And who is responsable for that? Isn't the "National" Award part of politics since a certain time? Who exactly made this once prestigious award changing into "worst National awards"?

One of the comments I read reflect a part of my thinking about what the National Awards have become:

"One of the biggest drawbacks in this country has been the absence of a proper critical establishment for cinema, something that can set standards, influence discourse and properly give a spotlight. Letting govt be the entity to take up that space through NFDC or the National Awards or even film festivals may have worked for a while, but it’s fundamentally unsustainable." (emphasis mine)

This pic is an apt description of the farce that is going on when it comes to art.

There will always be sour grapes every year since their fav din win

A win is a win is a win

Live with it or burn

Fanaticism at it's full display.
