We are all familiar with the IIFA awards of Bollywood. From the last year, a new initiative, IIFA Utsavam, commenced to honor and appreciate the performances in Telugu and Malayalam cinema.
The institution was back with their second edition this week in the royal city of Nizam’s, Hyderabad, celebrating cinema down south over a 2 day affaire. With all the famed faces from Tollywood gracing the green carpet, the 2 day event was a big success grabbing much limelight.
While captivating performances by stars ensured the entertainment quotient was high, it was the green carpet dress up that pulled us towards the awards night.
The green carpet dazzled with star babes shining in their full might, and the drama was no less than the magnanimous award nights hosted by Bollywood.
