Shamiana Breaks the records!!

Shamiana anniversary celebrations couldn't get a better start. Maddy performed 4 melodious songs and the mood was set, the temperature had risen.

The shamiana anniversary screening began with a very tasty starter …A two and a half minute film “Amdavad Appetite” by Madhvi Bhatt ensured that everybody was salivating. It took us on a drive around the city of Ahmedabad and showing tempting amdavad food.

The short film “chair” got everybody thinking, everybody could have different interpretations of the short film. They used the prop chair to show that loved ones have a permanent place in our heart. As always the interaction with the movie makers was very entertaining, with cyrus sir’s humorous inputs. He makes sure he gives enough appreciation and motivation to all those who deserve and his funny comments makes sure the audience is glued!

The show stopper of the evening was certainly the last movie that was screened: Henry by Canadian Yan England. It was super sad and incredibly touching.

These movies were so gripping that nobody realized when it was time to depart, on interviewing one of the first timers they told me that they won’t miss future screenings and suggested that shamiana should at least increase the duration by one hour and increase the frequency of screenings.

Shamiana fever is fast spreading. Hats off to cyrus dastur for taking so much efforts and pushing shamiana to great heights. Once again happy birthday shamiana, may we get to attend more and more anniversary screenings in bigger and bigger auditoriums !
