Many of the Tamil Nadu State Awards announced seem to be justified but there are obviously some that doesn’t make much sense. While random actors have received best actor award for films that were more commercial than poetic, the technicians have missed to get awards as well.

Expressing his displeasure over the choice of selection, director Suseendhiran in a letter said that he is not happy with the fact the TN State Awards committee didn’t pick Azhagar Saamyin Kudhirai which won so many awards when it got released. Similarly, the stunt choreographers of Naan Mahan Alla also deserved special mention but no awards were given to them as well.
