The Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards (DPIFF) 2025 is all set to celebrate a decade of cinema.

The two-day event will take place in Mumbai on October 29 and 30.

Named after the Father of Indian Cinema, the late Shri Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, the awards have become one of the most prominent platforms for celebrating Indian cinema. Over the years, they have brought together stars, filmmakers, government delegates, and industry veterans on one stage.

The 2024 edition saw big names such as Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Nayanthara, Rani Mukerji, and Shahid Kapoor attending the ceremony.

This year's 10th edition is expected to be even bigger, featuring performances and a special showcase of stories from across India's diverse film industries. The festival will also continue with its Global Short Film Festival, which has seen filmmakers from around the world participate.

According to a press release, DPIFF CEO Abhishek Mishra, while sharing insights into the upcoming event, said, "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."

️ 10 years already! Time flies. Dadasaheb Phalke would be proud to see how Indian cinema has evolved. Hope they have a special tribute to veteran artists who've contributed to these 100 years of Indian cinema.

While I appreciate the glamour, I hope DPIFF focuses more on meaningful cinema rather than just star power. Last year some truly deserving independent films were overlooked for bigger commercial movies.

The Global Short Film Festival is such a brilliant initiative! As an aspiring filmmaker from Bangalore, I've submitted my work. Fingers crossed! 🤞 This platform gives new talent incredible visibility.

Perfect timing right before Diwali! 🪷 It's like a festival celebration for film lovers. Hope they include more regional performances this time - would love to see Bhojpuri, Punjabi, and Malayalam dance numbers!
