MUMBAI, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- The Bollywood comedy "Carry on Munna Bhai" was named last year's best film at this weekend's 13th Star Screen award ceremony in India.

The ceremony was held in Mumbai, formerly called Bombay.

The comedy from director Rajkumar Hirani ultimately earned six awards at Saturday's ceremony, including recognition for best story, dialogue and editing, the United News of India reported.

Meanwhile Hrithik Roshan was named the year's top actor for his role in the sci-fi film "Krrish" and Kareena Kapoor won 2006's best actress for her performance in an adaptation of "Othello" entitled "Omkara."
