Yes, its confirmed. The rumours have been floating around for since last few hours. And its all true.
Prakash Raj has bagged the National Award for Best Actor for his performance in Priyadarshan’s film Kanchivaram. Atleast this one should be non controversial. Its a truly deserving one. I remember watching it at the Mumbai premeire of the film. And since then, I cant remember anything so powerful and so moving. Its just stunning!
In the film, Prakash Raj plays the role of a weaver who dreams about a silk saree for his daughter’s marriage. What looks like a simple dream is much more complex than one can imagine. Money, politics, unions, the problems never end.
The acting is so powerful that the young and the old Prakash Raj seem to be two different actors. If you havent seen it yet, do watch. If for nothing else, just for the acting! Happy to hear this news about Prakash Raj, his third National Award! More power to actors like him!
BTW, rumours doing the round suggests that Priyadarshan has also bagged the National Award for Best Director and the film Kanchivaram will get it for Best Film.
Update : Gandhi My Father has also bagged three awars. Best Film ( Prdoucer – Anil Kapoor. Am guessing this one is the hindi language category), Feroze Abbas Khan ( Best Screenplay) and Darshan Zariwalla (Best Supporting Actor).
F.i.g.h.t C.l.u.b 
He is a darn good actors, a rarity these days! Can we go ahead and nominate this movie for our Oscar race or are we going to stick with yet another big movie that never actually got it right?!?
Why did Aamir Khan win no award for TZP.
Either as an actor, director or a producer, he should have atleast gotten one National Award for Taare Zameen Par.
He truly deserved it, man. But no national award for him.
National awards suck !!! for me and for Aamir.
kidhar hai full list?
or is this inside news?
