The much delayed National Awards for 2005 were finally announced. Tamil films garnered a few awards too.
Cheran got a double treat as two of his films won honours. Thavamai Thavamirundhu won the award for the best film that highlighted family values and Aadum Koothu (which he produced and acted opposite Navya Nair) won the best Tamil film award. The film was made especially for awards and the festival circuit.
Another Tamil film, Sringaram, won the award for best music by Lalgudi Jayaraman. The film is directed by Sharada Ramanathan.
