Kangana Ranaut, 28, who celebrated her birthday yesterday, got a belated present by winning her career’s second National award in the movie about a girl who goes on a foreign honeymoon alone after being ditched by her fiance just before marriage.
She had won her first National award, as best supporting actress, for “Fashion” in 2010.
The Vikas Bahl-directed coming-of-age film was also named the best Hindi feature film.
Vijay was declared the best actor for his poignant portrayal of a woman trapped in a man’s body in Kannada film ‘Nanu Avanalla Avalu’ (I am not a he, but she).
‘Court’, which focuses on the flaws in the Indian judicial system, has been winning critical acclaim nationally and
internationally. The award is expected to give a major boost to the movie ahead of its theatrical release on April 17.
Shahid Kapoor-starrer ‘Haider’, a Kashmir-set modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, won five honours. Its
helmer Vishal Bhardwaj was named the best music director but lost out the best director award to Bengali filmmaker Srijit Mukherji (‘Chotushkone’).
Bhardwaj was also named for best dialogues in the movie while Sukhwinder Singh clinched the best male playback singer for the song ‘Bismil’. Its other two wins were in the categories of choreography and costume design.
Priyanka Chopra-led biopic ‘Mary Kom’ was named the best popular film providing wholesome entertainment.
