Zee Studios , one of the leading production companies, received dual honours at the 65th National Awards for its critically and commercially successful film Mom , starring the late superstar Sridevi , Nawazuddin Siddiqui , and Akshay Khanna in pivotal roles. The film won National awards in two categories—Best Actress for Sridevi and Best Background Score for AR Rahman .
Zee Studios ' Mom struck the right chord with the audience as it was the late actress Sridevi 's 300th film.

Not only did Sridevi’s stellar performance leave a lasting impact on the audiences, the film is also much loved for its music with AR Rahman taking home the Best Background Score award.
Speaking on the occasion, Sujay Kutty, Business Head- Zee Studios, shared, "It is an honour for us at Zee Studios to be bestowed with two awards this year for Mom, which is a special film for us. We are excited that our film Mom won in both Best Actress and Best Background Score categories. This win further motivates us to continue backing content that we believe in."
