Overview

This committee simulates the ecosystem of the Indian film industry, spanning Bollywood and regional cinema such as Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Bengali film, alongside production houses, streaming platforms, and regulatory bodies like the Central Board of Film Certification. Delegates represent producers, directors, studio heads, and industry associations negotiating commercial, creative, and regulatory challenges. Key debates include content certification and creative freedom, the rise of OTT platforms, and piracy. The committee also explores the global expansion and soft-power potential of Indian cinema. It offers a fresh, industry-driven alternative to traditional state-based diplomacy.
