Government working on new national film policy
NEW DELHI: The Government is planning to set up a committee to suggest a policy framework for the development of the film industry.
This plan, however, is at a nascent stage, Information and Broadcasting Ministry sources tell Indiantelevision.com.
The last major report was the Working Group on National Film Policy 1980, headed by KS Karanth, which was largely ignored.
The present laws relating to cinema including the Cinematograph Act 1952 are based in the Film Enquiry Committee 1951 (also known as the Patil Committee Report).
Even the first ever such report – The Indian Cinematograph Committee (1927-28) – was largely ignored by the British government.
However, the State Information Ministers Conference (SIMCON) held from time to time has taken some decisions, though these have seldom been implemented.

MUMBAI: Bollywood’s popularity contest has a new weekly scorecard, and the numbers are telling. IMDb’s Popular Indian Celebrities list for this week places Shanaya Kapoor at number six, buoyed by buzz around her film Tu Yaa Main. Naila Grrewal slots in at seven on the back of the returning comedy series Maamla Legal Hai, while Rashmika Mandanna climbs to eighth, riding mounting anticipation for Cocktail 2.
The list, available exclusively on the IMDb app for Android and iOS, tracks trending Indian entertainers and filmmakers each week, drawing on data from more than 200m monthly visits to the platform worldwide.
Further down the rankings, Raaka is keeping two of its biggest names in the spotlight. Deepika Padukone holds 11th position, with Allu Arjun close behind at 13th, as the film continues to find traction with audiences.
The list offers fans a weekly pulse on who is breaking through, who is holding steady, and who is fading. It is a barometer as unsparing as the box office itself.
