daylong screenings and entertainment shows kept the festival fever going on
the entire day, the evening events were the highlights of Day 7.
While popular singer Sonu Nigam rocked and rolled till late in the night
performing to a NIWS Ground houseful audience, the surprise package was the
meeting with the super-band Boney M. The famous foursome made a brief
appearance prior to their Disco Concert scheduled for November 30th.
Sonu Nigam was the cynosure of all eyes on the evening of Day 7 as he
performed hit after hit and also a special number "Do you Believe", an
awesome English-Hindi-Punjabi trilingual song that is a part of Tanuja
Chandra's Hope and Little Sugar that will be screened tomorrow.
On the movies front, the day's lineup included Poet of the Wastes (Iran),
Aviva my Love (Israel), Nirontor (Bangladesh), Borat (USA), Zuzu Angel
(Brazil) and Muyeong Geom (South Korea) among others. Several high profile
personalities including directors Tanuja Chandra, Pankuj Parasher and actor
Revathy were present at the festival. The Master Classes were undertaken by
Oscar winner Stephen Woolley.
The Open Forum on Day 7 discussed Film Criticism Today with M.K.
Raghavendra, Uppal Borpujari, Jyothi Venkatesh and Sibal Chatterjee. The
session was moderated by Nandini Sardesai. The Launch Pad section saw a
special preview of the movie 90 Mins with director Iqbaal Rizzvi.
The event schedule of the day included street animations, bands at the
Croniche Street. At Children's Park, the Soon Sahiba Dhoon, the singing
concert continued on the Krrish stage and the movie, Adventures of Tenali
Raman was screened. The mobile screenings comprised of three hilarious
