WAVES – World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit

Opening of the Indian Film Festival

Lisbon, January 03, 2025 – The Portugal-India Business Hub (PIBhub) participated in the Indian Film Festival, celebrating 50 years of diplomatic relations between India and Portugal.

This evening brought together distinguished guests and cinema enthusiasts at Cinema São Jorge, featuring an energetic Naatu Naatu performance, cultural showcases, inspiring speeches and the screening of the epic blockbuster RRR—a true reflection of the vibrant bond between Portugal and India.

We were honoured by the presence of H.E. Ambassador Puneet R. Kundal and H.E. Paulo Rangel, Minister of State and Foreign Affairs of Portugal, both of whom delivered inspiring addresses.

A special highlight was the vibrant Bollywood dance performance and the showreel of Indian movies filmed in Portugal, showcasing the stunning beauty of Portugal as a backdrop for Indian cinema and underscoring the growing cultural exchange between both nations.

PIBhub extends its heartfelt thanks to the Embassy of India for organising and hosting this memorable event.
