History
The first awards were presented in 2000 at The Millennium Dome in London, United Kingdom. From then onwards, the awards are
held at locations around the world signifying the international success of Bollywood. Since 2000, the event has expanded from a one-
night event to a three-day celebration, hosting various events and activities relating to the Indian film industry.[3]

These awards honour films from the previous calendar year. Amitabh Bachchan is the Brand Ambassador of the IIFA since its
inception. In its 10th year (2009), five special awards were introduced: Star of the Decade (Male and Female), Movie of the Decade,
Music of the Decade, and Director of the Decade.[4]
