Ketan
Mehta's
much-awaited
movie
Rang
Rasiya
was
screened
ahead
of
a
musical
concert
in
aid
of
an
initiative
dedicated
to
eradication
of
curable
blindness.
The
cast
members
of
Rang
Rasiya
--
Randeep
Hooda
and
Nandana
Sen
--
were
present
at
the
event,
organised
by
Mahindru
Foundation,
and
they
did
their
bit
to
raise
awareness
and
funds
for
eye
donations.
"Mahindru
Foundation
has
plans
of
opening
100
eye
banks
all
over
India
and
I
lend
them
full
support
for
this
noble
initiative
and
appeal
to
all
to
pledge
their
eyes
to
support
their
endeavour
in
making
India
blind-free," Randeep
said.
His
co-star
Nandana
said,
"We
are
proud
to
pitch
in
for
the
cause
of
eye
donations.
The
movie
'Rang
Rasiya'
is
all
about
a
painter
(Raja
Ravi
Verma)
and
the
vibrant
colours
of
life.
So
it
is
only
natural
for
us
to
help
someone
experience
the
colours
of
life."
The
film's
screening
was
followed
by
a
live
musical
concert,
featuring
Sunidhi
Chauhan
and
Kailash
Kher,
in
association
with
Gurgaon
Police,
seeking
to
raise
awareness
and
funds
for
eye
donations.
Ashok
Mahindru,
managing
trustee,
Mahindru
Foundation,
said,
"The
cause
of
the
blind
is
a
very
moving
one.
Imagine
not
experiencing
life
for
a
single
day...The
tragedy
is
that
80
percent
of
the
blind
population
can
be
cured.
But
because
of
lack
of
awareness
and
poor
donation
rate,
they
live
in
darkness
and
are
deprived
of
the
joys
of
life."
It
is
for
this
cause
that
the
"Rang
Rasiya" has
intended
to
raise
funds
for
two
upcoming
eye-banks
-
one
in
association
with
Lotus
Eye
Hospital,
Mumbai
and
other
in
association
with
Bhuvneshwari
Madharai's
Ashram,
Rishikesh.
