    The Best Film Festival India has to acknowledge, its largely undiscovered yet, i appeal to the independent film makers to consider this one seriously, as its unbiased in their judgements and moreover gives the best experience of Rajasthan culture and hospitality.

    It is great for me to accept the award for the AWARD – BEST INTERNATIONAL ANIMATION SHORT FILM for Love Bubbles. I would have loved to take part in the festival, but unfortunately I was unable to attend.
    However, I had good contact with the festival team and was well informed via social media. Thank you very much!
