Comic Con Bangalore

It was the first time for me to visit Comic Con India, Bangalore that was held across three days. Yes it was one of the treats you could get on the Easter weekend in Bangalore.

It would be unfair if I dint thank my friend here.

Comic Con celebrates the spirit of creativity across all age groups. The hot sunny day did not deter the people of Bangalore to showcase their love for comics, pop-culture, gaming, movies and more. The venue, White Orchid Hall, Manyata Embassy Business Park, Bangalore was filled with vibrant colors, humor and energy. As I entered, the whole system was organized with sign boards where people could buy tickets at the venue, register themselves and were greeted by young comic con organizers with a high-five. It felt like the entire India comic industry had come together under one roof.

Bangalore Comic Con or the BCC, as it is called witnessed some high profile guests from the very famous and much awaited TV series, Game of Thrones. The show stealer was definitely the once in a lifetime opportunity to sit on the coveted throne from the Game of Thrones and get snapped. There was huge line up for the Throne.


 One of the stalls I stopped by was at the very famous Sirji Comic which was put up by a bunch of engineering students who claimed, Sirji was a visionary in himself.
 The Curiosity Kills the Cat stall had some cool paintings put up. I managed to take a click with all time favorite Chota Bheem.

There was something for every age group. The stalls and booths were packed with T-shirts, 3D-printers, bags, party gear. The stall Pavitra Paapi had some cool phrases from the very own Bollywood tweaked with sleazy humor and it definitely was a hit.

I also managed to spot Harry Potter, Jack Sparrow from the pirates of the Caribbean, Characters from the ElsWorld.

How can I miss, the live Skype chat with one of the NASA astronaut who shared her experience about the trips she made to Mars.

Although the 4-wheeler parking was much ahead from the main event venue, there were buses arranged to pick and drop from the parking to the main gate. Kudos to Bangalore traffic police who managed the traffic effortlessly.

I loved my first ever Comic Con experience. Did you?
