Which one of the following films was adjudged as the Best Feature Film in the 66th National Film Awards?
- (a)Bulbul Can Sing
- (b)Hellaro
- (c)Badhaai Ho
- (d)Uri
Correct — B, Hellaro. At the 66th National Film Awards, announced in August 2019 for films of 2018, the Best Feature Film award (the Swarna Kamal, or Golden Lotus) went to Hellaro, a Gujarati film directed by Abhishek Shah. Set in a village in the Rann of Kutch, it follows women who find freedom through dance; it was the first Gujarati film to win the top National Film Award.
- (a)Bulbul Can Sing — An acclaimed Assamese film by Rima Das that was honoured in the regional-language category, but it did not win the overall Best Feature Film.
- (c)Badhaai Ho — A popular Hindi entertainer that was recognised at the same awards, but it was not adjudged the Best Feature Film.
- (d)Uri — Uri (The Surgical Strike) won in other categories (its director, Aditya Dhar, took Best Direction), but not the Best Feature Film.
The National Film Awards are India's foremost film honours, presented under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The top prize is the Best Feature Film, awarded the Swarna Kamal (Golden Lotus). The 66th edition recognised films released in 2018.
All four options are real, well-known films of 2018, so the item tests which took the single top honour. Anchor Best Feature Film at the 66th awards to the Gujarati film Hellaro rather than the more commercially famous titles.
