While I'm happy for SRK, I feel the National Awards should recognize more regional cinema talents too. Bollywood already gets enough limelight. What about Mollywood or Tollywood actors doing brilliant work?

The father-son scenes in Jawan made me cry so much! 😭 SRK's emotional performance was next level. Atlee captured the perfect mix of mass and class. Can't wait for their next collaboration!

Chaleya song was the soul of the movie! Shilpa Rao's voice gave me goosebumps. Glad she got recognized too. The whole Jawan team deserves this success after such hard work.

As an NRI, Jawan made me so proud of Indian cinema! The action sequences were Hollywood level but with that special SRK charm. Atlee-SRK combo is pure gold. More such pan-India films please!
