28 feb was the filmfare award nite. though it was not telecast live i kept tab on news channels to report the results. but the news was slow and only the minor awards were announced till midnight when i decided to update on sunday morning.and there ! as i opened the folds of Toi to my disappointment i saw the beaming victorious posture of priyanka chopra ( the way boxers do ). she had won the the best actress trophy for 'fashion 'defeating the deserving Aishvarya Rai.The other upsets were -- 'rock on' winning six awards and 'a wednesday'not winning a single award.
Filmfare are the oldest film awards and therefore has history to boast. over the years film awards such as 'screen ' 'zee ' stardust' have been launched but they too have followed the same pattern . even the national awards are known to be partial and political.
past memories of filmfare's partisan attitude come rushing fore; 'Sachin da' not getting award for 'guide'. Sohan lal kanwar's 'beiman' winning seven filmfare awards.That is why Aamir khan does not attend award function and Dharmendra pore his heart out on being ignored for years when he received the Life time achievement award from Dilip and Saira.Shahrukh stating that he had even brought cash to ensure that he gets awarded for Baazigar; on receiving the trophy.It is no secret that certain groups and camps manipulate and influence Filmfare awards.in the past yashraj films, dharma productions and certain influential superstars have swept the awards leaving many deserving speechless.with 'rock on ' on roll the Akhtar clan has made its presence known in field other than cinema!
the elimination of 'a wednesday ' will remain a matter of discussions for long time, but crowing of shri farhan akhtar as the most promising new comer needs to be rebutted immediately. we must know that people liked 'rock on ' not for the performace of farhan but the manner in which the story was unfolded, for characterization and acting of all actors. farhan too was good but he certainly does not deserve the award. similarly in the role of Jodha Aisvarya was regal to the toe an unexpected great performance, which should have handed the award to her hands down; it was a challenging role. priyanka acted well in a author backed role ;but fell short.
filmfare need to to rework their jury structure ; perhaps make it more broad based; but such blunders will not redeem its notorious past.
