Major Awards: Big Wins and Surprises

The Best Film trophy went to Laapataa Ladies, while Kiran Rao bagged the Best Director award for her nuanced storytelling.

The Best Actor (Male) award had a twist — Abhishek Bachchan (I Want To Talk) and Kartik Aaryan (Chandu Champion) shared the honour. It’s rare but refreshing to see two actors celebrated for very different performances in the same category.

On the women’s side, Alia Bhatt took home Best Actress for her powerful role in Jigra. She walked on stage with her usual grace, but you could see genuine emotion in her eyes.

In the Critics’ Awards, Rajkummar Rao won Best Actor (Male) for Srikanth, while Pratibha Rannta from Laapataa Ladies took the female honour — a moment that had many in the crowd tearing up. She’s a newcomer, and this was a big, big moment for her.
