I think the award is fine as it is. The Dada Saheb Phalke Award 2025 is meant to recognize figures who shaped public imagination, and actors or directors naturally fit that role better. Let’s be honest—would the average person connect with a name like an editor or a sound designer? Maybe not. But when they hear Mohanlal or Amitabh Bachchan, it creates a sense of national pride. Awards also serve a symbolic function, and giving them to household names helps preserve their prestige. So while I respect the contributions of technicians, I don’t think broadening the criteria will serve the purpose of this particular award.

Answered for the Question: "The Dada Saheb Phalke Award 2025 brings up the debate of whether only actors and directors are recognised more often, while other contributors like scriptwriters, editors, and technicians are sidelined. Should the award criteria be broadened?"
