Honestly, I believe politics overshadows merit in most high-level awards in India, including the Dada Saheb Phalke Award 2025. Think about it—there are dozens of equally deserving filmmakers, technicians, and performers who never get noticed. Yet, the award often goes to already established and safe choices who generate positive headlines. Mohanlal is an excellent actor, no doubt. But why in 2025? Why not earlier? Or why not someone like a legendary editor, cinematographer, or a writer who worked behind the scenes? The timing always makes me wonder if it’s about cultural strategy rather than cinema. So while Mohanlal’s name carries weight, the award itself often feels like a symbolic gesture influenced by politics.
