RPSG Lifestyle Media Hosts The Honours Powered By The Hollywood Reporter India: The Evening in Pictures
The Honours event in Mumbai was an evening of celebration and unique cinematic crossovers.
The Honours — an RPSG Lifestyle Media property powered by The Hollywood Reporter India, saw an evening of celebration and camaraderie, and a showcase of Indian entertainment at its finest at the Four Seasons in Mumbai.
These awards were curated by the editorial team of The Hollywood Reporter India, which spent over six months watching, mulling, arguing and arriving at a list that honours teams — because storytelling is not one individual’s triumph.
The event was kicked off by Avarna Jain, Chairperson RPSG Lifestyle Media, who spoke about what The Honours represents.
While the event was a way to celebrate cinematic masterpieces such as Rishab Shetty’s Kannada drama Kantara: Chapter 1, Dominic Arun’s Malayalam actioner Lokah: Chapter 1 - Chandra, Neeraj Ghaywan’s moving friendship drama Homebound, Mohit Suri’s romance Saiyaara, and Mari Selvaraj’s sports drama Bison, it also led the way to a beautiful collision of worlds. The worlds of Chhaava, Ponman, and Lokah briefly collided in a moment with their lead actors.
Actors from several industries chatted away about their work and also humoured us with joyous picture moments.
The series awards went to Black Warrant (Netflix), Black White & Gray — Love Kills (Sony LIV), Khauf (Amazon Prime Video), Paatal Lok Season 2 (Amazon Prime Video), and The Ba***ds of Bollywood (Netflix).
Kareena Kapoor Khan was awarded The Honours Icon for her incredible contribution to the industry.
The actress was thrilled that she could be awarded in a room where filmmakers like Imtiaz Ali, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and Rajkumar Hirani, the collaborators of some of her finest films, were present.
The evening was fittingly brought to a close by Anupama Chopra, the editor of The Hollywood Reporter India, with a quote from the legendary Roger Ebert. “He famously said: Of all the arts, movies are the most powerful aid to empathy, and good ones make us into better people.’ At THR India, we believe that great storytelling can change the world. And hence, the Honours. Stay tuned for more.”
