Dadasaheb Phalke Jayanti 2009

4th May 2009

A few days ago my neighbor Mr. Aloke Dasgupta informed me that he has been contacted by the Dadasaheb Phalke Academy. The Western India Cinematographer's union had forwarded Mr. Dasgupta's name for an award for the veterans of the film industry. The award ceremony was held in Bhai Das Hall in Vile Parle on the 4th of May. These photographers were very eager to get a good shot. They caused a complete chaos when some of them decided to climb on the stage, leaving no space for the awardees to go up the stage. Apart from that, for the entire duration of the ceremony, they blocked the view of people sitting on the first few rows which included celebrities like Sanjay Khan, Sanjay Kapoor, Manoj Kumar and few others.
