It was a night to forget differences and bond together to celebrate and reward a year of hard work as the who’s who of the film industry – including Shahrukh Khan , who still has his arm in a sling – gathered together at Mumbai’s Yashraj Studios. Interestingly, SRK and Gauri Khan took seat next to the Bachchans . Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor sat with Rekha .
THE HOSTS:
Hosts Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan rocked the night with their wit, humour and chutzpah. Imran mimicked mamu Aamir Khan by going bare-chest in the Ghajini style and writing the awards on his chest. Ranbir spoofed SRK’s act from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
The two young hosts also argued about who among them would be the next superstar. Ranbir told Imran: “Bura mat manna, lekin log tera naam sun kar Aamir Khan ke baare mein sochte hain”. To which Imran replied: “aur tera naam soch kar Sonam Kapoor ke baare mein sochte hain”. Even as the two stars argued, Darsheel Safary ( Taare Zameen Par ) emerged on stage and proclaimed himself as the next superstar.
Segments of the show were also hosted by Karan Johar , Konkona Sen Sharma and Deepika Padukone .
PERFORMANCES:
The most sterling performance of the evening came from Farhan Akhtar , who sang rock numbers from his film Rock On . Katrina Kaif performed to a medley of her songs while Neil Nitin Mukesh took the stage with Bipasha Basu. Shahid Kapur impressed with his energetic dance performance; Abhishek Bachchan was cool-as-a-cucumber as he got jiggy with a bunch of babes on the tunes of “Maa Da Ladla”.
EMOTIONAL MOMENTS:
The most emotional moment of the night was when Arjun Rampal accepted the award for the Best Supporting actor for his performance in ‘Rock On’. Overwhelmed by emotion, the actor choked on his words and broke down.
Another charged up moment was when Shahrukh Khan took the stage and raved about the success of Slumdog Millionaire and particularly of A R Rahman and Resul Pookutty at the Oscars. Rahman was present at the function with a few kid stars of ‘Slumdog’.
The evening itself began on a patriotic note with the playing of the National Anthem.
