Don't gt me wrong, this is the 1st time iam hearing of jury members were headed by assamese filmmaker. Although, i am a tamilian and i only know all south indian films and hindi films. Not even heard of assamese films often.
I have heard of assamese films, rarely like sinhalese cinema(sri lanka), but not often as bengali cinema or south indian cinema as is often heard in india other than bollywood.
So the winners were really unexpected. Since ore kadal ws more sucess than paradesi, hope tht mammootty will win best actor award. I also expectd paradesi to win best film, but the film that won was a suprise.
I also liked tht nallu pennugal won awards, but dissapointed tht geetu mohandas did not win for nallu penugal or for thakarachenda possibly for best actress. But meera deserved it more than geetu mohandas though.
