Remember when any movie awards meant anything in India?Complete list of winners at Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2022
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 20 (ANI): The prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2022 were held on Sunday and were graced by several stars including Asha Parekh, Lara Dutta, Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani.aninews.in
Oh wait! These things never meant anything.
Why I am even saying this? Because this is not even the official Dadasaheb Phalke award given by the Government of India. "Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival" is a private award given in the name of Dadasaheb. Government needs to seriously consider doing something on awards named something similar to what government offer. Otherwise we will likely have Bharat International Ratna soon.
Name game: Will the real Dadasaheb Phalke Award winners please stand up?
On April 30, India celebrated the birth anniversary of Dadasaheb Phalke, known as ‘the father of Indian cinema’. The annual National Film Award given in his name carries immense prestige. But other awards are also using the name, causing confusion.
