August 29 is the La Tomatina Festival at Bufol in Spain and this year one can be part of about 40,000 tomato enthusiasts who turn up for the festival. For Indians, `La Tomatina' the festival became popular thanks to the film `Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' that hit about 1800 screens and was a critical and commercial success. The enduring image that `ZNMD' has left behind was the La Tomatia Festival that the three bachelor boys attend in Bufol upon a request from Laila (Katrina). Such was the fascination that event organizer in India tried to emulate this. A festival that happens in the last week of August provides the opportunity for Indian tourists to travel and experience the festival directly.
