Jai Bhim, Karnan, Sarpatta Parambarai Snubbed at National Film Awards 2023; Fans and Celebs Share Their Discontent
The snub of these films is a reminder that the National Film Awards are not always fair or accurate. It is also a reminder that the Indian film industry is still struggling to overcome its biases.
The 69th National Film Awards were announced on August 24, 2023 and films like Suriya's Jai Bhim, Dhanush's Karnan and Arya's Sarpatta Parambarai were snubbed. These films were all critically acclaimed and praised for their powerful messages and performances. However, they were not recognised by the National Film Awards jury. This has led to disappointment and anger among fans and stars. Many people have taken to social media to express their dismay, calling the snub a joke and disgrace.
