About Chetak Screen Awards 2026
The Chetak Screen Awards, instituted by The Indian Express Group, stands among Indian cinema’s most respected honours, built on the belief that creative work should be recognised purely on merit. What sets the Chetak Screen Awards apart is the body responsible for selecting nominees and winners: the Screen Academy, an independent, not-for-profit body of 53 filmmakers, artistes, and cultural voices, who vote without interference or commercial influence.
The process itself was structured with care. After an initial shortlisting, Screen Academy members evaluated films using detailed grading guidelines developed by Dr Priya Jaikumar, Chair of Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, who also serves as scholar-in-residence at the Academy.
The membership reads like a cross-section of the best working minds in Indian cinema, including Shoojit Sircar, Deepa Mehta, Sriram Raghavan, Ram Madhvani, Guneet Monga Kapoor, John Abraham, Kabir Khan, Karan Johar, Mukesh Chhabra, Payal Kapadia, Prosenjit Chatterjee, RS Prasanna, Rajiv Menon, Rajkumar Hirani, Resul Pookutty, Rima Das, and Vidya Balan, among others.
