National Film Awards Logo (Photo: Web) The coveted Dadasaheb Phalke Award -- the country's highest cinema honour -- was reserved for late actor Vinod Khanna, known for films like "Muqaddar Ka Sikandar", "The Burning Train" and "Amar, Akbar, Anthony". Even the late Sridevi was given a posthumous Best Actress honour for her intense role as a mother in her last released film "Mom". "Sridevi was not given the honour because of my relationship with her, but because of her contribution in 'Mom'," jury chairperson Shekhar Kapur, who worked with her in "Mr. India", told the media. The winners' list has a good mix of Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali and Assamese films too. Check out the full winners’ list of '65th National Awards' here...
