Shashwat Sachdev opens up about how he feels after winning his second National Film Award
While in conversation with Variety India, the composer opened up about how great it was to know that he had scored another win with Article 370’, on which he had worked with Aditya Dhar. Commenting about the matter he shared, “Awards are funny. They arrive on one particular day, but they make you revisit so many years at once.”Further on he added that at the time when he received his first National Film Award for ‘URI: The Surgical Strike’ in 2019, he had been extremely “overwhelmed” and at the time he did not know how to take such big news. As he becomes more and more seasoned in the society, Sachdev is all about taking things more lightly. He added, “This time, with ‘Article 370,’ I’m receiving it with a little more stillness and a lot more gratitude.”Sachdev also revealed that he and Dhar celebrated the win and recently talked about the film’s performance at this year’s National Film Award. He stated, “Yes, we spoke. He gave me so much love, which he always does. The first thing he told me was that he truly takes pride in my work.”The famed Bollywood composer’s last big film was the ‘Dhurandhar’ franchise, and many people have been expecting for the film to land a National Film Award next year. When asked about the same, Sachdev joked about the possibility and stated, “And ‘Dhurandhar’ next year? [Laughs] I’ll just smile at that and quietly go back to work.”

Both of the films that landed Sachdev his National Film Awards had been created by Dhar only. During the interview, he openly talked about the filmmaker and shared that, “Aditya is a brother to me, so working with him has always been deeply personal. We have grown through these films together, and to be recognised twice for music that came out of that trust is incredibly moving. Somewhere inside, I still feel like the same boy sitting in a studio, trying to find the most honest note for a scene.”
