A Celebration That Feels Bigger Than an Award Night:

The festival aims to honour personalities who have contributed to Punjabi cinema and music, while also encouraging emerging talent to dream bigger.
More Than Awards, A Shared Celebration:
One of the most interesting aspects of PEFA is its sense of togetherness.

The earlier editions of PEFA have brought together well-known names from Punjabi and Bollywood entertainment, underlining the event’s focus on celebrating the wider entertainment community.
