Who Is It For?
This is for everyone who loves films {both Indian and international}, and would love to be immersed in an environment which is all about watching, appreciating and discussing movies. It is also for those who may not always call themselves a ‘movie-buff’ but are interested in seeing more, knowing more and running into celebrities.
