Interestingly folks on Twitter and other social media are raising complaints against the awards and says there is great deal of similarity between the National Awards winners of 2016 and the Filmfare Awards winners, and that has raised some eyebrows.

Most of the National Award winners this year (entertainment section) are mainstream commercial movies and stars, while on the other side, regional and art films were apparently not paid much attention. Like the Filmfare Awards 2016 was called "fake" by a certain sections of people, the 63rd National Awards has also been tagged with similar adjectives.

But my view is that you can't please everyone, even if they are 100% genuine, there will haters. And being such a big event, this I think all normal.
