"Haider", the third in filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj's trilogy of
films based on Shakespearean tragedies, picked up honors for
dialogue, costume design, music, choreography and male playback
singing.
"Queen" was adjudged the best Hindi film and lead star Kangana
Ranaut was named best actress for her portrayal of a jilted
bride who spends her honeymoon alone in Europe.
"Mary Kom", a biopic based on India's eponymous Olympian and
five-time women's boxing world champion, was the only other
Bollywood movie on the list of feature film winners announced on
Tuesday, taking the gong for best popular film.
Bollywood films usually play second fiddle to regional language
cinema at the National Film Awards, but prevailed in key
categories this year.
But it did miss out on the biggest prize. The multi-lingual
courtroom drama "Court" bagged the best feature film award and
was cited by the jury for its "powerful and stark depiction of
the mundaneness of judicial procedure."
The awards will be presented at a ceremony later this year.
