New Delhi: Filmmaker Maneesh Sharma, who collected the Best Hindi Film National Award for his production Dum Laga Ke Haisha at the 63rd National Film Awards in New Delhi on Tuesday, said that it feels honouring and humbling to receive such a prestigious award.

"It feels great. It feels very humbling and honouring. It just feels great (on receiving National Award)," Mr Sharma told IANS.

When asked if he ever thought the film will receive so many awards, he said: "I think we (our team) somewhere knew we had an honest film in hand. I didn't know whether it's going to win many awards. But now that it happened it's very reassuring and exciting."
