Palace diaries
Zangoora is staged at Nautanki Mahal, which is built like an Indian palace, with every bit of the outside wall carved with Khajuraho-inspired designs and geometric filigrees. The musical started its journey six months back, featuring Hussain Kuwajarewala, Gauahar Khan and Kashmira Irani. There are extravagant dance sequences of popular Bollywood numbers to capture audiences from a wider spectrum. The LED and projection screens along with in-built circular revolving stage, motorised lifts, aerial flying systems and special effects make for a futuristic experience for an enthralled audience. You can also buy a drink from a red glass mosaic bar flanked on both sides.
