Accolades

[edit]

In early 2026, the Government of Tamil Nadu announced the Tamil Nadu State Film Awards for films released between 2016 and 2022. Sandakari won in three categories in the 2020 batch: Best Film (Third Prize), Best Male Playback Singer (Amresh Ganesh), and Best Art Director (Ayyappan).[8] This led to netizens questioning under what criteria the film qualified since it had yet to receive a theatrical release.[9]
