Tamil Films dominate National Awards
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
August 08, 2007
National Awards, though announced late due to legal tangles, are finally out. Earlier, the Supreme Court issued a stay order on disclosing the national awards as one of the jury members of the selection committee filed a petition that the entire process was too biased. With the Court vacating the stay the winners have been announced.
