    Saira Banu showed up to the Dilip Kumar Hero of Heroes film festival in advance of Dilip Kumar's 100th birthday to honour his greatest work with admirers... 

    Digital Desk: On Sunday, Saira Banu attended the opening ceremony of a two-day film festival honouring Dilip Kumar's 100th birthday. 



    The Film Heritage Foundation is organising the event, which is named 'Dilip Kumar Hero of Heroes.' Saira Banu became teary-eyed at the screening when she saw a poster of the late Dilip Kumar. 



    Reacting to the emotional moment, a fan took to the comment section and wrote, “Sayad hi kisi ne kisi ko itni mohabaat ki hogi (Only a few can love someone like her).” “Their love is an example for us,” added another one. “Pure love story,” also said someone.

    The film festival is partnered with theatre chains PVR Cinemas and INOX. It will be held on Saturday and Sunday. During the two days, Dilip Kumar’s critically-acclaimed movies, including Aan (1952), Devdas (1955), Ram Aur Shyam (1967) and Shakti (1982), will be screened in over 30 cinema halls and 20 cities across the country.

    Concerning the response since the festival's advance booking opened on December 3, Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, Joint Managing Director, PVR Limited, said in a statement, as shown by news agency PTI, "The response to the two-day film festival titled Dilip Kumar Hero of Heroes featuring four critically acclaimed movies has been encouraging." We opened advance bookings on December 3rd, and there has been a lot of excitement among Dilip Kumar fans for two of his films, Aan and Shakti."
