I don’t buy the argument that the Dada Saheb Phalke Award 2025 is politically motivated. If anything, Mohanlal’s selection proves the jury can still prioritize talent and contribution over political agendas. Unlike Padma awards, which are often handed out based on lobbying, this award has historically gone to undeniable giants of Indian cinema—Amitabh Bachchan, Raj Kapoor, Rajinikanth, Adoor Gopalakrishnan. Mohanlal belongs in that list. If critics keep saying every honour is political, it devalues the achievements of genuine artists. Mohanlal is one of the greatest living actors. His recognition is about cinema, not politics.
