Usually, themes get repeated, but there were some fresh themes being explored by a few teams.” Khyati, a student of Shaheed Rajguru, said, “I liked the performance of Sri Venkateswara College which was about illiteracy. They were the most coordinated ones. I liked their costumes and makeup.”

Rishabh Sharma, one of the audience members, said, “I liked the performance of Sensation, the dance society of

KMC

. It looked like a theatrical act with all drama and music. They didn’t just dance but acted as well. In a beautiful performance, they showed us the story of a kingdom and how greed and desire take over a man’s senses. Though they didn’t win, I thoroughly enjoyed their performance.”
