Depuis 1954, les National Film Awards met est la cérémonie la plus importante pour le cinéma indien.
Les prix sont très nombreux et avant de parler de la liste complète on va se concentrer sur Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea qui vient de remporter le prix du meilleur film.
Avec Mohanlal en tête d’affiche, le film en Malayalam, il sera aussi disponible en en tamoule, telugu et hindi. Le film devait sortir en 2020…puis en mars 2021 et maintenant en mai 2021. Le film à aussi reçu un prix pour les effets spéciaux et les costumes.
Pour le moment le film n’a pas de date de sortie chez nous, mais on peut espérer qu’Amazon soit sur le coup…mais si une nouvelle fois il faudra se passer des sous-titres français comme toujours.
