The Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2022 were held on February 21 much to the delight of movie buffs. The event proved to be a star-studded affair, which was attended by some of the biggest names from the film industry. Bollywood star Ranveer Singh won the award for 'Best Actor' for his portrayal of legendary cricketer Kapil Dev in the sports drama 83, directed by Kabir Khan. The film revolved around India's win in the 1983 World Cup.

Kriti Sanon won the 'Best Actress' award for her portrayal of a surrogate mother in Mimi. The film, which premiered digitally last year, was praised for its engaging screenplay and sincere performances.

It was, however, the Telugu movie Pushpa: The Rise that proved to be the biggest newsmaker of the evening as it won the award for 'Film of the Year'. The Allu Arjun-fronted actioner hit the screens in December and emerged as a massive success despite facing competition from the Hollywood biggie Spider-Man: No Way Home, starring Tom Holland. It revolved around the issue of Red Sanders smuggling and catered to a mass audience. The Sukumar-helmed flick starred Rashmika Mandanna as the female protagonist and marked her first collaboration with 'Bunny'. The cast included Fahad Faasil, Dhananjaya, Sunil and Anasuya Bharadwaj. Its sequel, titled Pushpa: The Rule, will hit the screens later this year.
