The crowded auditorium at Nazrul Mancha waited with bated breath to take in the announcements on the awards bestowed in different categories for the Best Film in each category by the respective juries on November 21, 2015. The awards were announced by the two star anchors from Bollywood, namely, filmmaker Sujoy Dhar and actor Adil Hussain. Taboo was the Guest of Honour at the festival and she applauded the decision to award women filmmakers because women, she said, found obstacles in every step towards reaching their goal. Ministers and political leaders present who made brief speeches were Arup Biswas, Firhad Hakim and Subroto Mukherjee who proposed the vote of thanks while Atri Bhattacharya, Director General, KIFF, opened the programme.
