But the premiere of 'xXx: Return Of Xander Cage', Bollywood star Deepika Padukone’s Hollywood debut, held at Lower Parel’s Phoenix mall on Thursday, with crowds jostling behind barricades at all three entrances to the multiplex, the red-carpet starting from the end of the parking lot, cameras flashing, sound-bytes galore, invitees dressed in their best, gave a fair glimpse of the ‘proper’ film premieres from back in the day.
