The National Film Awards are one of the highest-paid awards in Indian cinema. They are organized annually by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India, to encourage Indian film artists. All preparations are underway for this year's 71st National Film Awards.
On August 1, 2025, the nominees for the 2023 National Film Awards were announced, including Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, and Vikrant Massey. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the National Film Awards were not held for two years, and as a result, films and actors from last year's 2022 and this year's 2023 awards are being honored. The ceremony will begin at 4 pm at Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi. But before that, let's take a look at the Indian star who has won the most National Awards:
