Deepika impressed with 'movie enthusiasts'

Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone, who attended the Jio MAMI 21st Mumbai Film Festival with Star 2019, is quite impressed by the reaction of the audience and movie enthusiasts at the festival.

Deepika, who is Chairperson of the festival, shared her experience: "I think I managed to learn a lot in the last couple of months that I have been here at the festival in the process, I also watched some of the films that was screening from 190 movies. My best take away from the festival is, its audience."

"I see people who are so passionate about the cinema here. Some of them are budding filmmakers and actors, but there is a large number of people I have seen in the audience who are as enthusiastic about good cinema.

They are the pure audience who want to see good movies. This apart, I have to say that it is an impeccably well-organised festival and I would like to appreciate everyone who has worked tirelessly over the past few days, including all the volunteers," she said at the closing ceremony of the festival on Thursday evening.
