  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

A contemporary adaptation of the Indian folktale Baital Pachisi, the film follows Vikram, a police inspector who is decisive about good and evil, and the head of an encounter unit which is formed to track down and kill Vedha, a gangster. When the unit makes plans for another encounter, Vedha walks into the police station and voluntarily surrenders himself. He then tells Vikram three stories which bring about a change in the latter's perceptions of right and wrong.[6][7]

Produced on a budget of ₹110 million (about US$1.7 million in 2017),[8][9] Vikram Vedha was released on 21 July 2017 and received positive reviews.[3][7][10] It was commercially successful, grossing ₹600 million (about US$9.0 million in 2017) worldwide.[9][11] The film won 19 awards from 46 nominations; its direction, screenplay, music, and the performances of Madhavan, Sethupathi and Varalaxmi have received the most attention from award groups.
