Rushabhayan Short Film Competition

Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Filmmaking

Rushabhayan Short Film Competition invites filmmakers, students, storytellers and creative minds to bring timeless values to life through the power of cinema.
This competition is part of Rushabhayan 2.0, a grand cultural celebration honouring the first king "Rushabh" whose life, teachings, and compassion continue to inspire millions.

We believe great stories can come from anywhere whether shot on a DSLR, phone camera, or a full crew setup. What matters is your voice and your vision.
