Kolkata Shines as Filmfare Hosts Its First-Ever Glamour & Style Edition in Bengal
Kolkata, May 6 — In a glittering evening that blended elegance with Eastern charisma, the Joy Filmfare Glamour & Style Awards West Bengal 2025 made its grand debut in Kolkata at the luxurious JW Marriott hotel. This marked the first time Filmfare brought its fashion-forward, star-studded format exclusively to celebrate the style icons of Bengali cinema and culture.
Red Carpet Radiance and Cultural Pride
The who’s who of Tollywood graced the red carpet, from celebrated actors to music composers and fashion designers. With traditional sarees, Indo-western fusion, and experimental couture making bold statements, the night reflected Bengal’s unique blend of heritage and trendsetting flair.
Filmfare’s East India edition is part of a broader initiative to decentralize the mainstream Bollywood narrative and recognize regional excellence — both in film and fashion.

🏆 Fit and Fabulous (Female) – Paoli Dam

🏆 Most Glamorous Youth Icon (Male) – Vikram Chatterjee
Each winner was recognized not just for red carpet appearances but also for their influence in fashion, fitness, and social causes.
Tributes and Performances Add Heart to Glamour
The evening was not just about awards — it also featured a tribute to Bengal’s rich cinematic legacy. A musical performance by Iman Chakraborty and a dance fusion piece choreographed around Satyajit Ray’s classics added an emotional undertone to an otherwise dazzling night.
A Cultural Milestone for Bengal’s Film Industry
Speaking at the event, Filmfare editor Jitesh Pillai said,
“Kolkata has always been the cultural heart of India. With this new edition, we’re proud to bring Bengal’s glamour into national spotlight. The stories, the fashion, the spirit — it’s unmatched.”
The event received overwhelming appreciation from industry insiders and audiences alike, with hashtags like #FilmfareBengal2025 and #TollywoodStyle trending on regional social media platforms.
