Pimpri Chinchwad: Cinema buffs will be able to catch 46 films from 22 countries as part of the Pune International Film Festival(
PIFF) jointly organized by Pune Film Federation, the state government and Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC). The week-long festival will begin on January 12.
Pimpri Chinchwad mayor Nitin Kalje said, "Senior actors Randhir Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor will inaugurate the festival at Carnival cinema, Chinchwad at 6.30pm. Singers Vivek Pande and Komal will regale the audience before the inauguration."
"It is a great opportunity for residents of Pimpri Chinchwad to watch so many films at two venues in the city. The festival is being held for many years in Pune so there is better public response there. With better publicity and audience response, we may be able to have a separate film festival too," added municipal commissioner Shravan Hardikar.
