IBPC Kuwait hosts special screening of Indian epic Ramayana
The Indian Business and Professional Council (IBPC), Kuwait, hosted a special screening of Ramayana at Grand Hamra Cinema as part of its annual Movie Day initiative, bringing together more than 200 guests, including prominent Kuwaiti personalities, ambassadors, diplomats, IBPC members and their families, for an evening celebrating Indian cinema, culture and friendship.
The film, based on the ancient Indian epic Valmiki Ramayana, presents one of India’s most treasured narratives, deeply rooted in the cultural and literary heritage of India and the wider Asian region. The Ramayana has influenced generations across Asia through literature, performing arts and traditions, reflecting timeless values of duty, righteousness, family, loyalty and sacrifice.
The screening offered guests an opportunity to experience this epic narrative through modern cinematic storytelling and advanced visual technology, bringing an important part of India’s cultural heritage to an international audience.
IBPC Secretary Sunit Arora welcomed the members and distinguished guests and introduced the evening’s screening. Chairman Gaurav Oberoi then addressed the gathering, highlighting the cultural significance of the Ramayana and appreciating the film’s presentation of the ancient Indian epic using world-class cinematic technology and visual effects.
He also emphasized the importance of such initiatives in promoting cultural understanding and strengthening friendship between the Indian and Kuwaiti communities.
The screening marked IBPC’s second annual Movie Day event, following the successful screening of Sitaare Zameen Par in 2025. Through this initiative, IBPC continues to create opportunities for its members, Kuwaiti friends and the diplomatic community to interact in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere while experiencing different aspects of Indian culture.
The event was organised by IBPC Secretary Sunit Arora, with the support of Treasurer Karthik Ramadoss and IBPC member Burhan. The reception of distinguished guests was handled by Vice Chairman Suresh K. P. and Joint Secretary Krishen Suryakanth.
Beyond business and professional networking, IBPC remains committed to strengthening people-to-people connections and fostering cultural understanding between India and Kuwait.
