National Film Awardees

Mithun Chakraborty will receive the Dadasaheb Phalke Award at the 70th National Film Awards

National Awards: The prizes were handed out to awardees by Vice President Venkaiah Naidu

Manoj Bajpayee said: "It's a good thing that when you get an honour nobody has raised objections against it"

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is contemplating to send the citations, medals and cheques to over 50 absentee awardees at the 65th National Film Awards this year, through post.

National Film Awards 2017: Apart from Akshay Kumar, other awardees included Dangal star Zaira Wasim who won Best Supporting Actress, Mohanlal who received the Jury Award, and Sonam Kapoor who was given a Special Mention for her work in Neerja

Filmmakers like Shyam Benegal, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, R Balki and first-timer Sanjay Puran Singh are a happy lot.
