Bring On the Night is an Indian television miniseries that premiered on MTV India on 22 September 2012, starring Arjun Mathur, Patrick Graham, Hussain Dalal and Sarang Sathaye. The show follows Kabir "KD" Dalal, an entrepreneur in his late 20s, as he and his friends turn a 200-year-old heritage building in Mumbai into an all-night club. The series was written, conceptualized and directed by Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy.
Plot
editThe show revolves around Kabir "KD" Dalal[1] (Arjun Mathur) and his motley group of friends: Patrick Graham Fairbottom (Patrick Graham), Devang Oza (Hussain Dalal) and Maakad (Sarang Sathaye). Together with Patrick's ex-girlfriend Sheila Sethi (Dilkhush Reporter) and her friend Piyali Chaudhry (Geetika Tyagi), the Mistry brothers - the uptight Xerxes Mistry (Afshad Kelawala) and the dim-witted Hoshang Mistry (Kashyap Kapoor) - and their best friend Darius Dorabjee (Danesh Irani), the group converts a dilapidated 200-year-old building into a club.
Kabir is the manager at one of Mumbai's top nightclubs. However, one night a freak mishap leaves one of the regulars dead and hundreds of people sick. As a result, the club is shut down. Later, it turns out that Maakad had unwittingly supplied impure water, which led to the incident. This turns the relationship between Kabir and Maakad sour and Kabir shuts himself in his room for weeks.
His self-confinement ends when he accompanies friends to a party at an abandoned place owned by the father of the Mistry brothers. KD is struck by the place and decides to turn it into an all-night party hangout. With his friends chipping in, he sets about the task. One thing leads to another and the club, christened "The Den", becomes Mumbai's top hangout.
Its growing popularity catches the eye of gangster/politician Ravi Jhawle (Ravindra Ramkant). A heated exchange between Jhawle and KD leads to the club being shut down and KD landing in jail. However, with the help of the father of the Mistry brothers, the aristocratic and influential Sir Malcolm Mistry (Nikhil Kapoor), KD manages to escape. The show ends with the group bringing down Ravi Jhawle's political career, and the party continues once again.
