The Filmfare Awards Spark Heated Debate
The 2025 Filmfare Awards have become a major talking point across social media. Many viewers were surprised — and even disappointed — when Alia Bhatt won the Best Actress award for Jigra. Several fans argued that Yami Gautam Dhar (Article 370) and Kriti Sanon (Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya) delivered far more impactful performances.
Moreover, both films earned impressive box office collections and strong IMDb ratings, which further fueled the debate. As a result, the online community began rallying around Yami, insisting she deserved greater recognition.
Fans Say Yami’s Performance Was “National Award-Worthy”
Even months after the release of Article 370, audiences continue to praise Yami Gautam Dhar’s powerful portrayal of an intelligence officer. Her intense yet restrained performance showcased her emotional depth, range, and commitment to her craft.
Many fans believe her work was exceptional enough to deserve the country’s highest cinematic honor. One user wrote, “Filmfare has lost its credibility. Yami Gautam did an amazing job! National Award ka haq banta hai.” Another echoed the sentiment, saying, “She was the only one who could have carried the entire film on her shoulders.”
Social Media Erupts in Support
Meanwhile, hashtags such as #JusticeForYamiGautam, #Article370, and #NationalAwardForYami have been trending across X (formerly Twitter). Fans not only expressed frustration over perceived award bias but also urged the National Film Awards jury to take notice of Yami’s stellar performance.
One viral post stated, “Yami’s performance was the heart of Article 370. The National Award committee should honor true talent.” Another fan commented, “She was robbed this year. Her performance deserves every award possible.”
Yami Prepares for Her Next Role in HAQ
While the Article 370 debate continues online, Yami Gautam is already gearing up for her next big release — HAQ. Inspired by the historic Shah Bano case, the film centers on a woman’s legal battle after her husband abandons her.
Furthermore, the movie promises to be another powerful courtroom drama, with Emraan Hashmi playing a pivotal supporting role. Directed by Subhash Kapoor, HAQ is slated to hit theatres on November 7, 2025, and is expected to deliver yet another gripping performance by Yami.
