As per the guest views, the function was very enjoyable, they loved all the performances especially, NDM Bollywood Dance Studios which stood out with prestige and received the maximum awards in the competition and each item presented was exclusive, covering all age groups.

It was everyone’s observation that the program went on until 2:00 am, and could have been cut down by presenting the committee gifts behind the screen and cutting short on the speeches. Parking was also one of the problems discussed. They also said that Time line is an important aspect for any function and they hoped that all these issues will be addressed next year.
