AWARDS

Awards are not just idols of different shapes…they signify the idealistic efforts of the artistic hearts. Awards are the due respects paid to the persevering performance of hundreds of people, be it the actors, directors, lyricists, cameramen and all the technicians, who are the life blood of cinema. The day when such a cinema is screened amongst millions of public, movie lovers, critics, veterans of the industry, and the day it receives the admiration of all of them -- that is the day of true satisfaction for all those who put in their best to make it what it actually is.

‘Ayam bandhurayam neti ganana laghuchetasam, Udaracharitanam tu vasudhaiva kutumbakam’

(Extract from the Vedic scripture Maha Upanishad, meaning ‘One is my brother and the other is not – is the thinking of a narrow-minded person. For those who are broad-minded, liberals, or noble people, the entire world is a one big family.’) Nothing exemplifies the Indian notion of non-violence and peaceful coexistence as ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, the phrase in which the IFFI and its theme are rooted.
