The prestigious National Film Awards were established in 1954 and are administered by the Government of India’s Directorate of Film Festivals.

68th National Film Awards declared winners of 2020 in different categories, including Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, among others. The year 2020 also put regional content in the spotlight, with Suriya’s Soorarai Pottru and P. Virumaandi’s directorial debut Ka Pae Ranasingham winning hearts across the country.
Earlier today, a 10-member jury led by filmmaker Vipul Shah met the Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur and submitted their report on the 68th National Film Awards.
