A complimentary Indian film screening series with English subtitles is being held at Schwacks Cinema in Hulhumalé as part of the India Week celebrations, offering audiences an opportunity to experience popular Indian blockbuster cinema. The screenings are open to the public, with families and friends invited to attend.
The film series forms part of broader cultural engagement activities organised by the Indian Cultural Centre, which regularly conducts cultural programmes in the Maldives. These activities include film screenings, music and dance performances, yoga sessions, language classes, exhibitions, and workshops, aimed at promoting cultural exchange and people-to-people ties between the Maldives and India.
Over the years, the Indian Cultural Centre has organised numerous cultural programmes across Malé and other islands, facilitating exchanges between Maldivian and Indian artists and performers. Indian cinema has also been featured frequently in the Maldives through public screenings, festival programmes, and special cultural events, reflecting the strong local interest in Indian films and storytelling.
Cultural exchanges between the Maldives and India have remained an important pillar of bilateral relations, complementing cooperation in areas such as education, training, and people-to-people engagement. The India Week film screenings are expected to further strengthen these ties by bringing communities together through shared cultural experiences.
