The 54th National Film Awards for the year 2006 were announced on Tuesday at Sashtri Bhavan in New Delhi.
Priyanandan's Malayalam film Pulijanmam, which stars Murali, bagged the award for the Best Film while Bollywood director Rajkumar Hirani's Lage Raho Munnabhai was adjudged the Best Popular Film providing wholesome entertainment.
Director Madhur Bhandarkar won the Best Director award for his film Traffic Signal.
Best Hindi Film went to debutant director Dibakar Bannerjee’s hit film Khosla Ka Ghosla.
Tamil actress Priyamani won the Best Actress award for her performance in Ameer Sulthan's Paruthiveeran and Bengali actor Soumitra Chatterjee, who declined the Special Jury award in 2001 following a controversy about a partisan jury, won the Best Actor award for his role in Suman Ghosh's Podokkhep.
Soon after the awards ceremony, jury member and filmmaker Rahul Dholakia spoke to CNN-IBN about the many controversies that have been plaguing the National Film Awards.
“There are always some favourites, but the majority has ensured that no agenda is pushed through. I am very happy that the lines between art cinema and commercial cinema has blurred and we are talking about good and bad cinema,” he said.
