It was Shahrukh Khan all the way as the 'Bollywood Badshah' drew the maximum attention at a three-day Indian film festival here.

His three hits, "Kal Ho Na Ho", "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" and "Main Hoon Na" won over the young Warsovians, who were clapping and dancing whenever Shah Rukh came on the screen. "It's the time to disco" and "Mahi ve" - songs from "Kal Ho Na Ho" - were big hits.

For the more seriously inclined film buffs, the festival had on offer Satyajit Ray's "Pather Panchali", Raj Kapoor's "Awaara" and Mira Nair's "Salam Bombay".

A "Bollywood Masala" programme was also organised along with the festival that featured Indian dances, cuisine and Mehndi for the young girls. The halls were full to capacity as young and old Warsovians enjoyed the till six in the morning.

"We are all intoxicated with Bollywood and this hangover will last for a much longer time to come," said Gaberila Krzyzowska, an Indophile.

"For us Bollywood is a windfall and we started our distribution with 'Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham' in January and now we would like to exhibit all the important main films of Shah Rukh Khan. He is becoming a new icon in Poland," said a representative of the Gutak films, the Polish distributor and organiser of the festival.

Indian Ambassador to Poland Anil Wadhwa, who was instrumental in organising the festival, said Bollywood could be the medium to tell the world about 21st century India.

"Let the mountain come to Mohammad... we Indians have to take more initiatives to tell to the rest of the world what we are doing in the 21st century. Let Poland be the first country in the Eastern Europe to get a feel of modern India," Wadhwa told here at the conclusion of the festival Sunday.
