Nominations for 67thWolf777news Filmfare Awards 2022 - Best Film (Critics')
Best Film (Critics') - Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi
(Seema Pahwa)
Death is the great equaliser, as they say. The film offers a hilarious take on the manners and mores of a dysfunctional middle class family dealing with the loss of its patriarch. Though it's broadly a comedy, it still manages to get you emotional as well through its realistic portrayal of relationships.
Best Film (Critics') - Sandeep Aur Pinky Farar
(Dibakar Banerjee)
Dark, convoluted and layered, Dibaker Banerjee sticks to his signature style in plotting the film, in chalking out the characters, their evolution in the plot and the overall culmination of the film. It’s a thriller with a social conscience.
Best Film (Critics') - Sardar Udham
(Shoojit Sircar)
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre has been one of the darkest chapters in Indian history. Sardar Udham tells the story of revolutionary Udham Singh who vowed to avenge the atrocity and twenty years later, finally succeeded in executing his own brand of justice on those responsible for it.
Best Film (Critics') - Sherni
(Amit Masurkar)
Amit Masurkar delves into the daily lives of the forest guards, native guides and forest officials and has shown how they lay camera traps, how they study the pug marks and even the DNA, and how they set the trap to capture, tranquilise and transport the endangered species to a habitat where poachers won’t get to them. All of this looks so real that you feel you’re watching something from National Geographic and not a feature film.
