This Children’s Day, we look at some of the most memorable child actors who received the National Film Award for Best Children’s Film. The members of the award committees say that it is the realistic portrayal of the character that they look for in the nominees. Over the years, Rishi Kapoor in Mera Naam Joker, Shafiq Syed in Salaam Bombay!, and Talha Ahmed Reshi in Hamid have won the award in this category.
Talking about the selection of these artists, CBFC member Vani Tripathi Tikoo says, “In my experience of 15 years of theatre, what I have understood is that children arenatural performers. When the jury judges a film, they do not judge the child actor but the character. They want to find out how realistic the character is, how much does the character move you. And if the screenplay does justice to the characterisation. ”
