Nagesh Kukunoor's 'Dhanak' Bags Award At The Berlin Film Festival

Acclaimed filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor now has one more feather to add to his cap. Nagesh's latest directorial venture Dhanak, which revolves around a 10-year-old girl and her blind brother, bagged the Grand Prix of the Generation Kplus International Jury award for the best feature-length film at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival.

The film's official Twitter page reads, ''We win the Grand Prix for Best Feature film in Generation Kplus at @berlinale!'' On his part, producer Manish Mundra took to his Facebook page to write, ''Wow!!! Thank you God!! Our film Dhanak has won the Grand Prix for the Best Feature Film!! And a special mention !!! Happy times. Thank you Nagesh Kukunoor!!! Thanks to everyone involved in this beautiful lovely film. More Power to Us. :))''

This is second time in a row that an Indian film has won this award. In 2014, it was 'Killa' by Avinash Arun that won the Generation K Plus International Jury Grand Prix and a special mention by the Children's Jury.
