The men who owned the National Film Awards 2026 in style

The 72nd National Film Awards showcased not only cinema-related awards but also men’s fashion. Mammootty’s bandhgala kurta and each ensemble brought a clean and sharp edge, proving that men’s fashion is as iconic as women’s. The small details made the awards a wonderful place for those interested in men’s clothing

Kartik Aaryan

Kartik Aaryan looked dapper in his black bandhgala, which was a perfect mix of traditional Indian male wear and contemporary style. The high-neck silhouette was very elegant and added to the stylish quotient, featuring the solid black colour which gave it that much-needed classiness for a night celebrating India’s cinematic excellence. The detail made the overall look fascinating. The shiny golden buttons gave this royal flare to the otherwise very stylish yet simple black outfit. The whiteness of the inner layer peeking out from the collar provided contrast to the otherwise black and golden theme. Lastly, the sleeked-back hair and a trimmed beard added to the elegance of the look.

Dhanush

Dhanush, on the other hand, went for a contrasting choice in fashion and appeared comfortably dressed in South Indian traditional clothing. The actor wore a neat white shirt with a veshti to put together a simple and elegant combination with a traditional touch as well. Neither layering nor excessive styling was present in Dhanush’s outfit. The attire he opted for was nothing but a plain white shirt and veshti. The simplicity of the outfit allowed for the classic silhouette to shine through. A long chain made of beads hanging around the actor’s neck added some personality to the look.

Aditya Dhar

The ‘Article 370’ director opted for a well-structured black bandhgala-styled suit with a tall closed collar with metallic buttons. The well-fitted ensemble gave his outfit a decent and royal look along with a little touch of metallic finish. He made a striking sight in coordinated black fits twinning with his wife, and we just loved it
