Nitesh Tiwari directorial Chhichhore was honoured with the Best Hindi Feature Film award at the 67th National Film Awards ceremony, which took place on Monday in Delhi. The team celebrated the win and dedicated the award to late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who died in 2020.

“Bhai is sharing this moment of pride with all of us, he is present with us in spirit #NationalFilmAwards Thank You! 🙏 It makes my chest swell with pride to see the award being dedicated to Bhai. Thanks and congratulations to the whole team of #Chhichhore,” she tweeted.
During the National Awards ceremony, Nitesh Tiwari remembered Sushant and called him “an integral part” of the film. “Sushant is an integral part of our film. He made us proud. We are dedicating this award to him,” he said. Earlier this year, the director spoke to indianexpress.com and said winning the award was a “pleasant surprise.”
“It comes as a pleasant surprise actually. We weren’t expecting it at all. We are filled with mixed emotions because on one hand there is the happiness of getting a win and on the other hand there’s the feeling of loss of someone I was very close to. But I am sure Sushant would be very happy with this win wherever he is,” he told.
The producers also remembered Sushant Singh Rajput as Sajid Nadiadwala received an honour at the National Awards ceremony.
