These awards are runned by the Film Critics Guild and Motion Content Group

Awards ceremony on April 21st

Is this the awards organization Anupama Chopra was talking about starting the year half the awards were announced before Dangal even released? She said she was working on something more credible and without the influence of big studios. I'm not sure she accomplished that?

Glad to see Tumbadd receive these many nominations. It was miles ahead of andhadun in every department including screenplay but has been shoved to the side.

^ Maybe I'm used to how Hollywood does things but when I'm thinking critically acclaimed it also includes small low budget movies that didn't necessarily make money. Sometimes you don't even recognize the artists since they are not big stars. There is a joke about Oscars' best pictures nominees and how most people haven't even heard of those movies. A good chunk of them don't even get a wide release.

I mean, surely there was one or two Hindi movies with lesser known cast and crew that had a stronger content and quality than a Raazi or Padmavat in 2018. This is supposed to be the CRITICS' awards after all.

Bravo! What a fine nominations list.

Padmaavati not making best actress list
🤣

How is Rani not there ? HOW

So happy to see the music of Laila Majnu being recognized. Literally all of its album songs are gems <3
