In Thirkan, the crowd tapped their feet alongside the 'Vigoureux Crew' from Ravenshaw University, Cuttack who won the group dance event after a tough competition from team 'Danza' of ITER, Bhubaneswar. Devjyoti Goswami, of Sophitorium College of Engineering, Bhubaneswar captivated the hearts and minds of the judges and 'janta' to waltz away as the winner of the solo event.
The magical Mika Singh gave the spectators an evening they will cherish for years to come. He made the crowd reach its crescendo through a combination of old hits from the oeuvre along with his latest compositions, which were deliriously lapped up by the enthusiastic audience.
