Veteran actor Dharmendra was awarded the Phalke Ratna for his contribution to Hindi cinema over the years.

Rekha presented the award to him.

The Band Baaja Baraat duo-- Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh also recieved awards for their power-packed performances in the film.

While Anushka sizzled in a bright red sari, Ranveer looked dapper in a well-fitted suit.

Actress Sonakshi Sinha won accolades and the award for her debut act in Salman-starrer Dabangg.

Dressed in an Anarkali outfit, the actress turned up with mom Poonam Sinha in tow.

It was perhaps Ranveer Singh's luckiest day since he bagged two awards in one day. The actor was also chosen by his fans for a Jeeyo Bollywood award, presented by UTV Movies and PVR Cinemas.

Director Vikramaditya Motwane won the award for the best directorial debut for his acclaimed film Udaan.  The awards were held at Taj Lands End, Bandra, a western suburb of Mumbai.
