Film Critics Circle of India (FCCI) is a body of notable film -critics, -essayists, -academicians, and -book-authors from all the major film producing states of India. In addition to conferring an annual award for the best film, FCCI also sets up panel discussions and confers awards at film festivals.
Prior to the AGM in 2013, Subhash Ghai quoted from the Hollywood manual while addressing FCCI members: “You are in a highly responsible profession. You have the responsibility to look into the growth of civilization and of the next generation. We filmmakers look upon you as God. So guide us in your reviews, tell us where we lack, and how we can improve. But do not mock us. Creative people are extra sensitive, so talk like a mother, not like an opponent.”
