69th National Film Awards 2023: Fans Express DISAPPOINTMENT As Suriya’s 'Jai Bhim' Gets IGNORED; Says, ‘More Deserving Than Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2’ (Read Tweets)
While the recognition of popular choices like Allu Arjun, Alia Bhatt, and 'RRR' is celebrated by some, others are disappointed that films such as 'Jai Bhim,' 'Karnan,' and 'Sarpatta Parambarai,' which tackled caste politics, were overlooked.
The announcement of the winners for the 69th National Film Awards took place on August 24. Films that gained critical acclaim, like 'Jai Bhim,' 'Karnan,' and 'Sarpatta Parambarai,' were notably absent from the list of awardees.
The recently declared 69th National Film Awards showcased a significant presence of Telugu cinema, with films like 'RRR' and 'Pushpa' securing a majority of the awards. Conversely, Tamil films, including Suriya's 'Jai Bhim,' Dhanush's 'Karnan,' Arya's 'Sarpatta Parambarai,' and Simbu's 'Maanaadu,' along with Malayalam films like Joju George's 'Nayattu' and Tovino Thomas's 'Minnal Murali,' did not receive the anticipated recognition. Frustrated fans expressed their discontent on social media platforms.
