Aadujeevitham's director Blessy reacts to National Awards snub for Prithviraj Sukumaran film, says ‘seems like double standards'
Blessy calls out Ashutosh Gowariker The 71st National Film Awards were announced on August 1, 2025, to honour the best of Indian cinema in 2023. The winners' list received mixed reactions from the audience. One film that became the centre of growing controversy after being completely ignored by the jury was director Blessy's ambitious survival drama Aadujeevitham – The Goat Life, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran . Despite being both a critical and commercial success, the film failed to win a single award, a decision that has sparked disappointment, debate, and accusations of inconsistency in the jury's an interview with OnManorama, Blessy expressed his shock and dismay over the exclusion. What particularly frustrated the filmmaker was the alleged change in stance by jury chairperson Ashutosh Gowariker. Blessy claimed that Gowariker had previously praised the film, even comparing it to the legendary 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia during an Oscar campaign screening in Mumbai."That comment felt like an award in itself. He (Gowariker) even invited me to lunch the next day to discuss the film further, though I couldn't attend as I had to travel that night. If someone appreciated the film in such detail before, how can they dismiss it on technical grounds? This seems like double standards,' Bless the jury's decision, National Awards jury member Pradeep Nair confirmed that Aadujeevitham was indeed under consideration for multiple categories. However, it failed to make the cut during the final discussions. According to Nair, "jury Chairperson Ashutosh Gowariker had seen the movie at a previous film festival in Goa and had serious concerns about the film's adaptation and execution. Gowariker and others also felt the adaptation lacked originality and the performances didn't feel authentic."Another critical blow came in the form of incomplete documentation. The jury stated that the absence of accurate English translations for the film's lyrics, which reportedly cost it nominations in the Best Male Playback Singer and Best Lyrics categories. Despite actor KR Gokul's performance receiving praise from the panel, he was not honoured due to concerns about the film's overall exclusion of Aadujeevitham has sparked strong reactions on social media. Many fans criticised the National Awards process, calling it unfair and inconsistent. Many believe the film's strong visuals, emotional story, and solid performances should have been recognised, especially because of its large-scale the unversed, Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life, was released on March 24, 2024.

Panchayat Actor Faisal Malik Defends Anurag Kashyap's Rants: ‘Imaandaar Aadmi Satak Jata Hai'
Faisal, who began his acting journey with Kashyap's cult film Gangs of Wasseypur, described the filmmaker as someone who's worn multiple hats. Panchayat actor Faisal Malik has come out in strong support of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, offering an empathetic view on the director's often fiery social media posts. In a chat with Siddharth Kannan, Faisal explained that Kashyap's outbursts should be seen not as impulsive tantrums but as passionate reactions of a man deeply invested in the craft of filmmaking. Faisal, who began his acting journey with Kashyap's cult film Gangs of Wasseypur, described the filmmaker as someone who's worn multiple hats including director, writer, producer, showrunner, and poured his heart into every role. 'If you look at Anurag Kashyap's work, you will understand why these outbursts happen. He is extremely loyal. Aur imaandaar aadmi tedha hota hai thoda sa. Satak jata hai," he said, suggesting that Kashyap's honesty and integrity often manifest as emotional reactions. The actor emphasised that Kashyap's commitment to his artistic vision has made him a trailblazer, not just in the kind of stories he tells, but also in the talent he has nurtured. 'He has given several amazing directors to the industry. They are all doing so well today. This proves he is extremely dedicated to cinema," Faisal noted, underscoring that Anurag's influence goes beyond his own filmography. Faisal further added, 'So, whenever someone wrongs him or wants him to compromise with his craft, woh satak jaate hai. When it comes to cinema, he is a great man." Known for his powerful performance as Prahlad in Panchayat, Faisal's own trajectory reflects a deep appreciation for rooted, honest storytelling—values he clearly associates with Kashyap. The web series, which gained popularity during the pandemic, resonated with audiences through its simplicity and emotional depth. Featuring an ensemble cast of Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Jitendra Kumar, and Chandan Roy, Panchayat has become a household favourite and a benchmark for small-town narratives told with heart.

US woman slams influencer for mocking Indian accent in viral video
A social media influencer found herself at the receiving end of the internet after a woman of Indian origin called her out for mimicking the accent of an Indian woman who was arrested for shoplifting in the influencer had recreated the woman's interaction with US police - recorded on a bodycam - where she asked officers if she could pay for the items she was accused of stealing. But the mimicry didn't land well with Cassandra Jerome, an Indian-origin creator, who accused the US-based influencer of casual responded with a video of her own, posted on Instagram, where she expressed her discomfort with the trend of mocking accents, especially when used as the punchline. "I'm not going to sit here on a high horse and say stereotypes can't be funny," she said, adding, "I'm a human being. I have a pulse and a sense of humour. These things can be done tastefully."But her issue lay with how some jokes stripped context and relied solely on how people sounded. 'When people start dying over the Indian accent, I think that's hilarious. It just comes across as so uneducated to me,' she elaborated that while humour involving accents could work if done with intention and awareness, reducing someone's way of speaking to a joke only reflects poorly on the person making it."If the Indian accent is used in a joke that has some context and is done so well that it shocks me, it gets a laugh. But when the punchline is that we sound weird, I have learned something about you. All it tells me is that your worldview has not moved much past your nose. When does it stop being funny?" she also pointed out how common that very accent is, especially for people raised in India. 'Thousands of people around me had that accent. You're 'hehe-ing' and 'haha-ing' over something that's entirely normal to so many people. Expand your horizons and leave us alone. Please,' she the viral video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cassandra Jerome (@casjerome)The video prompted strong reactions from viewers online. Several users supported Jerome's stance and shared their own experiences of being mocked for their accents.'What's interesting is that there are so many variations of Indian accents, but people always go for that one exaggerated version,' said a user. Another user added, 'It's just CRAZY when people want high levels of respect for their culture but show such low respect for others.'advertisementA user shared a personal anecdote: 'I remember getting a ride from this girl in college—her Siri voice was set to an Indian accent. When someone asked why, she said it was funny. That never sat right with me.'One of the users pointed out the deeper irony in the influencer's actions: 'This is crazy because this Black woman has likely faced rejection in some Indian spaces too. And now, she's adding to the confusion and hate by mocking an accent. It has to stop somewhere.''Honestly, every accent is beautiful, Indian, French, Mexican, Chinese, African, Central American. If you're laughing at how someone talks, I think you're just uncultured,' said a user. Cassandra Jerome's video led to a wider conversation around humour, intent, and the need to move beyond lazy stereotypes.- Ends
