Marathi Filmmakers Urged to Prioritize Cultural Values
Imagine a big movie party in India!
At this party, actor Gashmeer Mahajani told filmmakers in the Marathi language to make movies that show off their own culture.
He thinks it would be super cool if they did that instead of copying other movies.
Other people at the party talked about how important it is to tell new kinds of stories and to use creativity, even with new technologies like AI.
Some folks said making movies can be tricky, like writing songs that have a lot of meaning in a short amount of time.
It's also important for creative people to work together nicely and to not let disagreements get in the way of making something amazing.

The 6th Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF) was held in Pune.
