This is the fun kind of pressure. Six films. One trophy. And your vote can flip the result. A Viewer’s Choice race does not reward quiet “maybe.” It rewards the film people watched, shared, and argued about at chai breaks.
The 24th Zee Cine Awards 2026 takes place on February 28 and March 1 at the NSCI Dome, Worli, Mumbai. Viewers’ Choice voting stays open from February 11 to February 25. That closing date matters. Vote now. Do not push it to the last minute.
Why Best Film Feels Like A Real Fight This Year
Best Film in a fan vote works like a crowd verdict. One film can win on scale. Another can win on emotion. Another can win because it gave us lines we quote. This nominee list covers every mood—action, history, comedy, romance, heart, and mass entertainment. So the race stays close.
When you vote, think like a fan and like a judge. Ask three simple questions. Did the story hold you? Did the performances feel real? Did the film stay in your mind after the credits? Your answer points to your winner.
Dhurandhar: High-Stakes Action With A Hard Edge
Dhurandhar brings pure intensity. It looks built for speed, danger, and big moments. This kind of film pulls you into a mission and dares you to blink. It runs on craft—tight scenes, strong set pieces, and a hero who carries heat in every frame.
Vote for Dhurandhar if you want your Best Film winner to feel like a full-power action ride.
Chhaava: A Period Epic With Fire And Pride
Chhaava carries the weight of history and the heat of battle. It leans into valour, sacrifice, and grit. Period stories ask for strong scale—costumes, sets, and a hero presence that feels larger than life. They ask for emotion, because a sword fight means nothing if the heart stays cold.
Vote for Chhaava if you want a Best Film winner that feels epic and rooted in legacy.
Jolly LLB: Comedy That Points A Finger And Makes You Laugh
Jolly LLB fights with wit. Courtroom stories work because they mix humour with a real pulse. They seize power. They cheer for the person who refuses to stay silent. In this space, one sharp line can land harder than a slow-motion punch. Voices clash, and papers fly, but the verdict hits its mark.
Support Jolly LLB for comedy, pointed humour, and a battle that wins cheers.
Saiyaara: Romance That Lives In Small Moments
Saiyaara stands for the softer side of cinema. A good love story needs honesty. It needs chemistry that feels real. It leans on music and mood—the kind that makes you hum after and replay scenes in your head. Romance needs risk. The couple must fight time, fear, or fate, and choose each other.
Vote for Saiyaara if you want a Best Film winner that feels tender and driven by heart.
Sitaare Zameen Par: A Team Story With Warmth
Sitaare Zameen Par looks like a film that puts people first. Group stories win when every character matters. The films draw laughs, then touch your heart, then fill you with hope. They stand by one truth: every person belongs, and hidden talent can shine.
Cast your vote for Sitaare Zameen Par if you seek a Best Film choice that feels bright.
Jaat: Mass Energy, Big Hero, Big Moments
Jaat does not whisper. It arrives with power, swagger, and a hero built for big screens. Mass entertainers keep a simple promise: they will not bore you. The film raises clear stakes and drives bold action that pulls cheers from the audience. Fans of classic crowd energy will find this nominee right on target.
Vote for Jaat if you want your Best Film winner to feel like a full celebration.
