Good move but I hope they're not just promoting tourism at the cost of local ecology. Saw what happened to Mussoorie after too much commercialization. Need balance!

Hemant Pandey is perfect for regional cinema roles! Saw him in previous Garhwali films - he connects so well with local audiences. Hope this brings more work for our local artists too.

As someone who visited Uttarakhand last year, I'm thrilled! The landscapes are breathtaking and perfect for cinema. This policy might just make it the next Himachal for film shootings.

Subsidies are good but implementation is key. Hope the benefits actually reach small filmmakers and not just big production houses with connections. Uttarakhand has so many untold stories!

My cousin worked as an extra in this film! The 5% extra incentive for less popular locations is brilliant - will help develop rural areas economically. Jai Uttarakhand! 🙏
