IFFI2005 was a total failure, because apart from the
lack of entertainment, it did not benefit the local
people commercially. The Entertainment Society of Goa
was flooded with applications to set up stalls, run
rickshaws and put up counters at the Inox courtyard,
but apart from the beach screenings -- which were
shifted from Miramar to Caranzalem -- there were not
many competitions or other activities. Pratap
Bhonsale of Sohan Caterers rues this, saying
"We were able to make only Rs 1000 to 2000 per day."
