted to see this since it started over a year ago. Sit back and enjoy the anniversary review of Bombay Dreams at the Apollo...
