Aamir Khan is set to hoist the Indian national flag at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2025 this August, as part of the festival's annual Independence Day celebration. Every year, this moment stands out as one of the most heartfelt highlights of the festival as it brings together culture, identity, and cinema. Supported by the Government of Victoria, IFFM is the largest Indian film festival held outside India. The flag hoisting ceremony holds deep emotional meaning, especially for the Indian diaspora and for people who feel connected to Indian culture through cinema.
