History

Zee Cine Award

The awards were inaugurated in 1998 and unlike the Oscars are a mixture of categories decided on by public votes, as well as categories solely judged by an industry jury. The venue was none other than the hub of Indian cinema, Mumbai.

Change of sponsors-

  • 2006 - LIC Zee Cine Awards
  • 2005 - Sunfeast Zee Cine Awards
  • 2004 - Pan Parag Zee Cine Awards
  • 2002-2003 - Fair View Zee Cine Awards
  • 1998-2001 - Lux Zee Cine Awards

The organization took a bigger step forward and went international in 2004 by holding the award ceremony in Dubai. In 2005, Zee Cine Awards went to London and 2006 is taking ZCA to Mauritius, the hub of Asian Glamour and Lifestyle.

The trophies are another distinctive feature of the awards, because of the quality of their Australian craftsmanship. Each trophy is 24 carat (100 %) gold plated.

Award Categories
