Best Dadasaheb Phalke Award nominees as of today - Age 70+
Dadasaheb Phalke Award is the highest honour given to an Indian personality related to cinema. It's not easy to choose one celebrity, as deserving people are many. Many great names have missed the list till now - Kishore Kumar, Rafi, Bimal Roy and many more. But it not at all implies that they were less talented. Definitely they are loved by millions more than Phalke award winners, whom we remember less.
If we take age as the main point, can you find a few deserving persons belonging to Indian cinema? I often feel that South Indian cinema gets less honours, though maximum films in the National award winning category belongs to Malayalam (similar to Bengali). I often feel that the most versatile music director of south Indian cinema - Ilaiyaraaja could have been honoured much earlier. The second person who needs mention is none other than K.J.Yesudas, the singer with maximum number of National awards (7). Can you find a few more?
