Instituted by The Indian Express Group, the Chetak Screen Awards recognise art purely on merit, integrity and peer respect. This is why both nominees and winners were selected by the Screen Academy, an independent, not-for-profit body comprising 53 acclaimed filmmakers, artistes and cultural voices.
Some of the Screen Academy members included 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.
The process of selecting nominees began with an initial shortlisting, after which the Screen Academy evaluated the films through voting. 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, played a major role as she developed a detailed rubric for Academy members to follow while scoring.
