National Film Awards 2025 Winners List
The National Film Awards 2025 stand as one of the highest honors in Indian cinema, presented each year by the Government of India to celebrate excellence in filmmaking. These awards recognize outstanding films, performances, and technical achievements across various languages and genres, reflecting the rich diversity of the country’s film industry.
