The first-ever Cinema Heritage Auction outside of India that showcases vintage cinema memorabilia is being held by Osian’s in association with the IIFA Foundation at IIFA 2018. A glimpse of the memorabilia was displayed at the Official IIFA press conferences held in Mumbai and Delhi as a precursor to the grand exhibition and auction was held at the Marriott Marquis hotel between the 21st & 23rd of June.
