Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Chak De India' bagged the national award in the Wholesome Entertainment Category, while Aamir Khan-directed 'Taare Zameen Par' won the award in Family Welfare Category.

Playback singer Shankar Mahadevan won the award for the song "Maa" in the film 'Taare Zameen Par', while Prasoon Joshi won the award for the Best Lyrics for the same song.

Filmmaker Sai Paranjpe headed the jury for feature film category, documentary filmmaker Ashoke Viswanathan chaired the jury for the non-film category and writer Namita Gokhale chaired the jury for best writing on Indian films.

The winners were selected from among 102 films and 106 non-feature films.

Sources in the ministry said though the list had been finalised last week, the announcement was deferred due to the death of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S R Reddy.
