Marathi International Film and Theater Awards, Dubai 2010



The first ever Marathi International Film and Theatre Awards (MIFTA) will take place in Dubai on 17th December 2010.


MIFTA is the brainchild of actor-director Mahesh Manjrekar, who believes that it’s high time Marathi cinema also gets its due attention.


Some of the recent Marathi films such as Shwaas, Dombivili Fast, Harishchandrachi Factory and Lalbaug Parel etc. have been appreciated by people not just in Maharashtra but all over India, and hence it’s rather apt that the people associated with Marathi cinema also get due recognition through such a platform.


Popular Marathi stars such as Atul Kulkarni, Nana Patekar, Sachin Khedekar, Vikram Gokhale among others are expected to attend the MIFTA function in Dubai. However the highlight of the award function would be the presence of Salman Khan and Ektaa Kapoor.  Amitabh Bachchan is to be honoured at this gala event.
