The sixth edition of the South Indian International Movie Awards is being held in Abu Dhabi on June 30 and July 1. While the first day is dedicated to Telugu and Kannada films, the second day is about Malayalam and Tamil films. Many bigwigs from the industry are in Dubai for the event and the first day has already given us some scintillating performances along with the announcement of the winners.
