Wilson College is geared up for its seventh edition of Olé, the inter-collegiate festival taking place from the 19th to the 21st of December.
This year’s theme, Olé Dobara: Bambai se Mumbai, takes a leaf out of the pages of the magical old Bombay, the time of Kaali Peelis, Double Deckers, Dev Anand and Kishore Kumar. We intend to honour the era long gone that gave birth to the gigantic metropolis that we now call Mumbai.
