An eclectic mix of unforgettable musical sojourns and frenzied waltzing; of frolicking the day, partying the nights and yet heeding society’s cause. This is an utopia, a chance to seize life for 4 days and yet lose yourself. This is not a dream, this is where dreams come true. This is not just any college fest. This is Spring Fest. This is SF. This is Simply Fantastic.

Wildfire:

Its time to sling your guitars and lossen up those riffs. For Rockageddon is upon you all. Wildfire is the premier amateur rock-band competition of Eastern India. Having been judged by the likes of Parikrama and Cassini’s Division, the spotlight is surely gonna be on you.

Calling all the wannabe Speilbergs and Rays, its time to set the cameras rolling. You always wanted to make the ‘film-makers cut’; well here is your chance. Introducing in SF’10, 70mm brings to you a whole genre of events related to movie-making. Shoot an inhouse documentary in “Lights Camera SF” or let your creative juices flow in “de Montagio”. Or just drop by with your pics in “Cell-flix”. With such a variety, this is a potboiler you surely cant miss!

Centrifuge:

An inter-collegiate event, and one of the most anticipated events, this is when hordes of people descend upon Netaji to watch the best teams in India set the stage on fire with breathtaking dancing skills. Such is the crowd fervor on display that winner may be one but losers are none! So get ready to flaunt those oh-so-amazing moves you’ve been practising all along. May Terpsichore smile over you…

The participants first witnessed a mock film shoot on the lines of the movie ‘Quick Gun Murugan’ and they primarily set their eyes on all the ingredients that go into film-making. They were then handed a scene from the movie to enact followed by a dance rehearsal and performance. All the members were provided with Quick Gun costumes and make-up, followed by funny dialogues from the film. They had to perform these dialogues thereafter as a scene, which they did wholeheartedly without any hang-ups at all.

Towards the end, Rajendra Prasad was brought in as the celebrity judge to evaluate their performances. The performances were judged within the categories ‘Best Male Actor’, ‘Best Female Actor’, ‘Best Male Dancer and ‘Best Female Dancer’. Four participants were declared winners in accordance with these categories, and the winners were presented with mementos by Rajendra Prasad and Suresh Babu. All the members participated and performed enthusiastically, and on the whole everyone had a thorough entertaining experience.
