The sixth Asian Film Festival saw a glittering award ceremony with a heart-rending film Tied Hands from Israel.

In the middle of all the glitz actor Naseeruddin Shah became the fourth recipient of the Zenith Asia Award conferred by Aashay in collaboration with Indira Group of Institutes.

Shah, who received the award from Dr Mohan Agashe reminisced his days at the FTII. He said, "We were alarmed by film fests, as we could see uncensored films." He said he was glad that film buffs today were beyond such attractions and also cautioned that excellence in filmmaking has still not been achieved.
