The 67th National Film Awards were announced by the Directorate of Film Festivals at National Media Centre in Delhi today (March 22, 2021). The much awaited awards were delayed owing to the nationwide lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic last year.

Speaking about Bollywood films, late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's film Chhichhore bagged the Best Hindi Film award. The Nitesh Tiwari directorial also stars Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Sharma, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Naveen Polishshetty, Tusshar Pandey and others in pivotal roles.

Chhichhore revolves around how a tragic incident forces Anirudh (Sushant Singh Rajput), a middle-aged man, to take a trip down memory lane and reminisce about his college days along with his friends, who were labelled as losers. The film which released in 2019, had received rave reviews from the critics and was a commercial success at the box office.
