Kritika Mitra was back to party at HHI after three years. “The last time I was here was when it was Underground but I found UG Reincarnated very nicely refurbished. I loved the leg space that was missing previously,” said the marketing professional from Delhi.

TALKING POINTS

The laser curtain: Laser beams cut through the entrance to private lounge section Zingg, adding a dramatic effect. Yes, we were floored!

The LED glass floor: The cool visuals at the bottom of the stairs made a good first impression. Foot selfies were uploaded on Snapchat with ‘Guess where?’ captions.

The seating pockets: A good nightclub architect will pack in plenty of private pockets. UG Reincarnated has laid out a couple of cushiony couches... a big relief for those weary feet! 

Familiar faces: Shamim will be manning the gate. Asif and Shubhodeep will be behind the bar. All three were last seen at Shisha, the nightclub that officially closed on November 28. 

Fate at the gate: Will it be easy to get entry to UG Reincarnated? Or will head of operations Sovan Mookherjee live up to his reputation of being the toughest crowd screener in town? #MayTheForceBeWithYou
