The National Film Award for Best Actor (officially known as Rajat Kamal Award for the Best Actor) is an honor presented annually at the National Film Awards of India to an actor who has delivered the best performance in a leading role within the Indian film industry.[1]

Contents

Background

The Directorate of Film Festivals makes awards annually in several categories. The organization was established by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (Government of India) in 1973 to arrange and manage national and international film festivals in India. The President of India presents the awards "to encourage the production of films of aesthetic and technical excellence and social relevance contributing to the understanding and appreciation of cultures of different regions of the country in cinematic form and thereby also promoting integration and unity of the nation."[1][2]

Called the State Awards for Films when established in 1954, the awards ceremony is older than the Directorate of Film Festivals. The State Awards instituted the individual award in 1968 as the Bharat Award for the Best Actor; in 1975 it was renamed as the Rajat Kamal Award for the Best Actor.[1][3][4] Throughout the past 43 years, accounting for ties and repeat winners, the Government of India has presented a total of 44 Best Actor awards to 35 different actors.

Until 1974, winners of this National Film Award of Merit received a figurine and certificate, but since 1975, they have been awarded with a Rajat kamal (silver lotus), certificate and a cash prize (INR50,000 in 2011).[3] Although the Indian film industry produces films in around 20 languages and dialects,[1] the actors whose performances have won awards have worked in seven major languages: Bengali, English, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi and Tamil.

Notable recipients

The first recipient was Uttam Kumar from Bengali cinema, who was honored at the 15th National Film Award (1968) for his performances in Antony Firingee (as an Anglo-Indian) and Chiriyakhana (a Chinese).[5] Three actors—Kamal Haasan, Mammootty and Amitabh Bachchan—have been honored thrice and six actors—Sanjeev Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty, Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Mohanlal and Ajay Devgn—have been awarded twice.

Mithun Chakraborty and Mammootty are the only two actors who have achieved the honor for performances in films in two different languages. Mithun was awarded in 1977 for his performance in the Hindi film Mrigaaya, and in 1993 for the Bengali film Tahader Katha. Mammootty was honored for his performances in four Malayalam films: in 1990 for Mathilukal and Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha, and in 1994 for Ponthan Mada and Vidheyan; and in 1999 for his role as B. R. Ambedkar in the English film Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar (jointly shared with Ajay Devgn).[6]

Since 2000, Amitabh Bachchan is the most successful actor, having won two awards: for his performances in Black (2006)[7] and Paa (2010).[8] The most recent recipients were Dhanush (Tamil) and Salim Kumar (Malayalam), who were honored at the 58th National Film Awards ceremony (2011) for their performances in Aadukalam and Adaminte Makan Abu, respectively.[9]
