Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra-starrer Barfi’s official entry to the Oscars meant great news for three students from Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA) who played a key role in the film’s success. Phalguni Aneja, Pratap Kaul and Sangeet Paryani were thrilled after winning an
all-India contest organised by UTV Motion Pictures, the production house of the film, to design its marketing campaign. The team created the catch phrase, “Don’t worry, be Barfi” for the movie and were acknowledged by formal credit in the film for the contribution.
