The presentation ceremony of the 67th National Film Awards took place in Delhi on Monday (October 25).
The awards also included the 51st Dadsaheb Phalke Award which was presented to actor Rajinikanth.

The awards were presented by Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu.
Actor Dhanush, who predominantly works in the Kollywood industry was honoured with the Best Actor Award for his performance in the rural drama Asuran (2019).

The Jagame Thandhiram star was accompanied by his father-in-law Rajinikanth, mother-in-law Latha Rajinikanth, wife Aishwarya R Dhanush and children Yatra Raja and Linga Dhanush. Notably, Dhanush shared the Best Actor award with Manoj Bajpayee (for Bhonsle).
Prabha Varma received the Best Lyrics award for the Malayalam film Kolambi, while Raja Sundaram got the Best Choreography award for Maharshi (Telugu film).
Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi arrived in style as he too donned traditional attire for the ceremony. He was awarded the best supporting actor award for the Tamil film Super Deluxe for his incredible performance as a transgender.
Director Vamshi Paidipally received the award for his highly talked about film Maharshi in the category Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. Mollywood producer Antony Perumbavoor collected the award for Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham that bagged National Award in the Best Feature Film category.
