Aadu Jeevitham Unrecognized By National Awards Committee: Malayalam Audiences Angry
However, the 71st National Awards announcement left many speechless, as the public felt many movies that deserved awards were ignored.
Malayalam audiences are unhappy with the National Awards, as they did not give the award to Prithviraj for Aadu Jeevitham (completed censor in 2023) and gave the best actor award to Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan, a mass masala entertainer.
Even the other language audiences also feel that Prithiviraj deserves the award for his performance in The Goat Life. Leaving aside the best actor, the film did not receive an award in any category.
Every time the National Awards are announced, there will certainly be criticism, and even this time it has not changed.
