About Chetak Screen Awards 2026
Instituted by The Indian Express Group, the Chetak Screen Awards recognise art solely on merit, integrity, and peer respect. The Screen Academy, an independent, not-for-profit body consisting of 53 acclaimed filmmakers, artistes and cultural voices, complemented the awards’ credibility by selecting the nominations and eventually, the winners.
This was achieved through structured voting after an initial shortlisting. Dr Priya Jaikumar, Chair of Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, Los Angeles, and scholar-in-residence at Screen Academy, came up with detailed grading guidelines for the members to facilitate the process.
The Screen Academy comprises filmmakers like Shoojit Sircar, Deepa Mehta, Sriram Raghavan, Ram Madhvani, Guneet Monga Kapoor, Kabir Khan, Karan Johar, Payal Kapadia, RS Prasanna, Rajiv Menon, Rajkumar Hirani and Rima Das; actors like John Abraham, Prosenjit Chatterjee, and Vidya Balan; casting director Mukesh Chhabra, and sound designer Resul Pookutty, among others.
