Medicos enchant crowd with messages

Deccan Herald is the media sponsor for the event. Held at J K Grounds, the event witnessed students thronging the venue cheering their teams in the various competitions, here on Friday.

During their performance, the students showcased the losses caused to both humans due to terrorism. Belgaum Institute of Medical Sciences (BIMS) overshadowed the hosts, by sending a message on epilepsy. Their performance indicated how people from rural areas bow to superstitions and take patients to witchdoctors. The mime artists displayed the consequences and urged people to take epileptics to hospitals. The Scions from Bangalore Medical College captivated the audience with their stellar group dance performance dancing to tunes from movies such as Bombay and Saathiya. Blazing Constellations from MMC and RI performing to an instrumental tune set the stage on fire with their acrobatic moves.

Shimmying to the song ‘Jo hai albela madanainon wala...’ from Kisna, Sangeetha from Vidyashram College emulated the graceful dance of Isha Sharvani in the original. Cine actor Rakesh, whose movie Manasalogy released in theatres on Friday, made a cameo appearance at the event and enthralled the crowds by singing a song from Urban Lads.
