The announcement of the winners for the 69th National Film Awards took place on August 24. Films that gained critical acclaim, like 'Jai Bhim,' 'Karnan,' and 'Sarpatta Parambarai,' were notably absent from the list of awardees.

The recently declared 69th National Film Awards showcased a significant presence of Telugu cinema, with films like 'RRR' and 'Pushpa' securing a majority of the awards. Conversely, Tamil films, including Suriya's 'Jai Bhim,' Dhanush's 'Karnan,' Arya's 'Sarpatta Parambarai,' and Simbu's 'Maanaadu,' along with Malayalam films like Joju George's 'Nayattu' and Tovino Thomas's 'Minnal Murali,' did not receive the anticipated recognition. Frustrated fans expressed their discontent on social media platforms.

Prior to the award announcement, the jury acknowledged the challenging nature of their task and the impossibility of pleasing everyone. Nonetheless, they emphasized that the selection process adhered to democratic principles.

Not limited to Tamil films, even popular Malayalam productions such as 'Minnal Murali' and 'Nayattu' ended up empty-handed. On a positive note, 'Home' clinched the title of Best Malayalam Film at the 69th National Film Awards.
