Akshay Kumar wins National Award for Rustom

Akshay Kumar has added yet another feather in what has been a glorious career stretching for over two decades. The superstar has won the National Award for Best Actor for his performance in ‘Rustom’, a commercially successful film which released during the Independence Day weekend last year.

Akshay becomes one of the few mainstream heroes to win the prestigious award. He joins Ajay Devgn and Amitabh Bachchan as one of the few major stars to have won the National Award for Best Actor.

Inspite of excellent performances in several films during the last decade, Bollywood awards haven’t really given Akshay his due. He wasn’t even nominated for Rustom or Airlift.

But the actor who turns 50 later this year, enjoying arguably the best phase of his career so far, has finally got his due.

  • Those who are saying Muslim never got national award they are right . National award deserves only Hindu actor .

  • Make patriotic movies, videos on media, join rss campaigns, receive a national award. Doesnt matter if other actors did a better job.You will standout in front of the Jury. Priyadarshan had a part to play aswell. Feeling sorry for Amir Khan, Amitabh, Salman, sushant.

  • It appears to be planned. There is an on going effort from Government to bring down all 3 Khans and give more highlight to Akshay Kumar. I am not saying he don’t deserve it but he deserve it more for Airlift than Rustom. Any sensible neutral fan or many Akki fans will agree with it. Don’t be surprised if Akki beats one of the Khan in 1-2 years.

  • On a lighter note, A Canadian got Indian National award for best actor !!!!!! Lol

    Note : No offence to anyone.

  • @ Ultron The Salmoronic,

    Hahahahahaha, Aur zor se bhonk, Bete… The whole world is listening your scream…

    Jo maza haddiya thodne mein nahi hai, Wo Teri akad todne mein hai, Hahahahahahaha…

  • National award b bik gaye yar. ese priyadarshan jese chaman log kya krte h jury mai. I like akki but honestly but his acting in rustom was too ordinary, he didnt deserved this. Ajay’s win was convincing for national award in bhagat singh biopic. Awards in india lossing credibility. even sushant was more deserving for dhoni. but anyway congo to fans.

  • Congratulations,Akki Bhai!
    #But honestly speaking his Airlift acting was better than that in Rustom
    #Overall in the last year,performance wise Sushant in ‘Dhoni’ and SRK in’ Fan ‘were much better.
    #It was little ‘hatke’ to find a non-Hindi movie in wholesome entertainment category.
    It proves again that a little bit of Luck n jury’s approach in a particular year may be decider.
    Remember SRK ‘s Swadesh debacle against Saif’s win for Hum Tum (Sudhir Mishra better knows why!) !

  • Who said Muslims don’t get national awards see there are few khans…
    Some turds blindly support 3 khans bcz they’re muslims… I support Aamir Khan being a Hindu and yes I’m a fan of both Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan bcz of their acting social works sensible movies hard work and dedication…Those who thinks support ur own religion only should be thrown out of the country… They’re the reason of many big issues… Outdated craps…

  • And those who’s commenting on his nationality 1st do some research on that and 2ndly if ur an Indian what have you done for India? So don’t comment like fools.

  • FYI >>>>

    Directly from the HORSES Mouth [Head of Jury,National Film Awards]

    ““Akshay has won the Best Actor award for both Airlift and Rustom. For technical reasons only Rustom is mentioned in the list of awardees. But he has given contrasting and extremely sensitive performances in both Airlift and Rustom, and we thought it was only fair to honour him for both.””

    HATERS…

    First When they heard Akshay Kumar won a National Award For RUSTOM……Its Wrong..AIRLIFT ke liye Milta toh Thik Tha…

    Now..When [head of the Jury Clarified] Akshay Kumar won it for Both AIRLIFT and RUSTOM but due to Technical Reasons..Rustom is Mentioned in the Awardees Category “…..DubbStuck..Burnol Moment…

  • FYI >>>>>>>

    Who Said A Muslim has not Won a National Award…If HATERS cant Digest It…Go to Hell..Atleast Dont Spread Communalism in the name of Religion .

    Nasseruddin Shah ,Irfaan Khan ,Saif Ali Khan Have Won National Awards with Shah Winning it 2 times making a total of 4 Out of 23 Times [16 Actors in Total].

    AKSHAY KUMAR deserves every bit of It…

    on a lighter note try as much u want lalu’s height is not growing beyond more that 5 feet 5 inch, he looks like a dwarf in front of katrina and deepika….i have praised a lot to salman in last article but if u people try to drag down Akki then i will not hesitate a second to pull him down..

    Talking about the disputed category he said, “For the Best Actor category, we had four people in the final round. Akshay had two films (‘Airlift’ and ‘Rustom’). Mohanlal had three films. Besides them, two other Bengali actors were there. Akshay and Mohanlal were the main two contenders.” He also added, “Akshay has won the Best Actor award for both Airlift and Rustom. For technical reasons only Rustom is mentioned in the list of awardees. But he has given contrasting and extremely sensitive performances in both Airlift and Rustom, and we thought it was only fair to honour him for both!”

    Those Of You Can Understand English…would Know..It was Competition Between the Actors and Akshay Kumar had Two Films [AIRLIFT & RUSTOM] backing him.Moreover In The Final Round [After Getting Shortlisted among all Regional films that includes Hindi Films] Akshay Kumar was one of the 4 Contenders in the Final Round and Only 1 Representing Bollywood to Reach the Final Stage.

    So My Humble Request to All..Understand its not Akki vs Rest of Bollywood.Akki was Alone who was in Final Round from Bollywood [Hindi Films ].

    And Its Not Decided by a Person but a Elite Panel of Jury..that consists Respected Noted Film Personalities that goes through multiple rounds rather than Giving it to Someone to get TRPs [unlike Private Award Shows].

  • I say very funny a Canadian win
    Indian national award
    award should be given to Salman Khan
    for Bajrangi

  • One Thing that Many Ppl are Mixing Up in FILM nad ACTOR.

    AKSHAY KUMAR got #Best Actor for AIRLIFT and RUSTOM for his Acting and Conviction in that Movie.

    AIRLIFT and RUSTOM did not get #BestFilm Award.

    AMITji and Ajay Devgn got National Award for #BestActor for their Acting in SAAT HINDUSTAANI,AGNEEPATH,JAKHM

    SAAT HINDUSTANI,AGNEEPATH,JAKHM Did not Get #BestFilm Awards…

    Those who have Common Sense would Understand
