The most awaited sports cum entertainment event of the year, the DLF IPL 2012 was kicked off with an opening ceremony performed by Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Salman Khan, Katy Perry. Although there was a gang of Bollywood's masters in the podium, the function received a lukewarm response from the crowd.
