Rock band Coldplay have launched a global film project and asked fans to help them record a video of their song "Amazing Day".
The "Hymn for the Weekend" hitmakers have said fans to take a short video "showing the band their world" for their 2015 track.
A post on their official website reads: "Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, please take a moment on Saturday to make a short video showing us your world. The video should be around 20 seconds long and filmed in portrait aspect. Please don't use filters on your video. Your video is welcome to have sound, but it would also be good if your clip still makes sense if watched without audio or dialogue.
"Your amazing day might be as simple as being with your best friends or the view from your bedroom window. Or, do you have a unique talent or a special moment you'd like to show the world? Use your imagination ... Once you've made your video, upload it to your Instagram account, using the hashtag #ColdplayAmazingDay, and tagging your location."
Playback singer Monali Thakur sang her award winning song "Sawaar Loon" from Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha-starrer "Lootera".
British pop rock band "The Vamps" performed their hit tracks. They also had a great time working with ace choreographer Farah Khan.
"It was great fun meeting Farah Khan. She taught us some cool dance moves," they said.
Arjun introduced megastar Amitabh Bachchan on stage and Big B was joined by the Shillong Chamber Choir. He recited a poem which was a tribute to Indian women and gender equality.
Ever energetic Ranveer Singh also took to stage in his "Bajirao Mastani" costume and danced to "Malhari". Later he changed costume for "Befikre" song "Nashe Si Chad Gayi".
Actress Vidya Balan came on stage and spoke about issues like open defecation, clean water and sanitation.
Sonam Kapoor pledged to educate youth about sustainable development, sharing the goal of making Internet reach about 300,000 villages.
