Andhadhun and Tummbad have won 6 roaring lions each but, Sriram Raghavan has won the Best Director award for Andhadhun. Raazi has won 5 roaring while Sanju has won 3.
Power Brands Bollywood Film Journalists Awards are the only awards in the country:
>Where more than twenty of the leading film journalists of this country do an open ballot voting for all categories and disclose who they voted for online
>Where awards are given irrespective of the winners presence as they are declared a fortnight in advance at least.
>Where the runners up are also awarded with the title of associate winners
>There are no nominations and journalists are free to give any one their vote amongst the films released last year.
Basically it’s the only credible awards in the country and for the same it has garnered huge appreciation, though still only in its 3rd year.
