Does Amitabh Bachchan deserve the National Award for Piku?

Amitabh Bachchan is one of the best actors in the industry, there is no argument over that. But did his performance in Shoojit Sircar’s Piku deserve the prestigious National Award? More so when there were other terrific performances like Ranveer Singh in ‘Bajirao Mastani’, the immensely popular Salman Khan in ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ and terrific performances by actors like Nawazuddin Siddiqui in films like ‘Manjhi – The Mountain Man’ and ‘Badlapur’.

We aren’t even discussing the other regional language films here, but there were arguably more deserving performances this year in the Hindi Film Industry.

Bachchan was terrific in ‘Piku’, but his performance in the film doesn’t even compare to his stellar acts in films like ‘Black’ and ‘Paa’.

  • Also 1 regional performance That was brilliant was by Tamil actor Vikram in movie ‘I’ directed by Robot director Shankar. It has been telecasted in hindi dub many times on tv and many of you must have seen it. He had so many different looks and gave a very good performace. He undoubtedly had the most difficult role of all hindi movie actors.

  • articles seems like fanboy article…..salman in bb was nothing more than ordinary…people like movie and concept so was character but acting he was just bit better than his other movies…..yes ranveer was serious contender for best actor I personally feel he is better than amitabh from piku…..akshay from baby was good not extraordinary. ….ajay from drishyam was way better…..dont knw much about regional performance. …..

  • According to me,he did not deserve.
    SRK deserved for swades and chak de.He didnt.
    Aamir deserved for sarfarosh and pk.He didnt.
    Salman deserved for dabangg(dont think it as a nonsensical movie but the character chulbul pandey deserved it) and bajrangi bhaijaan.
    So in my opinion,these awards are also similar to the other commercial awards

  • Indicine This Is a Terrible Post ßy you .
    Not Appreciable.

    Pls delete it man !
    This is complete disrespect of legend.

    I think you got influenced by a comment of @Babaji Ka thullu where he said Amitabh doesn’t deserve award for Piku few days ago. I mean how can u ? terrible Terrible terrible. That’s it.

  • amitji is a gr8 actor and every honour he is bestowed with looks small but this time its other way round
    if srk in swadesh , aamir in lagaan , hrithik of koi mil gaya weren’t award deserving then how could amitabh bachchan get it for piku.

    they could have given it to salman or vikram (his fans would hav been more flattered then)

    btw now big b has four national film award to his credit
    #legend

  • Salman & akshay r entertaining india since long time..they r biggest entertaining stars of bollywood..they deserves awards now atleast..

  • No AB does not deserve National Award for Piku he was good but not Superb.

    I think that this time Salman Khan totally deserve the National Award and I am not saying this because I am his Fan but b/c he did really amazing job in Bajrangi Bhaijaan and whole India knows this, each & everyone wants that Salman Khan should get the National Award for his superb performance in BB…..

  • Now how i believe that there is NO INTOLERANCE IN MY COUNTRY

    BIG IS LEGENDARY BUT NATIONAL AWARD FOR PIKU IS NOT DESERVING

    ACCORDING TO ME THIS TIME SALMAN DESERVED TO GET THIS BUT AFTER ALL HE DINT GOT IT

    AND WHY AJAY GOT NATIONAL AWARD THIS YEAR…ISN’T IT ALSO SHOCKING????

    WHY SALMAN ADN AAMIR AND SHAHRUKH DINT GOT NATIONAL BEST ACTOR AWARD YET????

    THE THING IS AS SIMPLE AS THIS
    BIG B IS A BIG SUPPORTER OF MODI AND BJP LOVER AND HE GOT
    AJAY PROMOTED BJP IN RECENT ELECTIONSS AND HE GOT
    ANUPAM KHER PRAISED MODI AND BJP MANY TIME AND HE ALSO GOT
    SRI SRI RAVISHANKAR APPOINTMENT MODI ON A SEPARATE STAGE AND HE ALSO GOT

    1 DIALOGUE FROM 3 IDIOTS

    ACTING KE PICHCHCHE MAT BHAAGO….BJP KE BHAKT BAN JAO…AWARDS TUMHARE PICHCHE BHAGENGE

  • Amitabh sir is one of the three pillars of hindi cinema along with Dilip Kumar and Srk. .
    But honestly ranveer or Nawazzuddin deserved more than him the award

  • Dunno what to say.

    Personally NO with due respect.

    National award is a Pride …come on Amit Sir had 3 ….. With all indications it shows some senior actors might not win it if it continues like this.

    Always in my mind when it comes to National
    ..
    1. Saif getting a national awards for Hum tum not even an Araksharan or Kurban says it all.

    2. Hrithik for KMG I don’t know what went wrong with the juries …

    3. Srk if swades was overlooked for goodness sake Chak De India MNik??? Funny

    4. Aamir for Lagaan ??

    5. Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2015 was a Salman movie.
    Salman deserved it more ….but if Srk Aamir were ignored I think Salman fans should just know something is wrong with the name Khan s and the Jury members. They just don’t click…!!

  • Big nooooooooo ….why they dont give it to Muslims just a shame …
    Srk in cdi or sawade
    Amir in Lagaan
    Salman in bb
    Just a Big shame national awards

  • @indicine

    Salman performance was not only popular but terrific as well….

    IMO I would replace Ranveer name with Akshay kumar name…if you were to consider the other ones who deserved the awards…

    Better luck next time…

  • @since when national award become prestigious ? Because srk Amir didn’t win any? It is most currupt award. This is same award where Arjun rampaul, karishma kapoor, raveena, saif can win award. I m a big of Amitji but he neither deserved award for piku, paa or hamfest agneepath. Infact he had many great performance in 70-80s even khuda was his one of best.
    Some Bhai fans are crying for BB but let them know he might win if other nominee would be only all Bhai movie. He was great if u compare to his own performance in the past. His performance was not close to nawazuddin ranveer or Akki.
    Anyway congrats to all winners

  • i have said once and again saying all indian awards including matinal awards padma shree padma bhushan padma vibhushan and bharat ratna rajeev gandhi khel ratan awards are are fake right now … like or dislike ..

  • aisha @ 7.03 clarify me plz are u saying tat the list u mentioned should have got natinal awards or should not .. i m confused ..

  • Strictly NO…
    Whatever performances I have seen last year, in my personal opinion Prabhas was the best of the lot..I simply cannot imagine anyone else in the role of Bahubali..

  • Don’t say anything in respect to religions like he didn’t got award because he is Muslim or khans

    take a look
    Hrithik Roshan (Hindu)
    Never got single national award despite Giving Greatest performance of Hindi Cinema in films Like KOI MILGAYA, JODHAA AKBAR, GUZAARISH . Can say without any doubts that all three performances are biggest awards for our Hindi Cinema itself

    Saif Ali Khan (Muslim)
    Got a National Award for such film which doesn’t even nominations in any awards

    if system is too supportive towards Hindu then Muslims never got a single awards in any field (There are too many awards given to Muslims as well)

    Lastly, Don’t debate for any awards purity because I have no faith in any awards after Hrithik’s beyond any performance in GUZAARISH was neglected from awards and since then I believe that ALL AWARDS ARE CRAPS

  • Politics everywhere ?! What to say? Shame ?…. If not Bhai then at least Nawazuddin is the most deserving contender for the award followed by Akshay(for Baby) and Ajay(for Drishyam)…. Ranveer did a fine job but he is bit overrated here !!!! Thanks god our very own Coward Khan not win for greatest torture of decade ‘FlopWale’ or else I will lost faith in National Awards…. Which actually I lose in some extent !!!! ? This time they do justice with Kangana !!!! Happy for BB as it got the award for Providing Wholesome Entertainment which is a prestigious award ? !!!!
