The winners of the 67th National Film Awards are out and the big news is that Kangana Ranaut has won her third National Award for Best Actress (after Queen and Tanu Weds Manu Returns), this time, jointly, for Panga and Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, and her fourth overall, factoring in her Best Supporting Actress victory for Fashion. She's now only trails Shabana Azmi (5) among actors with the most National Awards, and is tied fourth with Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan (if you take into account the latter's one triumph as a producer). Chhichhore, Manoj Bajpayee, Asuran and Dhanush were the other big victors of the National Awards 2021.
