Film Screening (Col – 110 mins) The 1978 movie Grease is an electrifying musical that perfectly captures the vibrant energy of 1950s high school life. Directed by Randal Kleiser, this film stars John Travolta as Danny Zuko, the cool and charismatic leader of the T-Birds, and Olivia Newton-John as Sandy Olsson, the sweet and innocent girl next door. Their summer romance takes an unexpected turn when Sandy transfers to Rydell High, and their love story becomes the heart of the movie. The film is a lively blend of romance, comedy and music, featuring iconic songs like ‘Summer Nights’, ‘Greased Lightning’, and ‘You’re the One That I Want’. Stockard Channing delivers a standout performance as Rizzo, the tough yet vulnerable leader of the Pink Ladies, while Jeff Conaway shines as Kenickie, Danny’s loyal best friend and fellow T-Bird. Grease thrives on its nostalgic charm, dynamic choreography and unforgettable ensemble performances. With its colourful characters and timeless soundtrack, the movie became a cultural phenomenon, cementing its place as one of the most beloved musicals of all time with its infectious spirit and enduring message about love, friendship and staying true to yourself.
