The Dehradun International Film Festival organised by mr. Rajesh Sharma, has grown a lot over time. It is one of the top ones in North India now. About ten years back, it started small. Today, it pulls in regional films and big mainstream ones together. In this Film Festival, the glamour from Bollywood, plus themes that matter socially were seen. Regional tales fit right in too. That keeps it fun but also worth thinking about. This 2025 festival showed Dehradun turning into a spot for creators and artists. Stars like Jashn Agnihotri add their own spark to events like this. In a way, it pulls art closer to everyday people.
