Zaira received the Critics’ award for best actor (Female) for Secret Superstar, while the movie has also received the best actor in a Supporting Role (Female)  Meher Vij for Secret Superstar.

Meghna Mishra won the Best Playback Singer (Female) for the song Nach Di Phira, which is composed by Amit Trivedi and the lyrics are penned down by Kausar Munir.

The movie Secret Superstar has also pocketed Rs. 174 crore in the opening weekend beating Zaira’s Dangal’s opening weekend record in China from May last year.

“Secret Superstar packs a solid punch in its opening weekend in China. Close to Rs. 175 crore in three days.” The opening weekend collection of Secret Superstar in India was merely Rs. 30 crore. For Secret Superstar, which was made on a budget of Rs. 15 crores, this is as Taran Adarsh puts it: “Mind-boggling indeed,” an Indian film critic and journalist Taran Adarsh also wrote on Twitter.
