The fest season in DU has officially kicked off with Symphony, the annual cultural festival of Janki Devi Memorial College (JDMC). While star nights may be the highlights of fests, but the theatre, dance and fashion competitions are what students look forward to the most to showcase their talents. The themes of these competitions keep changing every year to the most talked about issue of the year - from women's empowerment to nationalism. So it is no wonder that this year, students have incorporated Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmaavat' in their plays and dance performances to lend their support to the movie. In the first fest of the year, two college societies have already opened their performances with references to the movie. Other societies tell us that they too have commented on the controversial issue, but while some have directly named the film, others are referring to it in a more subtle way.
