IPL closing Ceremony

Salman Khan is performing before the start of the IPL T20 final match.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) lived up to the hype as curtains were dropped on the 44-day razzmatazz with a breathtaking closing ceremony at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai today evening.

Bollywood, music, laser shows, para-gliding and a stupendous show by the Montreal-based Cirque du Soleil (Circus of the Sun) lit up the stadium in what could easily pass for an Olympic closing ceremony before actual action -- featuring Shane Warne's Rajasthan Royals and Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings -- began. Amrita Arora shook a leg to Kings XI Punjab theme song before Sameera Reddy replaced her, dancing to the tune of the Kolkata Knight Riders song.Shamita Shetty then took the stage for the theme songs of the Bangalore and Chennai sides, while Diya Mirza was the toast of the partisan crowd as she danced to the Mumbai theme song "Aila re."
