Missed National Award: Analyzing Suriya’s and Dhanush’s Performances

Every year, the National Film Awards in India are highly anticipated, and many talented actors vie for this prestigious title. This year, the spotlight was on two prominent actors, Suriya and Dhanush, both of whom delivered remarkable performances in their respective films, Varanam Ayiram and Aadhukalam.

A Nod to 2019 Nominees

Suriya was nominated for the National Film Awards for his outstanding performance in Varanam Ayiram in 2019. While both Suriya and Dhanush were highly praised, the jury's choice is often transparent in reflecting their collective assessment of the actors and the films as a whole. Critics and fans have debated whether Suriya should have been awarded over Dhanush, but ultimately, it comes down to the jury's judgment. Fans are optimistic about Suriya making a comeback with his recent film Soorarai Potru, where he might be a contender.

National Awards and Merit

The National Film Awards are often criticized for being given to individuals who do not solely merit the award. Many of these accolades are believed to be influenced by political and other forms of sponsorship. However, it cannot be denied that both Suriya and Dhanush are hardworking actors with commendable careers. Suriya, known for his versatility, has taken on diverse roles, including his work in Perazhagan, Gajini, Azham Arivu, and Soorarai Potru. Dhanush, a veteran actor, has proven his best performance in numerous films, such as Aadhukalam.

Disappointed but Hopeful

From a personal standpoint, opinions vary. However, it is believed that if the National Awards were solely based on dedication and acting ability, Suriya would have received multiple awards. Notably, films like Varanam Ayiram, where Suriya played both a young and an old man, would have deserved recognition. Similarly, Anniyan I by Vikram also deserved an award. The story and moral of the film play a significant role in determining the recipient of the award. Several Kollywood actors, including Suriya and Vikram, have deserved the honor but for various reasons, they have not received it.

Conclusion

In the end, it is clear that Suriya and Dhanush are both exceptional actors with significant contributions to Indian cinema. Dhanush’s award for Aadhukalam has certainly generated mixed reactions. Fans are hopeful that Suriya’s excellent performance in Soorarai Potru will lead to a better outcome in the upcoming awards.
