These nominations have been selected from Hindi films released in 2025. This prestigious initiative aims to recognize and honor excellence at the highest standards of Indian cinema.

The next phase of the awards will focus separately on South Indian cinema.

Every year, JIFF and NDFF have initiated these awards for Hindi films released in that year. The jury for this selection consists of three film industry professionals, one AI system, and a representative from the organizing committee.

This year, the Best Film category includes remarkable films such as Mahavatar Narsimha, Dhurandhar, Haq, Humans in the Loop, Jugnuma – The Fable, The Mehta Boys, and Metro… In Dino. In addition, prominent artists and creators have been recognized across categories including direction, acting, writing, music, cinematography, editing, and other technical fields.


The nomination list reflects the diversity, contemporary themes, and creative experimentation in Indian cinema. Through these awards, films and artists that have made a significant impact on audiences and critics throughout the year are being given a distinguished platform.


The official announcement of the winners of Cinema of The Year (CTA) – ICA 2025 will be made soon.

Spokesperson Nitin Sharma emphasized that this initiative is completely democratic, transparent, and based on high standards. Any form of influence is strictly prohibited. The principle is simple: work speaks for itself, and awards are determined accordingly.

No physical or cultural event will be organized for these awards. Read More
