Times Innovative Media is IFFI’s event management agency
MUMBAI: The Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) has selected Times Innovative Media as the event management agency for the 38th International Film Festival of India (Iffi) 2007, which starts from 23 November.
Times Innovative submitted a financial bid of over Rs 21.3 million, of which it claimed it would raise Rs 9 million through sponsorships.
The company has also produced bank guarantee of Rs 9 million. The ESG had also decided to register only 5,000 delegates for the festival depending upon the availability of seating capacity in consultation with the Directorate of Film Festivals (DFF), New Delhi.
The total number of delegates will be registered depending on the seating capacity available, ESG CEO Nandini Paliwal said. The two new theatres would be ready by 7 November.
She also said that the use of private theatres in Panjim was under consideration and that the DFF technical committee was yet to submit its report on feasibility of theatres.
For the first time, it has been also broadly agreed to introduce the concept of ticketing system for the delegates for entering the cinema halls to watch the movies to be screened during the festival so that there would not be any rush at the venues.
The delegates would be allowed to participate for three screenings per day and the media delegates could watch five screenings per day. However, they will have to do bookings in advance.

Dhurandhar returns to theatres worldwide on March 13 ahead of Dhurandhar The Revenge release
Jio Studios re-releases blockbuster across 500 screens globally before sequel
MUMBAI: The spy saga of Dhurandhar is gearing up for a big-screen encore before its next chapter arrives.
Ahead of the release of Dhurandhar The Revenge on March 19, Jio Studios and B62 Studios are bringing the original Dhurandhar back to cinemas worldwide in a rare international theatrical re-release.
The global blockbuster is returning across nearly 500 screens, including around 250 in India from March 12 and another 250 overseas beginning March 13.
For fans of the franchise, the move offers a chance to revisit the film that ignited the high-octane spy-action universe just days before the sequel lands in theatres. It also sets up a rare back-to-back big-screen experience, allowing audiences to relive the original before diving straight into the next chapter.
While re-releases of popular films are occasionally seen in India, international re-runs of Hindi films remain uncommon. The scale of the rollout reflects the growing global appetite for the franchise.
In North America alone, Dhurandhar will return to theatres across nearly 185 screens, highlighting the strong anticipation surrounding the upcoming sequel.
The excitement is set to build further with special Wednesday premiere shows of Dhurandhar The Revenge scheduled across the US and Canada on March 18, a day ahead of its global release. Many of these premieres will be hosted on premium large format screens, featuring wall-to-wall displays, immersive sound systems such as Dolby Atmos, enhanced projection and luxury seating.
These formats are typically reserved for major Hollywood event films, and early bookings suggest strong demand with several shows already sold out.
The recently released trailer of Dhurandhar The Revenge has also sparked buzz among exhibitors and trade circles, with expectations running high for the film’s international performance.
Dhurandhar The Revenge is written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar.
Jio Studios presents a B62 Studios production, an Aditya Dhar film.
The spy-action thriller will release worldwide on March 19, 2026, in five languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
The film arrives in theatres globally on the occasion of Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, just ahead of Eid, setting the stage for a festive box office run.
