  • The program added a Saturday public display for the first time, with tickets reported at Rs 999 via BookMyShow, followed by a Sunday coastal parade.
  • The parade started and ended at Taj Lands End, running via Bandra Reclamation, the Coastal Road, Marine Drive and a Nariman Point turnback in the morning.
