Rani Mukherjee bags prestigious National award for best actress for her role in
-- 'Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway'.
Shahrukh Khan has to share the honour with Vikram Massey
'The Kerala Story' bagged the coveted awards for Best Director for Sudipto Sen and Best Cinematography for Prasanthanu Mohapatra at the 71st National Film Awards.
The film on Love Jihad weaved around a plot detailing the alleged 'religious conversion' of women in Kerala and recruiting them for terrorist outfit ISIS.
The Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting made the announcement to this effect on Friday.
The communists and the Sickular establishment were never comfortable with the film or such plots.
"By honouring a film that spreads blatant misinformation with the clear intent of tarnishing Kerala’s image and sowing seeds of communal hatred, the jury of the #NationalFilmAwards has lent legitimacy to a narrative rooted in the divisive ideology of the Sangh Parivar," Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan wrote in a post on X.
Congress MP from Kerala's Alappuzha, KC Venugopal, echoed Vijayan's views about the honour the movie was bestowed upon and said that since it took forward "a rotten agenda", it must be "discarded to a dustbin", claiming it maligns the state and its culture.
The Kerala Story created ripples across the political spectrum in 2023 as it claimed cases of "Love Jihad" (religious conversion) were rampant in the state and women were being sent to countries like Iraq and Syria to join ISIS.
