India’s National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) is stepping into the spotlight with big plans to push Indian cinema onto the global stage. As it celebrates 50 years, the government-backed agency is going all-in on digital upgrades—think AI-powered film restoration and deals with major streaming platforms—to make sure the world sees more of India’s rich film culture. Led by new managing director Prakash Magdum, this could be a game-changer for how international audiences discover Bollywood and beyond.
Editor’s Note: Indian cinema has long been a powerhouse, but it’s often struggled to break through globally outside of niche audiences. If the NFDC’s tech-driven strategy works, it could mean more Indian films reaching wider audiences, preserving classics, and maybe even reshaping how streaming platforms curate world cinema. For film buffs, it’s an exciting step toward bridging the gap between local storytelling and global viewership.
