Best Adapted Screenplay

Sanjay Leela Bhansali also won the best-adapted screenplay for Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi.

Hearty congratulations to the winners and they’re all well-deserved. One of the most anticipated award categories was the Best Actress one because it was Alia vs Kangana as the latter has always disliked Bhatt for being a nepo-kid. Rajamouli’s RRR also took home the National Film Award in many categories!
