The festival is part of the Embassy’s broader efforts to promote cultural diplomacy and people-to-people ties between the two ancient civilizations.

This festival is not just a celebration of Indian cinema but also a reflection of the strong and growing cultural relationship between our two countries.

The Embassy of India in Cairo cordially invites all cinema enthusiasts to watch Indian Bollywood movies with Arabic subtitles. All film screenings are free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.

Join us for an unforgettable cinematic journey that bridges borders, builds understanding, and celebrates the shared love of storytelling. For further details, please contact the Maulana Azad Centre for Indian Culture (MACIC):
