BRING ON THE NIGHT – where night comes alive, every night
.night after night.
A story of four friends – KD, Devang, Patrick and Maakad. They set out to turn a 200 yr old building into an underground all night party destination.
KD, loves to call himself a party designer. He is the mastermind behind this crazy plan. The suave, passionate and always ready to experiment, but loses his cool when his emotions are tested.
Devang, the quintessential gujju helps to execute KD's dream finding a 'jugad' for every hurdle. The goofy software engineer always dressed in formals, who agrees for an arranged marriage, is just the outer shell of conformity. Inside, he is the ultimate prankster who can kill you with his humour peppered with a volley of galis.
Patrick, the Anglo- Desi with a creative mind and love for gadgets. He is like an exotic dish served on a thali. He turns this old dilapidated building into a snazzy party haven with his unique techno art.
Maakad, the do all local guy, does everything to keep the place running. From getting permission to hold a concert in the backyard of the building, to pulling strings with the reigning political family, Makar does everything. His intense eyes speak more than his words, loves is friends genuinely. But wherever he goes, troubles follow him.
The Parsi boys top up the dose of humour with their crazy antics. The girls - the chef and the bartender, complete the set up with a pinch of romance.
Together, they succeed in making it a place where party flows all night with booze, gigs, gaming sessions and more, but not without the hitches and glitches

From the Maska pav mornings to heady cocktail nights, the story brings alive the young, urban face of Mumbai but has a certain rawness to it that keeps it quite Indian at the core. The camaraderie between the characters is enacted with ease by the actors and the fluidity of dialogues takes it a notch above just good.
The episodes have a pace to match with the GenX needs. A clever thing to do keeping in mind since the target audience has a very short attention span and is spoiled for choices when it comes to entertainment. The montages showing the social media's role in building the place, lend it an even faster pace and topicality. The background score compliments the storytelling. Heavy hard rock scores when it's apt and soft acoustics when it should be.
In all a fresh script, stylized in a super slick fashion with smart direction and editing. Thanks to the makers for bringing a new lease of life to fiction series on Indian Television which is inundated with the so called young romantic tales wrapped in the same old banarasi saree. Hope it brought the urban youth back to the couches, keeping aside their smart phones to take a look at the Idiot Box. Oops! The official version is available on youtube too.
