BEST SERIES

SCOOP

HANSAL MEHTA WITH SARITA PATIL AND DIKSSHA JYOTE ROUTRAY

Scoop was based on the infamous Jigna Vora case.

The former journalist was falsely implicated as having a hand in the murder of crime journalist J Dey and was sent behind bars.

She kept fighting the system and finally got herself cleared of all the charges.

The series offered a fictional account of the proceedings and gave us a 360 view of it without distorting facts. It was as hard-hitting as a documentary and made for compelling viewing.

BEST DIRECTOR SERIES

JUBILEE

VIKRAMADITYA MOTWANE 

Jubilee goes down memory lane towards the golden era of Bollywood.
