The program aims to present "Emotion in Colour: A Kaleidoscope of Indian Cinema," and will explore the evolution of colour in Indian cinema and its role in shaping visual storytelling and emotional resonance. It also aims to show the diversity in Indian cinema.

While speaking about it, Shivendra Singh Dungarpur stated, "In India, color is inextricably woven into the fabric of our culture and artistry, and this is profoundly evident in our cinema. When the Academy Museum invited me to curate a program of Indian films, I saw a rare opportunity to present the unparalleled diversity and vibrancy of Indian cinema in color to a largely unfamiliar audience."

He added, "Beyond Hindi cinema, India boasts five major film industries--Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Bengali--that collectively produce over 2,000 films annually, alongside a multitude of productions in other languages and dialects from every corner of the country. These twelve films are more than just a celebration of cinematic artistry; they are a vivid mosaic of language, culture and color, offering audiences in Los Angeles a glimpse into the boundless kaleidoscope of Indian cinema."
