Join us for Indian Summer Festival’s Box Office Launch Party! This special evening will include a one-time only screening of the iconic, genre-defining classic, Sholay (1975), starring Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra.
The evening will kick off with a programming overview of the full Indian Summer Festival Program, offering access to on-the-spot ticket purchasing for the entire festival line-up.
Grab specially curated refreshments and settle into the one, the only Sholay.
Often regarded as one of the best Indian films of all time, Sholay tells the story of two criminals, Veeru and Jai, who are unexpectedly hired by a retired police officer to capture the ruthless, notorious bandit Gabbar Singh.
Co-presented by Rio Theatre and Indian Summer Festival, we are buzzing to be bringing the masala in masala films to East Vancouver. Join us for a spicy night of drama, art, and fun!
