Over the past six years, the Indic Film Utsav has established itself as a platform for meaningful, culturally rooted Indic storytelling, screening more than 350 films from across the world. The festival successfully evolved through four years as a pioneering OTT film festival and two years as a theatrical, in-person event in Dallas, USA.

The initiative now has two distinct festivals: INDICA Dallas Film Utsav – A three-day in-person theatrical festival held annually in Dallas, Texas. The upcoming edition will take place from November 13–15, 2026, at Galaxy Theatres, Dallas.

INDICA Heritage Film Utsav (Online) – A global online film festival dedicated to civilisational, cultural, and heritage-driven cinema. Designed as a 24/7 anytime-anywhere festival experience, the next edition will be held from March 11–14, 2027.
