Speaking about the films received by now, one of the key members of the organizing committee Devashish Mishra said that they have received many international entries and have also received entries from even Spain, UK, USA and the like. “On the Indian front, we have received entries that also have Bollywood celebs including Parineeti Chopra and Manjot Singh as well as a few have Television celebs in it and will be sure fun to watch. Not only Hindi, but we have received in many regional language films as well,” Devashish said.

Speaking about the festival, Mr. Thapa says: "We hereby extend a warm welcome to all filmmakers to be a part of this initiative and make your presence here, irrespective whether your films have been selected or not. And I would like to thank you all of you in advance for making a point to be here for the festival."
