Hyderabad:
Ace
director
SS
Rajamouli's
last
directorial
venture
Eega
is
a
critically
acclaimed
Telugu
movie,
which
had
a
super
run
at
the
Box
Office
and
become
the
Blockbuster.
The
Sudeep-Nani-
Samantha
starrer
has
also
been
screened
at
the
L'Étrange,
Sundance
and
Chennai
International
Film
Festivals.
Now,
the
movie
has
bagged
two
National
Film
Awards,
which
were
announced
in
New
Delhi
today
(March
18).
Basu
Chatterjee,
the
chairman
of
the
selection
committee,
has
announced
the
60th
National
Film
Awards
at
a
press
conference
in
the
capital
city.
The
romantic
fantasy
fictional
film
Eega,
which
revolved
around
the
revenge
of
a
fly,
has
bagged
the
award
for
Best
Regional
Film
in
Telugu.
Besides
this,
the
movie
has
garnered
another
award
-
Best
Special
Effects.
Earlier,
Eega
was
shortlisted
for
India's
Oscar
nomination.
When
everyone
was
thinking
that
it
would
become
final
selection
for
Oscar
nomination,
the
movie
was
omitted
in
the
middle,
which
had
left
many
with
shock
and
surprise.
But
the
latest
recognition
to
Eega
from
National
Awards
would
surely
bring
smile
on
their
faces.
However,
1940
Lo
Oka
Gramam,
which
was
directed
by
Narsimha
Nandi,
was
last
Telugu
movie
to
get
the
Best
National
film
Award
in
2009.
Before
this,
Show,
Aithe,
Swarabhishekam,
Bommalata
and
Kamli
had
received
this
honour
earlier.
Now,
Eega
has
become
the
latest
to
win
this
award.
