Note: the Soundtrack for all shows will be the Bollywood version, except on Sunday night at 10pm, when we'll play the original Dirty Dancing soundtrack.

You thought it couldn't happen, but it really can and it really will. We present both Dirty Dancing films (but NOT Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights) side-by-side on two screens each.

You all know the original. Here the description of its Bollywood cousin:

"Dirty Dancing" blatantly stolen nearly shot for shot. The story begins with the family of Dr. Daksh Suri arriving in Goa for a month-long vacation. Accompanying Dr. Suri are his wife and two daughters, the extroverted Samara and shy, bookish Muskaan. Muskaan befriends a group of dancers who perform risqué and exotic routines to Salsa music (the song exposing the girl to such forbidden pleasures is aptly titled, "The Sound of the Future.") at the hotel’s discotheque. One among them is pregnant, and Muskaan—always eager to make things work out for the best—boldly decides to step in as her replacement when she goes for her abortion. Completely clueless when it comes to the dance, rugged and rebellious Dino steps in to train her, and in the process helps her overcome her fears. And in case you didn’t guess, they also fall in love. "Move with my Body," another ridiculously sultry R&B breakdown is performed against a Che Guevara backdrop. Onjolee Nair as the awkward Muskaan even looks something like Jennifer Grey. Not to be believed!
