A great scam has been exposed .. The so called secularist and anti-Modi campaigner Dibakar Banerjee has reportedly returned the National Film Award 2007.
The film Khosla Ka Ghosla was selected as the best film by the National award Jury in 2007. The movie was produced by Savitha Raj Hiremath and the award was for the producer.
Dibakar Banerjee returned the award won by Hiremath and claimed that he was returning the "award" to protest the "intolerance" of the Modi regime. The Best Film Award goes to the Producer of the Movie and not to the Director.
Dibakar Banerjee had directed another movie "Oye Lucky" which won the best movie award in 2009. But there is no declaration of his returning of this award as the producer is a Multi national corporation.
This was pointed out by film actor Anupam Kher in a TV chanel discussion on November 3, 2015. He also said that he was booed down by a crowd consisting of Shoba De, the lead campaigner against Modi, for speaking in support of Modi at the NCPA in Mumbai.
How can someone return an award which he never got and only the producer got?
