Actors Biju Menon and Joju George shared the best actor award, and senior actress Revathy was adjudged as the best actress in the 52nd Kerala State Film Awards announced here on Friday.
Director Dileesh Pothan was the 'best filmmaker' for 'Joji' while Krishand R K-directed experimental movie 'Avasa vyuham' which revolves around the story of human-nature relationship was declared the ''best film."
Box office hit 'Hridayam', starring Pranav Mohanlal, became the best popular movie, and Jeo Baby-directed 'Freedom Fight' won the special jury mention, Cultural Affairs Minister Saji Cheriyan said while announcing the award.
The jury was headed by Hindi film-maker and script-writer Saeed Akhtar Mirza. As many as 142 movies of different genres competed for various titles, he said.
Mirza said the selection was tough in many categories, especially in the 'best actor' segment in which Menon and George shared the title for their performance in 'Arkkariyam' and 'Nayattu' respectively. George won the title for 'Freedom Fight' too.
Beating many of her tinsel town colleagues, 'Kilukkamm' actress Revathy lifted the best actress title for her role 'Bhoothakalam'.
