Snapshots from The Telegraph CC&FC 31st Nite

To make things even more exciting firecrackers lit up the sky at midnight

Mamta Sharma and her dancers were the highlight of the evening. The Bollywood playback singer sung her originals and covers of famous Bollywood songs including Anarkali disco chali, Munni badnaam and Fevicol se. A song that catered to the audience the most? Kolkatar rosogolla!

Shaleni S Biswas (right) and her companion were ready for the cool new year in their white outfits, making them stand out from the crowd. We loved the poofy hats they had on as well.

Either plain black or sequinned black was the way to go for Lopa (right) and her friend.

Sayantani Guhathakurta was ready in an electric blue and black combo. “DJ Rhea was great. Her mix of Bollywood and live percussion was great. 31st is all about enjoying so I really enjoyed the music. The bonfire, ambience and food were plus points,” said the actress.

Sagnik Samaddar of Whale In the Pond was also present. “Every year, I am usually busy with shows or family gatherings on 31st night, but this year I am glad that I decided to step out and got to enjoy the last day of the year with good vibes and delicious food in the presence of my closest friends,” he said.

Singer Paloma Majumder was present for 31st with her purple and pink streaks. “This 31st is quite different and special for me. I am usually on stage but I get to spend tonight with friends and family on New Years Eve for the first time without the pressure of running back and forth from a gig. If the pandemic has taught us anything then it is probably how important spending time with your loved ones is. So it feels great to share this moment with them especially at CC&FC, a place I grew up in,” she said.

Revellers like Natasha Choudhury sure had a lot of fun in the The Telegraph ONLINE video booth as many of them got their own videos made for Instagram where only they were the centre of attention. “The video was taken on my husband’s phone. I still have so much to upload from that night but am still reeling from it. This was the first time I was doing something like this and it was hilarious. My husband kept imitating me,” laughed the home-maker.

The nip in the air was cool but the bonfires around made it cosy enough for a selfie by for Dolon Ganguly (right) and Moonmoon Ghosh.

Now here’s a fun couple! Joy and Saswati Majumder were sure in a fun mood on 31st night. “It’s always a tradition for us to spend New Year’s Eve at CC&FC. It’s the best place to party surrounded by amazing food and drinks,” said Saswati.

“We did what we do best on big nights — we made sure that it was a fabulous party. The club looked magical with the special lighting, arrangements, bonfires and the works. Mamta Sharma rocked the show with continuous hit numbers and the dance floor was packed. DJ Rhea ensured that the party continued till the early hours of the new year. The array of food stalls serving different cuisines were extremely popular. The entire ambience was fabulous and everyone seemed to be happy as we stepped into the new year. It has been a huge effort by the entertainment, bar and catering sections,” said Deepankar Nandi, president, CC&FC, who was present with wife Swati Nandi.

All that dancing can sure get you tired. The club had a set of stalls as well as yummy bites from their kitchen. House of Dimsums plated piping hot dimsums and Crunchy Chicken was a favourite. To wash it all down with, there was an array of single malts, white spirits, premium booze and soft drinks.
