Forest Frames by Dholakia Foundation

Where cinema plants its roots in nature.

In a world that celebrates moments, Filmfare chose to celebrate something timeless; life itself.

Through a green partnership with the Dholakia Foundation, 1,000 Peepal trees have been planted to create a living, breathing forest. Each tree carries a story of hope, action, and sustainability. Standing 5 to 6 feet tall, these saplings are the humble beginnings of a lush forest that will provide shade, shelter, and clean air for decades to come.

The Peepal Promise

The Peepal is one of India’s most sacred and enduring trees, known for its strength, purity, and the unique ability to produce oxygen both day and night. It is truly called the Tree of Life for a reason. By choosing the Peepal, Filmfare and the Dholakia Foundation are planting more than just trees. They are creating a legacy that nurtures the planet, supports biodiversity, and restores balance to the environment.

Planted with Purpose

The Dholakia Foundation team carefully prepared the site, nourished the soil, and planted each tree with deep intention. Regular maintenance ensures survival, while local caretakers watch over the forest as it grows.

1,000 trees = 1,000 living legacies
Native and resilient species
Long-term ecological benefits
Carbon capture and biodiversity boost

Together, We Grow

The Forest Frames reminds us that every story can end beautifully and begin again with nature. Each leaf is a symbol of continuity, each root a connection to the earth. Let us celebrate the creativity that sustains hearts and the trees that sustain life.
