  2. B.Hellaro
  3. C.Badhaai Ho
  4. D.Uri

Correct answer

B. Hellaro

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Hellaro. The Gujarati film Hellaro, directed by Abhishek Shah, won the Golden Lotus for Best Feature Film at the 66th National Film Awards for films of 2018.

Hellaro is set in a village of the Kutch desert in the 1970s and tells of a group of women who find freedom through the garba dance, which the village men had forbidden them. It was the first Gujarati film to win the top feature-film honour. The awards were announced in August 2019, and in the same cycle Amitabh Bachchan was chosen for the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for 2018.

A is wrong: Bulbul Can Sing is an Assamese film by Rima Das, not the Best Feature Film winner. C is wrong: Badhaai Ho won the award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. D is wrong: Uri: The Surgical Strike won Best Director for Aditya Dhar and shared Best Actor for Vicky Kaushal.

Exam tip: 66th National Film Awards: Best Feature Film Hellaro (Gujarati); Dadasaheb Phalke Award to Amitabh Bachchan.
