The Rajasthan International Film Festival RIFF 2017
was a memorable event as various filmmakers from all over the world had
gathered under one roof to showcase their feature films and short films. It was
a dream come true moment for Joy Mukerji's eldest son Monjoy Joy Mukerji who
won the coveted Award for the Best Debutant Director at RIFF 2017 for his movie
Hai Apna Dil Toh Awara which is a rom-com based on modern day relationships of
couples.
Monjoy remembered his late legendary father,
India's first chocolate hero Shree Joy Mukerji when his name was announced as
the Best Debutant Director . When we spoke to Monjoy, he said , " I am
