About the Event
Remember that era of school days, those teenage love affairs, romance in the air and enthusiastically following the heroes, heroines and even the story-lines of Hindi cinema? Let's revive the feelings which still bring restlessness and let the butterflies fly in the stomach. Well! The 'Prem Kabootar' takes you to that ageless moment. Saleem the tailor and a Casanova, Raju the chai wala and Suneel the ardent follower of Hindi films, who flip-flops from being a hero or a villain. The magical feel of love for these characters, the chirpy starlets and their heroines go through the topsy-curvy ride of life till they end up being KABOOTAR. Yes, Kabootar. You have read it right.
