Pride of Telugu cinema, ‘Baahubali’ has won the Best Film award at the just announced 63rd National Film Awards.
After smashing Box Office records and setting the name of Tollywood very high on the map of Indian cinema, Baahubali has garnered the best film trophy. It may be noted that Shankarabharanam was the last Telugu Film to receive Best Film Jury Award.
Bollywood Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has won the Best Actor award for his impeccable performance in cult hit ‘Piku’. Kangana Ranaut has won the Best Actress trophy for her performance in critical and commercial blockbuster film ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns.”
Acclaimed director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has won the Best Director trophy for making the magnum opus ‘Bajirao Mastani’ starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra.
The list of major winners:
Best Film: ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’
Best Director: Sanjay Leela Bhansali for ‘Bajirao Mastani’
Best actress: Kangana Ranaut for ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’
Best actor: Amitabh Bachchan for ‘Piku’
With some acclaimed films hitting the silver screen last year, it was a difficult task for the jury to decide the best.
