irrespective of whether Devgan deserved the award, the chair of the jury is Prakash Jha who's currently also directing him in GANGAJAL which may or may not be a coincidence !!! :oh:

This AJAY thing is EXTREMELY OVERATED! IMHO..He was, OK>.Just normal, CHOR ACTION in QAYAMAT..nothing GREAT!!
It is GARDEN VARIETY AVERAGE AJAY ACTION..IMHO

NATIONAL..for ZAKHM was OVERATED!! The LITTLE KID, who portrayed YOUNG AJAY..DESERVED it, or POOJA BHATT!! If u ask me!!

He was OK, in LOBS..but not Worth NATIONAL..

Same for ANIL, in PUKAR and RAVEENA in DAMAN!!

THIS is again, ALL POLITICAL>>

Raveena was better in SATTA!! but no NATIONAL>> :baaa:

The Best Actor category slot for The National Awards is loosing its creditability. Anil Kapoor won for Pukar when the Judges hadn't even seen film. And now, Ajay Devgan win for a performance that wasn't anything extraordinary and for a matter of its reputation; grossly overrated. It would have been more justified to give it to him for Company or say Madhavan's utterly subtle performance in Kannathil Muthamittal.

Adoor flays Jha over Devgan award

George Iype in Kochi and Syed Firdaus Ashraf in Mumbai | July 31, 2003 16:17 IST


The National Film Awards have landed in controversy yet again.

After last year's ruckus involving Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon, it is director Adoor Gopalakrishnan's turn to now raise queries about the conduct of the awards.

Gopalakrishnan believes it was "improper and immoral" for director Prakash Jha to head the National Films Awards jury because the best actor award was given to Bollywood star Ajay Devgan, who is acting in Jha's film Gangajal.

Devgan was adjudged best actor for his performance in Rajkumar Santoshi's Legend of Bhagat Singh.

Jha headed the 23-member jury whose other members were M M Alex, K S L Swamae, film historian S Theodore Bhaskaran, Kiran Ghai, actor Mukesh Khanna, Biju Vishwanath, Manoj Tiwari, Shyama Prasad, filmmaker Arun Kaul, Nasir Mohammad, Quraishi, Saibal Chatterjee, Amitabh Parashar, critic Swapan Mullick, Sreelekha Mukherjee, Biplab Ray Chaudhuri, Oriya film-maker Nirad Mahapatra, Mrinal Kanti Das, Zoobi Amar, actor Raza Murad, journalist Rauf Ahmed, actor Dinyar Contractor and Gautam Kaul, former police officer and film critic.

Jha's conduct as chairman of the National Film Awards jury was "against the very ethics of the jury," Gopalakrishnan, whose latest film Nizhalkoothu was adjudged the best Malayalam feature film at the National Film Awards, alleged.

According to the director, who headed the jury some years ago, jury members have to give an undertaking that they do not have any connection with the entries screened for the awards. "If Jha suppressed the fact, it amounts to a violation of the covenant and is immoral."

Gopalakrishnan said director Amol Palekar, who was to head the jury last year, did not take up the assignment because a film he had acted in was to be screened before the jury.

"You ask the director of the film festival. It is not my decision to get this post," Jha told rediff.com in response to Gopalakrishnan's allegations.

Refusing to discuss the controversy, the director of the well-received Damul said, "Keep the dignity and sanctity of the award. Let whatever Adoor says be published. I don't want to comment. For me the chapter is closed. Let us talk about something progressive. One week has passed since the awards were given. There are so many
things to do in life. We should move forward."

Konkona Sen Sharma was tremendously awesome! Her acting as a Tamil Iyer Brahmin was fantastic. Actually, I liked Rahul Bose as well in this movie - a very subtle performance. Sadly, he was not even mentioned. I hope this is the movie that makes it to the Oscars next year. Truly the one that deserves it so far.


Edited to say: What am I saying? If this movie was chosen for the National award, it means that it came out last year so it already missed the Oscars. Darn! I guess it will have to be Teen Deewarein then based on the hype on the movie.

The current buzz is that J.P. Dutta is trying his best to get LoC (Line of Control) sent to the Oscars. Considering the film's cast, budget, subject matter, I think it's the best bet. Other possibilities are Taj Mahal (epic like Devdas) or possibly Khakhee.
