On the first festival of ideas, not just books, politics, and ideas were celebrated but there was a special place for cinema, OTT, and poetry in the film industry.

Where big film stars like Nawazuddin Siddiqui shared his experience with his role in Ganges of Wassepur, an actor has never shied away from experimenting with his roles in films, and he has been successful in bowling the audience over each time. On the other hand, Shweta Tripathi represents OTT. A versatile actor who is known for her challenging roles.

Bollywood poets Yatindra Mishra and Rahul Rawail remembered the old days of Bollywood when songs had their own meanings and added meaning to storylines.

Answering the question of which film established Nawaaz as an actor he said I feel all films change your life in some way. However, if I had to pick one, I would say ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ changed my career completely.

Talking about how Indian cinema is seen internationally, Mr. Siddiqui said there is a long way to go, and it’s not like we lack talent, but the thing is, those who have money don’t want to work on meaningful cinema and those who want to work on such cinema lack funding.
