Popcorn Flicks adapts James Cameron's now famous quote on film-making. We are India's
only production-house to produce films in a variety of budgets, formats,
and genres, ranging from guerrilla feature films to conventional
feature films and filmed content. Award-winning filmmaker Amit
R Agarwal, is the founder & CEO of Popcorn Flicks. Agarwal's notable awards and achievements include
- Karmaveer Chakra Award 2021 instituted by iCONGO in partnership with the United Nations
- Lord Baden-Powell National Award 2020
- Invited as Guest of Honor to Producers' Network, Marche du Film ONLINE 2020, Cannes Film Festival
- Screening at the legendary Village East Cinemas, New York, USA
Agarwal innovated the concept of 'smart filmmaking' as technology has made everyone a filmmaker. This innovation led to the founding of Popcorn Flicks; idea being, filmed content should be a blend of
creativity, commercial viability, entertainment and salability. This led
us to create ground-breaking unconventional content since 2007.

Popcorn Flicks won international acclaim

Popcorn Flicks works under two verticals. Cinema For Cause vertical:
Covid-19 pandemic made Agarwal introspect and retrospect. He realized
the power of cinema to bring a positive change to the society. The
Impact-Mission films made are

- Honey Kapoor Origins
- World's 1st Remote Filmed Hybrid feature film, also, Asia-Africa's
1st Mental Health Awareness feature film. The film is now part of "Honey
Kapoor" franchise.
The
impact and success of these films is that audiences from UK &
