The son of Mumbai distributor Dinesh Gandhi discovered an apt way to celebrate Diwali. Bunty teamed up with his management friends from H.R. College to organize a special show of "Mughal-e-Azam" for senior citizens at Eros theatre.

Nine of the college students decided to make it part of their project. They invited senior citizens from prominent Old Age Homes like Missionaries of Charity, Byculla, Salvation Army, Byculla, King George's Memorial, & J.J. Dharamshala, Bombay Central, to watch the special show of the film.

"We thought what better way to celebrate Diwali than to brighten up and add color to the lives of many to whom society owes the most," says Bunty.

The special screening was held at Eros Nov 12 and the 120 senior citizens who enjoyed the event were escorted in special buses organized by students.

"It was a pleasure to see the faces of those old people light up with happiness and joy," says Dinesh Gandhi, who personally looked into the arrangements for the show and ensured that it was a success.
