If Page 3 is the Best film made in India last year then who takes credit for it,obviously the director right?

Then automatically Madhur should be given the Best director award.

How can you tell him "your film is the best but you are not responsible for it".

Similarly if Buddhadev was the Best director last year,so should be his film.

I don't get the logic.

[SergeyMaikov]

I guess raincoat was not considered for this awards.. this year..

[Onervemurce]

BTW, who were the contenders from south of the Vindhyas in the important categories?

Don't know, but looks like Vidyasagar has bagged the best MD award for K.Vishwanath's "Swarnabhishekam'.Autograph along with Veer Zaara( )has the 'Best Entertainment film'award though I fail to understand what was so entertaining in both the movies.

Autograph was good but left you with a heavy heart,it's not what you call "entertainment" while Veer zaara was looooooooooooong&boring.

Udit is Best Playback(Male)for Yeh tara(Swades)&Bose is the best patriotic(?)film.Swades has got some technical awards,I think.

None of the websites are carrying the entire list still.

Ya rite..and that deserves a national award ???!!!

I will not agree that hes an actor of that calibre.He has long ways to go yet.
There are movies and then there are movies .In IMHO HumTum falls in the first category.

[bahrain41]

Come on Hydrabadi...say truthfully do you think he deserves a national award? Irrespective of the category what was the great thing he achieved in humtum ??Didnt his acting remind you of his character in the evergreen Dil Chahta hai? Was his acting so great that you held on to your seat and couldnt let go?
Yes he is a good actor who has improved quite a bit since his Parampara days but I def dont think it deserves a national award.

its hard to say...it depends on what the criteria they use to nominees is.

[teergoBissono]

Well Cinefan, I couldn't just justify that, but i can put forth another analogy to counter it.
A film which deserves the best story award may not necessarily deserve the best screenplay award and vice versa , though this ananlogy mite sound inane or obvious compared 2 ur one .
Anyway, I don't think the best film's director should deserve the best director award

[Bridgester]

Logically should not the director of the Best film also get the best director award?

Not really

[ClaudeMarkus]

cinefan,
sometimes direction may be so good.but the story and screenplay may not be so good to give best film award.
sometimes the film may be extra-orninary.but the direction may not be great.

for eg:iyarkai is a nice film overall.good story,screenplay,music,photography,direction.but how can u give best director for him...its not extraordinary.only best film award can be given

Here's a more comprehensive list-doesn't mention best MD&best Tamil,telugu....... films.

Chitra is Best playback(Female)for 'Ovvuru pookkalume-Autograph'.

Pa.Vijay is best lyricist-Autograph

[Rellshare]

entirely agree.

There are so many aspects to film eg.editing,cinematography,acting,directing etc etc
The best director award goes to a person who did his job(directing) well..which would be visible in the way the actors potray their characters,flow of the movie etc etc.

The best film award should go to a movie which is good overall and there are not too many flaws in the entire movie not just in acting or direction.

This is what I think is the basis of having these 2 seperate categories ..ofcourse it has nothing todo with the announced national awards which according to me is a huge joke.
Saif ali khan best actor Saif Ali Khan is not a bad actor at all. He has improved greatly since his older films and he was very good in Hum Tum and Kal Ho Na Ho.
