The Hindi film industry has gone through pretty bad times in the year 2022 as many movies including the ones of A-list actors fell flat on the box-office but there were few films and actors who left no stone unturned in supporting and strengthening Bollywood.
Awards and recognitions not only recognize the good work done by the makers, actors and other people associated with the movie but they also encourage them to do even better in the future as well.
Recently, the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2023 ceremony was held in a 5-star hotel in the city of dreams, Mumbai and few people from the Indian film industry and television world got lucky to have won this prestigious award in various categories.
While Vivek Agnihotri’s “The Kashmir Files” received the Best Film award, SS Rajamouli’s “RRR” was adjudged as the “Film of the Year”.
The beautiful celebrity couple of Bollywood who has recently embraced parenthood won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards. Yes, you guessed it right!

Alia Bhatt accepted Ranbir Kapoor’s award on his behalf as he was not present in the ceremony.
