Here’s how the disappointed Twitterati reacted to it:

I like akshay sir. He is a great performer. But him getting a national award for Rustom is a joke. #NationalFilmAwards #NationalAwards

We know that Akshay Kumar has mastered the art of acting. Over the years, he has transformed into a big actor and this award is well deserving for him. But the question raises here, Is Rustom was his best performance? I know, many people will not agree with it, as he has performed way better in Special 26 and Baby. Even, fans think that Akshay Kumar performance doesn’t stand anywhere near to Aamir’s Dangal. Akshay never won any IFFA award or best actor award in Filmfare, but surprisingly he got it at the 64th National Awards.
