Desi ChalChitra Mehfil, a pioneering initiative in the world of cinema, was born from a simple yet wise idea – to acknowledge and celebrate the invaluable contributions of the often-overlooked heroes behind the scenes. In an industry where actors, producers, and directors often take the spotlight, from the set designers, assistants, and the entire film crew who are the backbone that brings cinematic magic to life.

One of the standout features of Desi ChalChitra Mehfil is its unwavering focus on acknowledging the often underappreciated roles like Assistant Directors (ADs), Set Designers, Set Production Assistants (PAs), Assistant Camera, Line Producers, and the broader film crew.

They are the unsung heroes, the silent maestros who transform vision into reality.

Desi ChalChitra Mehfil is more than an award function; it’s a movement that champions inclusivity, recognizing that every role in the film industry, no matter how small, plays an indispensable part in the creation of cinematic masterpieces. By placing the spotlight on ADs, set designers, DOPs, and the entire film crew, Desi ChalChitra Mehfil is rewriting the narrative, ensuring that every artist’s contribution is duly appreciated and celebrated.
