entertainment π¬ Kishore Kumar book award faces legal heat
The National Film Award for Best Book on Cinema, given to 'Kishore Kumar: The Ultimate Biography', is now facing a court challenge. This legal action was brought by Anant Prasad Sinha in the Patna High Court against the award. The award was given at the 70th National Film Awards on October 8, 2024, two years prior to the challenge. Sinha claims the committee ignored the rules because it is a biography, not strictly a book on Indian cinema. The court has issued notices, and the matter is set for its next hearing on October 8. π§
