The National Film Awards is the most prestigious and one of India’s oldest award ceremonies. The Awards select the best of Indian cinema with particular focus on Indian art and culture. It began in 1954 and is currently run by the Directorate of Film Festivals which was established in 1973. Here is a collection of movies that have won the National Film Award in various categories.
We added a section for the Top 100 movies on Catchflix sometime back. But then we thought… why stop at 100? So we have now added a link for Next 100 on the Top 100 page. Click on this link to see the 101 to 200 most rented movies on Catchflix.
But then again… why stop at 200?!

A bunch of movie buffs are organizing Bangalore’s First Roof Top Film Festival on 7th July. So it will be 7 movies from 7 PM to 7 AM on 7-7-2007. Cool huh?
“Roof Top Film Festivals” are typically where people get together on somebody’s rooftop with a projector and a screen and watch movies which are not very popular in India or not released in multiplexes. These screenings are interspersed by independent film maker’s movies and discussions on the movies screened.
Catchflix is excited to be a part of this interesting event.

Did you see the cute little time ticker we have added that shows the hours and minutes left for you to order to get the DVD tomorrow? It is set to start showing at 12 Noon and till 4 PM, unless tomorrow is a Sunday.
We got the idea from Amazon.com ; ) They use it to tell you the time left to order if you want to get your stuff by some date – like before Father’s Day or something.
