The directorial debut of theatre personality Nipun Dharmadhikari, Dhappa, won the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Film on National Integration. Amar Deokar’s directorial debut, Mhorkya, won two awards — Best Children’s Film as well a Special Jury Mention for actor Yasharaj Karhade.

With so many awards and accolades coming his way, I am sure Oak’s dream run has just began. Here’s wishing him all the best for all the projects that he wishes to undertake and who do hope that he gets the same amount of love and encouragement that he has got for his one.
