‘PANGA’ WINS EVERYONE’S HEARTS, IN BANGKOK

A Special screening of the Indian Film Panga, directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, was held at Lido Connect recently, to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of India-Thailand Diplomatic Relations, and  to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of India’s Independence (Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav).

The feed-back from the large and diverse audience who attended the screening, was phenomenal, and quite unprecedented.
