Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva has emerged as a major winner at the 70th National Awards, announced on Friday. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Amitabh Bachchan, the sci-fi epic took home accolades in several categories. The film won Best Male Playback Singer for Arijit Singh's track ‘Kesariya,’ Best Film in AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects Gaming and Comic), and Best VFX Film. The awards were presented by a distinguished jury, including Rahul Rawail, Chairperson of the Feature Film Jury, Nila Madhab Panda, Chairperson of the Non-Feature Film Jury, and Gangadhar Mudalair, Chairperson of the Best Writing on Cinema Jury.
Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva is the first part in his trilogy. Mouni Roy and Nagarjuna Akkineni also star in the film. Fans and critics alike liked the film. The developers are currently working on the next two portions: Brahmastra Part 2 in 2026 and Brahmastra Part 3 in 2007.
Speaking on Brahmastra's multiple honours, Namit Malhotra, Founder - Prime Focus Limited, CEO - DNEG, said, "Winning the National Award for Best VFX Film for Brahmastra is a historic milestone that elevates the Indian VFX industry to new heights, globally. I am immensely proud of our team's groundbreaking work in bringing Ayan Mukerji's vision to life, resulting in this incredible recognition. Brahmastra represents a quantum leap in visual storytelling, and this award is a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence by teams at DNEG and ReDefine."
The actor had revealed it during an interview with trade analyst Komal Nahta. He said, “Aapne jo prashna pucha ki maine kuch charge kiya ya nahi kiya, actually maine kiya (You asked if I charged anything or not, actually I did). This is an equity I have for life, I'm also part producer of the film. Meri nazariya aur soch long run hai (I am thinking more long term). Maine part one me paese nhi liye (I didn't charge for part 1) but eventually jo faith aur belief hai ki 3 parts m jo yeh film bana sakti hai (but the faith that I have about the amount that the film will make over three parts), that is beyond anything I'd get as an actor, price as an actor.”
Meanwhile, Gulmohar has also garnered acclaim at the 70th National Awards, securing the prestigious award for Best Hindi Film. This recognition underscores the film's critical success and further highlights the significant impact it has made in Indian cinema. The award adds to the film's impressive list of accolades and continues to celebrate its remarkable journey and the stellar performances that have resonated with audiences and critics alike.
