Urvashi slams National Award jury for giving her award in supporting category: ‘This is not pension to silently accept'
Actor Urvashi won the Best Supporting Actress award at the recently announced 71st National Film Awards. The 56-year-old won it for her performance as Leelamma in Christo Tomy's 2024 film Ullozhukku, which also stars Parvathy Thiruvothu. Talking to Manorama News, while Urvashi expressed gratitude for the award, she also questioned if she needed to be younger to win Best Actress. Urvashi plays Leelamma in Ullozhukku, which also stars Parvathy Thiruvothu. Urvashi slams National Award jury Urvashi questioned the logic behind categorising her role as 'supporting' when both she and Parvathy were contending in the Best Actress category. She questioned, 'Is there any standard scale for acting? Or is it that after a certain age, this is all you'll get?' Urvashi didn't mince words as she added that these awards should make the recipient proud instead of being handed over with no explanation. 'This is not pension money to be silently accepted. How are these decisions made? What criteria is followed?' she questioned. Urvashi's previous National Award Incidentally, Urvashi faced something similar when she won the Best Supporting Actress award for the 2006 film Achuvinte Amma, in which she played the lead. She mentioned that even back then, there were 'politics' and she has only strived to make meaningful cinema over lobbying. She also called on Union Minister Suresh Gopi to investigate the process and advocate for Malayalam cinema's rightful place. 71st National Film Awards The 71st National Film Awards were announced on Friday night. Shah Rukh Khan and Vikrant Massey shared the Best Actor Award, while Rani Mukerji won Best Actress. 12th Fail won Best Film. The Malayalam film industry has been vocal about good films and performances from their industry being snubbed this year, like Prithviraj Sukumaran from Aadujeevitham—The Goat Life. From Mollywood, Ullozhukku won Best Malayalam Film, 2018 won Best Production Design, and Pookkaalam won Best Editing. Vijayaraghavan won the Best Supporting Actor award for his performance in the film. Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan also criticised The Kerala Story receiving a National Award.

Kingdom Box Office Collection Day 4: Vijay Deverakonda Film Crosses Rs 40 Crore
Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, crossed Rs 40 crore in four days but dipped on the fifth. The film has a massive Rs 130 crore budget. Kingdom Box Office Collection Day 4: Vijay Deverakonda has finally found his mojo again! After a string of underwhelming releases, the actor is back in action with Kingdom, and fans seem to be showing up in full force. Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri and featuring a solid ensemble including Satyadev, Venkatesh, and Bhagyashri Borse, the film opened strong and crossed the Rs 40 crore mark in just four days. But while the crown may be shiny for now, Kingdom is beginning to feel the heat as it battles to keep the momentum going at the box office. According to the latest figures from Sacnilk, Kingdom witnessed a slight dip in collections on its fifth day, which also happened to be its first Sunday. Early estimates suggest the film earned Rs 7 crore on the day. The Vijay Deverakonda-starrer had kicked off its run with an extended weekend in mind, opening on Thursday with a solid Rs 18 crore. It followed up with Rs 7.5 crore on Friday, and then picked up slightly on Saturday with Rs 8 crore. With Sunday's numbers in, the total domestic collection now stands at Rs 40.5 crore. Kingdom is yet to surpass the lifetime collection of Liger, Vijay Deverakonda's pre-pandemic pan-India release from 2019. Liger had wrapped up its theatrical run with a total of Rs 41.17 crore. Kingdom has reportedly been mounted on a massive budget of Rs 130 crore, with a sizeable portion earmarked for its leading star. As per Telugu media reports, Vijay Deverakonda charged a hefty Rs 30 crore for his role in the high-octane spy-action film. Industry insiders also hint at a possible profit-sharing deal in place, which could see the actor pocket an even bigger paycheck if the film turns into a blockbuster. However, there has been no official word from Deverakonda or his team on the specifics of his remuneration arrangement. Kingdom plunges audiences into a high-stakes world of espionage and emotional conflict. Vijay Deverakonda stars as Suri, a seemingly ordinary cop whose life is upended when he's handpicked for a covert mission in Sri Lanka. His objective? To track down and extract his long-lost brother, Siva — played by Satyadev — who has risen through the underworld ranks to become a powerful smuggling kingpin. As personal loyalties clash with national duty, the story unfolds with action, emotion, and suspense. Bhagyashri Borse rounds out the lead cast as the film's female protagonist.

Vijayaraghavan steps into power in 'Ananthan Kaadu' poster; A tribute after National Award win; Check out
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) When the poster of the ambitious Malayalam-Tamil bilingual film 'Ananthan Kaadu' dropped this week, all eyes were on veteran actor Vijayaraghavan . In the newly unveiled character poster, Vijayaraghavan is seen standing tall in a white kurta, his face stoic and stern, exuding the look of a seasoned politician. But the poster wasn't just a promotional drop — it doubled as a heartfelt congratulatory message for Vijayaraghavan's National Award win, acknowledging his powerful performance in Pookkaalam. Sharing the poster, the makers wrote, "Congratulations Shri. Vijayaraghavan on your National Award." From the 'Tiyaan' team 'Ananthan Kaadu' marks the reunion of director Jiyen Krishnakumar and screenwriter Murali Gopy, the duo that delivered 'Tiyaan'. This time, they aim even higher, with a pan-Indian vision and a narrative rooted in the socio-political landscape of Thiruvananthapuram. Tamil actor Arya leads the film alongside an ensemble that includes Indrans, Sunil (of Pushpa fame), Appani Sharath, Murali Gopy, Dev Mohan, and Achyuth Kumar. The female cast shines with Nikhila Vimal, Regina Cassandra, and Shanthy Balachandran in pivotal roles. Music for the film comes from B. Ajaneesh Loknath. About 'Ananthan Kaadu' Ananthan Kaadu - Official Malayalam Teaser The Arya starrer comes with the tagline 'To the jungles within' and it indicates that the movie will be telling the journey into the unknown. The makers had earlier shared the title teaser for the upcoming film which promised an intense drama movie with stunning performances. With Murali Gopy's strong writing, 'Ananthan Kaadu' is expected to be an intense thriller. The expectations are quite high for the movie and the release date is awaited. Meanwhile, Murali Gopi's previous outing was the Mohanlal starrer 'L2: Empuraan' which was directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. On the other hand, Vijayaraghavan received much praises from the audiences recently for his performance in the thriller drama movie 'Kishkindha Kaandam' starring Asif Ali and Aparna Balamurali in the lead.
