The same can be said about Haider too!...Haider was perceived as showing mainly the Muslim point of view in Kashmir!...and it did not get the main National awards..of actor or director or film!...
Have you seen the movies which won Best Director or Best Actor to pass the judgement that Haider was more deserving? Haider may have been very good but it cant win in every category. National Award considers cinema of all languages and dont dismiss their quality so lightly. Infact 5 national awards for one movie is a great achievement in itself and very few Bollywood movies have got that. So Haider was in no way ignored.
