The 2025 Best Actor debates are a three-way duel: Kartik Aaryan vs Sparsh Srivatsav vs Abhishek. Fans say the outcomes reveal industry power more than craft, with Dharma Productions and Filmfare headlines fueling the chatter. [1]
Best Actor debates – Posts argue Sparsh Srivatsav should have won joint Best Actor with Kartik Aaryan; others insist Abhishek deserved it, challenging the nepotism narrative. The conversation leans on Sparsh’s pitch-perfect performance vs Kartik’s body-transformation approach. [1][2]
Dharma factor – The central gripe isn’t just nepotism; critics say Dharma Productions’ film slate—family dramas and rom‑coms—has long shaped awards. Threads point to Karan Johar acknowledging misfires and the studio’s experimental plays like Jigra, Brahmastra, and Kill. [3]
Filmfare narratives – A prominent thread claims Filmfare is effectively aligned with Dharma; Alia Bhatt is repeatedly highlighted as a winner, fueling talk that ceremony outcomes ride with the production house’s politics. [4]
Nepotism thread – Ranbir Kapoor emerges as a touchpoint in nepotism chatter, with fans dissecting how privilege and career choices color public perception and awards talk. [5]
