The 10-day festival screened some of the best films from around the world, but what seemed to be missing were the big names from Bollywood.
The event was inaugurated by Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar but his presence of a mere 10-15 minutes left the audience disappointed and wanting more.
Singer Kailash Kher's lip-sync performance at the opening day was also another setback for the festival.
The highlight was Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" and their star cast Irrfan Khan and Tabu.
Also present tomorrow at the festival will be Indian American producer Ashok Amritraj, to whom a tribute is being paid at the festival.
Over a hundred movies across India and world cinema were screened and more than ten thousand delegates were present at the Festival.
