THE 67TH WOLF777NEWS FILMFARE AWARDS 2022 WITH GOVERNMENT OF MAHARASHTRA, AZADI KA AMRIT MAHOTSAV, were held at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai on August 30. The event, which honoured the best talent in Hindi cinema, also highlighted Maharashtra's association with the film industry. The state partnered with the event as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. Devendra Fadnavis, the Deputy Chief Minister, Maharashtra and Sudhir Mungantiwar, the Minister of Cultural Affairs for the Maharashtra government, lit the ceremonial lamp to start the evening.
In his inaugural speech, the Deputy CM highlighted the fact that the present government will do all it can to make the film industry bigger and better than it is currently. "Mumbai is the entertainment and economic capital of India. We are very proud of our film industry. Main aisa maanta hoon ki jo hamara Bollywood hai usne duniya mein apni ek pehchaan banayi hai. (I am of the opinion that Bollywood has made a name for itself in the world). Regional film industries are also making a name for themselves.
Hamari Marathi film industry toh pehle se hi ek apni alag pehchan rakhti thi. Lekin aaj jis prakar se dakshin ki filmon ne hamare desh mein hungama machaya aur duniya mein ek naya chitra tyaar kiya hai, mujhe aisa lagta hai ki ek bahut hi naye daur se aaj hamari film industry guzar rahi hai.
(The Marathi film industry has also made a name for itself. Currently the films from South are also making their presence felt all over India and the world). This industry doesn't merely entertain, it creates employment and gives wings to dreams. We are working on creating policies that will make it easier to do business here. We hope to facilitate whatever the industry requires in various areas for its smooth functioning. The new government in Maharashtra is for everyone and for the film industry, too," he said in his speech.
