India's hopes at the 53rd International Emmy Awards ended without a win as Imtiaz Ali's Amar Singh Chamkila lost in both categories it was nominated for. The Netflix biopic, based on the life of the legendary Punjabi singer who was murdered in the 1980s, competed in the Best TV Movie/Mini-Series category but the award went to the British drama Lost Boys and Fairies. Lead actor Diljit Dosanjh, who portrayed the titular character, was nominated for Best Performance by an Actor but lost to Spanish actor Oriol Pla for his role in Yo, adicto. The awards ceremony took place on Monday night in New York City. Diljit and director Imtiaz Ali walked the red carpet earlier that evening, accompanied by Netflix India executives. The film had received widespread praise for its performances, direction, and AR Rahman's music.
Both nominations end without wins for Indian entry
The ceremony held in New York City on Monday night saw Amar Singh Chamkila competing against Germany's Herrhausen: The Banker and the Bomb, the UK's Lost Boys and Fairies, and Chile's Vencer o Morir. The British drama about a gay couple's adoption journey won the Best TV Movie/Mini-Series category. Meanwhile, Diljit Dosanjh competed for Best Actor alongside David Mitchell for Ludwig, Oriol Pla for Yo, adicto, and Diego Vasquez for One Hundred Years of Solitude. Oriol Pla claimed the trophy for his portrayal of a recovering drug addict. The film starred Parineeti Chopra as Amarjot Kaur, the singer's wife and musical partner, and was widely appreciated for its storytelling and soundtrack.
