Mumbai: The stage is set for one of the grandest celebrations in Indian cinema. The Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards (DPIFF) 2025 will light up Mumbai on 29th & 30th October, marking a historic milestone — 10 glorious years of honouring Indian cinema on a global stage.

Founded in memory of Late Shri Dhundiraj Govind Phalke — the Father of Indian Cinema, DPIFF has evolved into India’s most prestigious film festival and award ceremony, bringing together industry legends, rising stars, storytellers, and dreamers under one roof.

A Legacy of Stardom & Artistry
The 2024 edition was nothing short of spectacular, with Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Nayanthara, Rani Mukerji, Shahid Kapoor, and many more dazzling the stage. Year after year, DPIFF has proven itself as more than just an awards night — it’s a cultural phenomenon where stardom meets creativity.

What to Expect in 2025
This landmark 10th edition promises to be bigger than ever before — a breathtaking mix of star-studded appearances, mesmerizing performances, and heartfelt tributes to India’s cinematic heritage, from Bollywood to regional gems across the nation.

Championing New Voices
Alongside celebrating icons, DPIFF continues to empower new creators through its Global Short Film Festival, which has already attracted outstanding participation from storytellers worldwide. This makes it one of the most dynamic highlights of the festival — a stage for tomorrow’s voices.

A Truly Global Celebration
Adding to the excitement, renowned international personalities are expected to join, further establishing DPIFF as a global platform of storytelling, art, and culture.

Speaking about this milestone, Abhishek Mishra, CEO of DPIFF, shared:
“As we step into our 10th year, the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards will celebrate the universal magic of cinema like never before. This edition will be a grand gathering where legends, emerging creators, and audiences come together to honour the stories that move the world.”
