Judges
Rajkumar Hirani
A graduate of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Raju segued into commercials before making it huge in movies as the director of three of India's most beloved films. 'Munna Bhai MBBS' is considered a classic, 'Lage Raho Munnabahi' is credited with re-popularizing Gandhism in India while '3 Idiots' became the highest grossing Hindi film in history. A hugely significant popular filmmaker, he has earned a reputation for comedies that explore strongly humanist themes with realistic characters that don't sell the audience short.


Mick Molloy
He revolutionized Australian drive-time radio, appeared on Kath & Kim, and was named Producer of the Year by the Screen Producers Association of Australia. He has been involved in seminal Australian projects such as Crackerjack, BoyTown and The D Generation. Currently presenting Channel Ten's Before The Game and Triple M's Breakfast Show, Mick is one of Australia's best-known broadcasters.


Kunal Kohli
He started out with directing shows on television and moved on to bigger things on big screen. Writer/director Kunal Kohli introduced Indian music videos to narrative, has directed three films for Yash Chopra, picked up awards for Fanaa and created his own production company. We're showing his new feature; epic time-hopping romance Teri Meri Kahaani, starring the impossibly good-looking Shahid Kapoor, and Priyanka Chopra.


Kabir Khan

He began his career as a documentary filmmaker travelling to over 60 countries making films. He won the prestigious National Award in 2006 for best New Director for ‘Kabul Express’. His second film, ‘New York’ (2009), met with critical acclaim all over the world. He has directed many award-winning documentaries that between them have won the Grand Jury Award at Film South Asia 2000, Best National Film Award at Mumbai Film Festival 2002 and several National Critics awards.
