In his remarks, Shahrukh Khan said, “this premier event is a pride of the nation.” Recognizing the contribution of the ordinary man in raising the popularity of cinema, he said “let’s dedicate 38th IFFI to ordinary people.” Shah Rukh further said, “Cinema provides people independence from loneliness and a perceived bond with the celluloid characters. This enlivens the dreams and a course to look up to. Through the medium of cinema we try to reach out to others crossing cultural barriers.”
