The blockbuster film Bhagavanth Kesari, marking the first collaboration between Nandamuri Balakrishna and hitmaker Anil Ravipudi, continues to make headlines.
After breaking several box office records and earning critical acclaim, the film has also won several awards.
It has now achieved one of the highest honors in Indian cinema, winning the National Award for Best Telugu Film for the year 2023 at the 71st National Film Awards.
Unlike many mainstream commercial entertainers, Bhagavanth Kesari stood out for its powerful social message.
At its core, the film addresses the sensitive and crucial topic of good touch and bad touch, aiming to educate audiences, especially younger viewers and parents, on the importance of awareness and protection.
Known for his entertaining films, Anil Ravipudi took a refreshing turn in style by weaving in the empowering message of Banao Beti Ko Sher, which played a key role in the film earning the award.
The National Award recognition not only celebrates the film's cinematic excellence but also honors its commitment to social responsibility. The team behind Bhagavanth Kesari is undoubtedly elated by this prestigious acknowledgment.
The film features a strong performance by Sreeleela in a pivotal role, alongside Kajal Aggarwal, who plays a significant part in the narrative.
Produced by Sahu Garapati under the Shine Screens banner, the film's success is a testament to the power of impactful storytelling blended with commercial appeal.
This National Award marks a proud moment for the entire cast and crew, cementing Bhagavanth Kesari’s place as one of the most meaningful and successful Telugu films of recent times.
