72nd National Film Awards: Why 2024 Films Are Being Honoured in 2026
The 72nd National Film Awards are being held in 2026, recognising films that belong to the 2024 eligibility cycle. Notable titles among the honourees include Article 370, Bramayugam, Chandu Champion, and Stree 2. The apparent two-year gap between a film's release and its recognition is a result of how the awards' eligibility periods, jury evaluation process, and ceremony timelines are structured. Films are assessed based on a defined calendar year of release, after which a jury process is conducted before the ceremony is scheduled. This means a film released in 2024 completing the full evaluation cycle only receives its award at a ceremony held in 2026.
