BAFTAs 2026: Manipuri “Boong”, Alia Bhatt’s Hindi Speech, Dharmendra Take Centre Stage | Spotlight

Описание: At the 79th BAFTA Film Awards, history was made for India as Boong, a Manipuri-language film, won Best Children’s and Family Film — the first Indian movie to claim the honour. Directed by Lakshmi-Priya Devi, the film follows a young boy searching for his missing father amid conflict in Manipur and previously premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Actor Alia Bhatt made her BAFTA debut as a presenter, while the ceremony also paid tribute to late global cinema icons. Though “One Battle After Another” dominated with six wins, Boong carved a powerful space for Northeast India on the world stage.
