“Luv to Bhang” is a celebration of Bhangra Music in the city of Toronto!

It is a new type of party that is limited to those 25 & up, a mature clientele. Each male to every event must be accompanied by one Female, otherwise ADMISSION WILL BE DENIED to all events. Everything will be Strictly Enforced. With no admission restrictions on females.

If you remember the days of Basement parties at your uncles, and the pounding beat of Heera, Alaap, and Premi, as you danced in circles, well then this Party is for you!

It is brought to you by two Bhangra lovers that feel it’s time that the culture and music truly be enjoyed in an atmosphere where everyone can relax and bhang to the music! Rav (Double AA) & Manny (Desi Wear) found their is major void in the market. Gone are the days of hitting clubs every week, let alone once in a while. Many of us now are professionals, entrepreneurs, working hard, involved in serious relationships, or starting young families. But the love for Bhangra music has not died.

Why is it that now you can only enjoy the music you love in a banquet hall, eating bad food, with watered down drinks, not to mention your family looking at you because…well you have had one too many! While the ladies have to wear uncomfortable footwear, trying to fit into traditional clothing that does not let them let loose, and oh yes visiting the bar when it’s crowding with unlces is not always a comfortable feeling! Not to mention the party is over by 1:00 AM…at 1 AM we’re only GETTING STARTED!

In association with Sony Pictures, Desi Wear is proud to announce the new Movie, a Romantic Musical, Saawariya. And we’ve got an Exclusive Tshirt for this launch!!! This new special edition Tshirt was designed by a hot new artist on the scene, Premi. And what makes this movie special, (besides the fact that DW is involved, heh), is that it’s the first Indian movie produced by a Hollywood production house.

So Saawariya will be released in November 2007. It was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The story is based on Fyodor Dostoevsky’s short story, White Nights.

Warning! This synopsis contains spoilers
The lead roles will be played by débutantes Ranbir Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor’s son) and Sonam Kapoor (Anil Kapoor’s daughter).The film also stars Salman Khan and Rani Mukerji in supporting roles.
The protagonist is young 22 year old man who is a dreamer. He comes across a young lady and their story begins. Days are as bright as night. The story is based on four nights that the protagonists spend together. It is the story of a shy dreamer, Raj (22 years old), who spent most of his time isolated in his apartment, creating riddles and finding answers to them, jabbering poetry or arguing with his foolish landlady Miss Disa, with whom he shared a love/hate relationship.

Raj was loved by one and all, for he always brought happiness to the people around him. Destiny plans a magical tale for Raj over the next four nights of his life that shall change his entire being “Saawariya” is the story of a couple’s chance encounter and the advance of their parallel obsessions over four successive nights. An impromptu romance is initiated in a remote town in the serene beauty of picturesque Simla, a quaint hill station in Northern India that was once the summer capital of India under the British Raj, known for its lakes, mist, heavenly snowfall, rains and the tall swaying pine trees. The bright, fun-filled winding streets of the mall come alive with singing clubs, rustic folklore, dancing, love ballads, flourishing colonies of artists and weavers, and chants from the monastery- all woven in perfect harmony into a magical dream. It is here that the dreamer finds the ‘lost’ self in himself.
