We just make them, and if our work is good enough, it gets recognition. Cinematographer-turned-director Chezhiyan, whose yet-to-be-theatrically-released drama film, To Let, was a lone winner, and secured the award for Best Tamil Film, said, “A filmmaker can’t make films expecting awards. Tamil cinema which has figured prominently in the awards list in recent years, having mainly won awards in the Best Feature Film and Best Director categories in the past, failed to impress the committee this year. Even now, when I sing the song at shows, I get the same feeling. The award isn’t mine it’s his! I remember how I had goosebumps when he played the tune to me at his studios. Singer Saashaa Tirupati, who won her first National Award for the song Vaan Varuvaan in Kaatru Veliyidai, said, “Rahman sir believed in me when nobody else did. I have always believed that a song can inspire a person, that music can stop violence,” the composer said. In a world filled with confusion, aggression, we are all triggered by many negative emotions, and it’s poetry and music that can take people back to sanity. “I think the importance of the role played by a musician/ poet has to increase now. His last National Award was also for a Mani Ratnam film - Kannathil Muthamittal in 2003. It feels so surreal, I am extremely happy,” he said.ĪR Rahman won the awards for the Best Music Director (Kaatru Veliyidai) and Best Background Score (Mom). “I never expected national recognition, though I got good feedback for the lyrics. The only other award for the industry went to lyricist Prahalad, who bagged the Best Lyrics Award for his song Muthu Ratnada Pyate in the film, March 22. The very purpose of making this film was to create awareness at a national level,” said director Nanjunde Gowda.

“The film has a universal subject and is an educative film. Hebettu Ranakka, based on the political reservation of women, grabbed the award for the Best Kannada Film. It’s really exciting and the news is still sinking in.” As a team, we worked sincerely and tried to give our best for the film. We didn’t make Ghazi with an intention to win the award. The overjoyed filmmaker said, “I never expected this award. Debutant director Sankalp Reddy’s period war film, Ghazi Attack, secured the Best Telugu Film Award. The blockbuster Telugu film, Baahubali: The Conclusion, won three awards - Best Special Effects, Best Action Direction, and Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. I hope these awards will make things easier for our team in the future.” Malayalam actor Parvathy’s performance as a kidnapped nurse in Take-Off fetched her a special mention. I have to deliver the same level of quality with my next film too.” A visibly delighted Sajeev Pazhoor, the screenplay writer, said “It feels really great, considering the fact that this is a small film made with many limitations.

Dileesh Pothan, the director of Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum said, “It’s very encouraging.
