Who Has Won the Most National Film Awards in India?
The National Film Awards are one of the highest awards in Indian cinema. They are organized annually by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India, to encourage Indian film artists. All preparations are underway for this year's 71st National Film Awards.
On August 1, 2025, the nominees for the 2023 National Film Awards were announced, including Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, and Vikrant Massey. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the National Film Awards were not held for two years, and as a result, films and actors from last year's 2022 and this year's 2023 are being honored. The ceremony will begin at 4 pm at Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi.
Amitabh Bachchan surpasses Rajinikanth:
While every industry has its own awards ceremony, the most significant feature of the National Film Awards is that they are presented to films and artists from every industry and language. The industry's most decorated National Film Award winner is the legendary Shabana Azmi.
Shabana Azmi has been awarded National Film Awards for these 5 best films - 'Ankur', 'Arth', 'Khandhar', 'Par', 'Godmother'.
These actors have won the National Film Award four times:
Amitabh Bachchan and Kangana Ranaut are the second-highest Indian stars to win the National Film Award. Amitabh Bachchan received his first National Film Award for 'Agneepath.' He subsequently received the award for powerful films like 'Black,' 'Piku,' and 'Paa.'
After Shabana Azmi, Kangana Ranaut is the actress with the most National Film Awards. She has received these awards for films ranging from 'Queen' to 'Tanu Weds Manu Returns,' 'Panga,' and 'Manikarnika.' Kamal Haasan has also received National Awards for 'Moodram Pirai,' 'Nayakan,' 'Thevar Magan,' and "Indian."
These stars, including Ajay Devgn, have won three National Film Awards:
Naseeruddin Shah was honored with the National Film Award three times for films like "Iqbal," "Paar," and "Sparsh," while Ajay Devgn not only won the hearts of audiences with films like "The Legend of Bhagat Singh" and "Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior," but also won National Film Awards for them.
Nana Patekar, Manoj Bajpayee, Pankaj Kapur, Mithun Chakraborty, and Mammootty are among the actors who have won three National Film Awards each in the Best Actor category.
