The 66th National Film Awards for the year 2019 has been announced and this is one of the most awaited ceremonies for the film fans across the country.

The movie that features Ayushmann Khuranna and Radhika Apte has won the best film award during the 66th National Film Awards Ceremonial that was announced today.

The movie Uri: The Surgical Strike, which was directed by Aditya Dhar has grabbed four awards, which includes the best actor, the best sound design, best background music and the best direction. This has been a major achievement for the movie from the 2019 National Film Awards.

Bollywood actors Ayushmann Kurranna and Vicky Kaushal have shared the award for the best actor and this honor was for their performance in Andhadhun and Uri: The Surgical Strike.
