The biggest film industry in the world is taking over the South of France at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. What better way to celebrate India’s 60th, yes, 6-0 Independence year than with the French on their 60th anniversary of the festival...now, isn’t THIS special! As many as seven Indian films will be showcased this year and Bollywood has pulled out all the stops as the most GLAM couples and stars are hitting the red carpets to get their fill of the papparazi and of course champagne! Think Desi wedding with sponsors, advertisers, press, market literature and non-stop parties! It doesn’t get any better than this...stars all dressed up in Indian garb, hotel parties that last all night long, fancy finger foods and cameras that catch every move! DesiHits!, Eros, UTV, Adlabs, Studio 18 are only the few major players to take the French Riviera by storm! The most anticipated event is the India party at the Majestic Beach on Friday. With an exclusive guest list of more than 700 (hmmm, I suppose this would be considered an intimate Desi wedding afterall), this affair will NOT disappoint. Will we see Abishek and Aish try and muster up a conversation with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie OR perhaps Brad and Angie will hit the Bachchans up for a dance lesson? Will Norah Jones try and get an audition for a Bollywood flick? Will Sanjay Dutt be able to stay sober long enough to realize he’s drinking champagne and NOT Johnny Walker? DesiHits! has your full coverage of this Bollywood affair that has rocked France! UPDATE - Bips and John make their way to the most luxurious film festival on the planet...but why does he look like he just got off the slopes in Switzerland and she look like she just walked off the runway?...John, the beanie is not Cannes chic! Bengali cinema is making their presence there, a number of film commissions are wooing Desi film producers/directors to shoot in their countries, the Indian Pavillion was officially inaugurated, Mani Ratnam, Anubhav Sinha, Raju Hirani and Ashok Amritraj were present from the filmmakers' fraternity, Manisha Koirala (in Cannes on holiday), Aarti Surendranath and our girl Preity Zinta (both in Cannes courtesy of Chopard) stole the thunder with their unrelenting elegance...keep it here for continued updates!!!
