  Hey! I think even kamal hassan should have got a award for his extraordinary work done by him.
  ie direction or acting.

  This film should have got awards for Best Music score especially in the Background music, then Art Direction, Cinematography, Editing and Make-up.
  
  Kamal could have got a special best acting award or best director for this movie.

  Actual what you guys saying is true but I wonder why kamal din't get award for best director and actor.Even such a experience Director K.Balachander also appreciated kamal's talent in directing and acting.
  Somehing when wrong.....?

  Hi Guys,
  
  Even the chairman of the selection committee for the awards, Mr. Bhaskar Ghose, also felt that KamalHassan should have got either the Best Director award or Best Actor award, and he openly said that to the media.
  
  It seems that the Sangh Parivar lobby in the selection committee successfully stalled those awards from being given to Kamalhassan.
  
  The reasons are not to find; if you watch 'Hey! Ram', we can easily identify that kamal the writer-director, was making a strong and effective case against religious fundemetalism, and in the process exposed the role of the RSS and the 'Aryan' agenda behind the assassination of M.K. Gandhi.
  
  That's why the same 'Vedic elements' are trying to mock and slander Kamal's efforts to make 'Marudhanaayagam', since that film too, is going to expose the heinous acts of the 'Sanathana' agents and their connivances with the British and other 'Fair coloured' invaders between 17th century - 19th century in the then 'Indian geographical' princely states.
  
  Kamalhassan has always proudly and openly wielded his affinity with the dravidian and rationalist idealogy, which has time and again irked the 'Brahmanical' elements, both in Thamizhnadu and elsewhere.

  Hey Ram would have been a hit if all the characters (including Gandhi) spoke Tamil !!
  Kamal wanted some originality and so as we can see the Tamil dialogs were probably only 60-70% of the total.
  This really affected its box office performance
