On the occasion of the 156th birth anniversary of Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian film industry, a grand award ceremony is being organized by the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation. The tradition of honoring the best artists and technicians of the film industry with the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Award has been going on for many years. The main objective of this award to be held this year on 3 May 2025 at Mukesh Patel Auditorium in Mumbai is to appreciate the work of the behind-the-scenes technicians, laborers and artists like dancers, junior artists, fighters and encourage them by giving them the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Award.
Every year many well-known stars and veterans of the film industry participate in this program by contributing.
32 associations of the film world nominate their most deserving members for this award and recommend them to the foundation. Around 75 awards will be distributed to film, TV serial, web series stars, singers and producer directors in the presence of the chief guest and around 2000 Bollywood personalities.
Foundation President Mr. Ashfaq Khopekar, Senior Vice President Babu Bhai Thiba and Vice President Ashok Shekhar and Vice President Vasudha Pandya have taken charge of this program. Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Award is actually a mission. Around 5 lakh members of more than 32 associations of the film world by bringing them together under one ideology. This is to set an example in the world by bringing everyone from spot boy to superstar on one platform forgetting the difference between big and small.
Ashfaq Khopekar says that it is unfortunate that some unsuccessful film and non-film people who have taken over the association with the help of some selfish people of the association can stop it for a few days by creating obstacles in the completion of this mission but cannot end it. People are taking advantage by getting awards done by making similar names of Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Award. Members of the film world have to struggle for work till their last breath. No government scheme is applicable to the people of the film industry while entertainment is the only industry which pays huge amount of tax to the government. In such a situation, the people of the industry have no support except their own organization, but now many film associations have been taken over by anti-social elements and the government and the bigwigs of the industry are silent. Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation is not limited to just awards but has been formed with the purpose of serving the people of the film industry and fighting for their rights. The next step of the foundation is to start medical help for the members and education help and housing scheme for their children soon.
With the hard work and dedication of the foundation’s president Ashfaq Khopekar and senior vice president Babu Bhai Thiba, the workers, technicians, artists, journalists and producers of the film industry have been able to gather at one place for many years through this work.
