Burman tribute concert alongside singer Priyanka Mitra.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many new things happening, I can hardly keep track,\u201d said Vikas Kohli, founding director of the festival. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to dance to Neeraj Shridhar\u2019s hits and enjoy the outdoor screening of DDLJ while eating makhani momos and Japanese cheese poutine from our 40-plus vendors.\u201d<\/p>\n
