Closing Night at the Mumbai Film Fest



Well, yesterday night was the closing ceremony. It was a great event at this posh hotel, the JW Marriot in Juhu. Some great stars turned out, Amitabh Bachan received a lifetime achievement award, so he was there, Preity Zinta, Kunal Kolhi, and many more. It was an interesting event.

Even though we stuffed those ballot boxes with votes for our film, we didn't win the Audience Award unfortunately. But all in all, it was a great fest. We did an amazing Press Conference after the film, where we got to talk with the Press about the film. You can watch the 8 parts in Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcV1p9W9YLE
