Commenting on the ceremony, Azmi said: “To be having this honour to hoist the Indian flag, the flag that I’m so proud of, the flag all of us present today are proud of in Melbourne is an honour I never believed I could have. I would like to reiterate that we are here to celebrate Indian cinema in Melbourne, and I truly believe that art knows no boundaries and cinema can be an instrument for social change.” The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2023 continues to be a significant platform for showcasing the vibrancy and diversity of Indian cinema on the global stage.

Lara Dutta and Patralekhaa have teamed up for the revenge thriller drama, Suryast. Filming for Avishek Ghosh’s directorial venture was held in the UK in a start-to-finish schedule, and was recently concluded, the makers said in a statement. Set in a majestic mansion with sprawling lawns, this revenge drama presents the tale of two women whose paths inadvertently cross. The movie marks a reunion between Dutta and Ghosh after they worked together on the romantic drama, Ishq-E-Nadaan, earlier this year. “It has been an incredible experience on one of the most organised sets. I have never been part of such a physically and emotionally intense shoot, and I will not forget this character for a long time to come. I am glad that I was given this opportunity to explore a character like this one. It has been one of the most fulfilling experiences,” Dutta said. Patralekhaa added, “My character has amazing shades. I enjoyed playing her on screen.”
