Saturday night saw the two potent forces of Bollywood collide on the ramp of the couture week -- beauty and Salman Khan. Naturally it was to be a robust evening.
While the clothes and sound production were flawed, Salman-giri (or was it show-giri?) certainly wasn't. Each segment began with a short dance routine to set the tone of the era.
Here are the best moments of the evening.
Khan magic
Sallu brought the house down accompanied by Sanjay Mandal's band from Kolkata, who produce music out of waste materials. Pity, the flawed sound system dented the spirits.
Pretty flawed: Though Preity opened the show to bring in the swinging '20s, the clothes let the mood down. A ra-ra skirt and derby hat do not belong in the Jazz era.
A plaintive tune: Karisma Kapoor represented the singing '60s. With bouffant, a tightly wrapped diaphanous saree and thumke-wale adaas, Karisma looked lovelier than ever.
Disco Sen: Sushmita Sen is the worthy heir apparent to the divas of the '70s - Parveen Babi and Zeenat Aman. She had fun on the ramp, all the while engaging in a one-sided conversation with the audience. The audience couldn't have enough, and the star returned with daughter Renee.
