Film Critics Circle of India
Film Critics Circle of India (FCCI) is a society comprising notable film critics, film journalists, film book authors, and film historians from all the major film producing states of India. Prior to the first AGM, conducted at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in 2013, Subhash Ghai quoted from an Oscar manual, "You are in a highly responsible profession. You have the responsibility to look into the growth of civilization and of the next generation. We filmmakers look upon you as God. So guide us in your reviews, tell us where we lack, and how we can improve. But do not mock us. Creative people are extra sensitive, so talk like a mother, not like an opponent."
