What else could better than Dancing and enjoying on music played by DJs Varin and Sukhin?
Truly DJ Varin came back with bang playing all the Bollywood’s latest dance numbers at BollyWEST nite at 87+ (Conrad Hotel).
As usual me and my friends were having doubts about the turnout due to the bad timing, but again DJ Varin defied our presumptions and prooved us wrong.
After 11 o clock dance floor was filled with handsome boys and pretty girls dancing on great music played by DJ Varin and DJ Sukhin.
Varin played the title track "Singh is king" several times, which was a big hit with the crowds.
My favourite song of that night was "main Talli Ho Gayi" which could be reflected by the fact that girls were "talli" and really dancing like hot Malika Sherawat.
Party ended with lucky draw event where prizes was distributed to lucky winners
Look out for Varin's next party, we hope that this unbeatable "Jodi number 1" of DJs Varin and Sukhin remain intact and they continue to rock us for years to come!
