Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) is set to bring the culture of LIVE awards back to screen as Chetak SCREEN Awards 2026 goes LIVE across Sony Entertainment Television (SET) and Sony LIV on 05th April 2026 at 8:00 PM IST.
Recognised as one of India’s most credible honours in cinema and storytelling, the Chetak SCREEN Awards celebrate excellence across Indian filmmaking while spotlighting the creative forces shaping the industry. This year’s edition will feature a star-studded event as we witness a powerhouse of hosts like Alia Bhatt, Farah Khan, Sunil Grover, Zakir Khan, bringing together the worlds of cinema, music, comedy, and pop culture all on one stage.
In a first for the property, the awards will be experienced live across linear television and the streaming platform underscoring SPNI’s content-first, platform-agnostic approach. The ceremony will air on SET and stream on Sony LIV, alongside a live broadcast on the SCREEN Awards’ YouTube channel, expanding its reach to a wider, digitally native audience and will also be available for audiences on 7th April 2026 on Sony Entertainment Television’s YouTube channel.
By leveraging the combined strength of its linear and digital ecosystem, SPNI aims to transform the awards into a high-impact, real-time cultural moment for its viewers—driving both scale and deeper audience engagement.
