The inaugural Indian National Cine Academy (INCA) Awards 2026 turned Mumbai into a high-fashion event, with actors Rana Daggubati and Dulquer Salmaan making memorable appearances. Rana Daggubati showcased a custom bandhgala by Anamika Khanna, crafted from fine pure wool, emphasizing a 'less is more' philosophy with its sharp tailoring and artisanal buttons. In contrast, Dulquer Salmaan embraced a bold aesthetic with a metallic pixelated kurta set by Amit Aggarwal, featuring rich velvet and fluid satin crepe pants that added movement and a futuristic touch to traditional attire. The awards recognized excellence in Indian cinema across 12 languages, with Ranveer Singh winning Best Actor for *Dhurandhar* and Yami Gautam Dhar taking home Best Actress for *Haq*. The event also honored Aditya Dhar as Best Director and awarded Best Film to *Chhaava* from Maddock Films, while Naga Chaitanya won Best Actor (Telugu) for his performance in *Thandel*.
