BEST HINDI FILM – Neerja<\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019m overwhelmed! I recall approaching a famous director and being turned down.<\/div>\n
After that I reached out to Ram Madhvani, who I\u2019ve known for years. We set out to make an honest film, without giving in to pressure. The award means the world to us.<\/div>\n
Ab party to banti hai.\u201d<\/div>\n
Producer Atul Kasbekar<\/div>\n
BEST CHILDREN\u2019S FILM Dhanak<\/div>\n
\u201cWe began the journey win an award at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival but nothing compares to this! I\u2019m thinking what I\u2019ll wear to the Rashtrapati Bhavan.\u201d<\/div>\n
Producer Elahe Hiptoola<\/div>\n
BEST FILM ON SOCIAL ISSUES – Pink<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s immensely satisfying when what you want to do is recognised with a National Award, the most prestigious of all honours.Pink was an important film for me. I give my wife, Jhuma, credit for giving me the idea. Her observation based on an article in a newspaper pointed me towards a woman\u2019s ordeals in similar situations. Cinema doesn\u2019t change society, it affect us momentarily. Pink, I think, has created some consciousness. It wouldn\u2019t have been possible without Mr Bachchan (Amitabh). He came forward not just as an actor but to support a story about three girls. It would have been sone pe suhaaga if he\u2019d bagged the Best Actor Award. \u201c- Producer Shoojit Sircar<\/div>\n
BEST DIRECTION Rajesh Mapuskar (Ventilator)<\/div>\n
When I learnt I\u2019d won the Golden Lotus, I called Raju (Rajkumar Hirani who he\u2019s assisted) and he was thrilled. Vidhu Vinod Chopra who was driving to Pune called to congratulate. Ventilator will be screened at the New York Indian Film Festival on May 4. I\u2019ll attend the National Award ceremony in Delhi on May 3 and catch the night flight.<\/div>\n
BEST EDITING – RAMESHWAR (Ventilator, Produced by Priyanka Chopra)<\/div>\n
Ventilator is a special film for Rajesh (director Rajesh Mapuskar) as the story is associated with his life.Shooting chunks of it in the hospital was challenging as we couldn\u2019t move around much. But we were committed to making a good film and the award proves it\u2019s all about good work.<\/div>\n
BEST AUDIOGRAPHY RE-RECORDIST OF THE FINAL MIXED TRACK Alok De (Ventilator)<\/div>\n
Whenever Rajesh Mapuskar and I have collaborated in the past, we have focussed on every small detail. The entire album has been appreciated, including \u201cBaba\u201d. The minute I heard it I could tell it had the right emotion. Priyanka (Chopra) sung it brilliantly.<\/div>\n
BEST VFX Naveen Paul (Shivaay)<\/div>\n
I was in a meeting when the awards were announced and kept wondering why I was getting so many calls all together. It was unexpected but we can\u2019t ask for more. We in minus 25 degrees at night in Bulgaria for 70 days! The happiness on produceractor Ajay Devgn\u2019s face proved we\u2019d realised his vision.<\/div>\n
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Zaira Wasim<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s encouraging to receive an award of this stature for my debut film. It has got me more excited to work harder.\u201d<\/div>\n
BEST ANIMATION Mahayoddha Rama<\/div>\n
\u201cIt took us seven years to make this film. So many people were behind it, some like composer Aadesh Shrivastava and Sadashiv Amrapurkar who gave the voiceover are no more. It was a challenge to condense the epic in an hour and a half. We had 10 voices for Ravan\u2019s 10 heads. It\u2019s a unique film.\u201d – Abhimanyu Singh, CEO, Contiloe Pictures (Producer)<\/div>\n
SPECIAL MENTION Adil Hussain (Mukti Bhawan and Maj Rati Keteki)<\/div>\n
I am extremely inspired by the special mentions, deeply honoured as well, to be a part of the very special film, Mukti Bhawan.Akshay Kumar tweeted, \u201cBest Actor for Rustom,countless emotions,very hard to express my gratitude right now but still tried, a big THANK YOU (sic)\u201d.<\/div>\n
TWO SPECIAL MENTIONS – Mukti Bhawan<\/div>\n
We are ecstatic. Adil (Hussain, actor) didn\u2019t even read the script. He said \u201cyes\u201d within 10 minutes of meeting the director. He was at the San Francisco Film Festival where the film had its North America premiere.Now, he\u2019s in LA where it\u2019s the closing film; we\u2019re hoping we\u2019ll win there too. It opened in India on Friday. We\u2019ve asked Shubhashish (Bhutiani, director) to sponsor a party. I\u2019ve spent all my money making it. \u201c – Sanjay Bhutiani, Producer<\/div>\n
