One of the year’s biggest Bollywood parties has begun. The stars are descending on the International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) 2017 in New York and the evening has been kicked off with a series of high voltage performances.

Here’s a peek:

The crazy duo Ritesh Deshmukh and Manish Paul are hosting B-Town for IIFA Rocks armed with charm and humour.

And Manish and Karan Johar together can always be expected to entertain.

Bollywood singer Kailash Kher took the stage to refresh the audience with some of his soulful numbers.

On the other hand, singer and actor Diljeet Dosanjh made the audience groove to the desi beats of ‘Proper Patola’.

A R Rahman too mesmerised the audience with his evergreen melodies.

Alia Bhatt brought to the fore her zany self as she rapped to ‘Ladki Beautiful Kargayi Chul’. No wonder she has the audience eating out of her hands.

Singer Mika Singh made the audience sing out load with his chart buster song ‘Heer Toh Badi Sad Hai’ from the movie Tamasha
