audiences
are
not
much
happy
about
the
19th
Asianet
Film
Awards
result,
and
have
been
thrashing
the
jury
for
the
award
choices.
The
audiences
feel
that
the
committee
ignored
several
deserving
actors
and
technicians.
Especially,
the
audiences
are
unhappy
about
Asianet's
ignorance
towards
the
films
like
Guppy,
Maheshinte
Prathikaaram,
Kammatipaadam,
etc.
They
have
also
been
trolled
for
not
considering
Nayanatara
(Puthiya
Niyamam)
and
Vinayakan
(Kammatipaadam)
for
the
awards.
