54 Filmfare Awards 2009 were Film Unfair Awards

The 54 Filmfare Awards 2009 considered to be the most prestigious award in Bollywood industry, with each passing year they are becoming unfair awards. Despite of this Star Screen Awards is gaining credibility in terms of giving awards to people who really matter. Let's have a look at the aspects of Filmfare Awards 2009, which made the awards look unfair:

A movie with much caliber 'A Wednesday' did not win a single Filmfare award; despite the fact that the film had a original story. The best male singer award which went to Sukhvinder Singh for 'Haule Haule' was a suspect. Songs like 'Zara Si dil mei' from K.K for Jannat, 'Pehli Nazar' from Atif Aslam for Race and 'Kabhi Kabhi Aditi' from Rashid Ali for Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na were far more popular in terms of music and singing but were not even noticed.

Most popular performances were given by SRK in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Aamir Khan in Ghajini. Both of them saved the industry from incurring huge losses at recession. But Hrithik Roshan was awarded the best actor award. Was it a fair poll?

IIFA Glamorous Actor Award

The IIFA Glamorous actor of the Year Award was chosen by the viewers, and the winners for this award were Preity Zinta in 2006, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan in 2007.




The glamorous girl Preity Zinta was selected as the first brand ambassador for GoAir, a new airline service owned by Jeh Wadia from Wadia Group and also walked the ramp for Manish Malhotra's display Fashion Week 2006, along with actress Kajol.

Preity Zinta will be seen in Main Aur Mrs Khanna which is expected to release on October 16, 2009. The actress is also shooting for Har Pall which is directed by Jahnu Barua.

In 2005, Harpers and Queen's list of 10 Most beautiful women in the world ranked Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at the 9th spot. The upcoming movies of the actress are Raavan, Action Replay and Guzaarish.

The style icon Hrithik Roshan's upcoming movie titled Kites with Barbara Mori is running under post-production and another film featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Guzaarish will be completed next year.

Jodha Akbar Sweeps all 2009 Film Awards

Jodha Akbar, a love story between one of the greatest Mughal Emperors that ruled Hindustan (India), Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar, and the fiery young Rajput Princess, Jodhaa Bai,is an epic drama that weaves together romance and communal harmony.




Set in the sixteenth century, the movie starts off with a narration by the legendary Indian film actor Amitabh Bachchan, telling the story of the young prince.

Director Ashutosh Gowariker has presented this historical love epic with all the grandeur of the Mughal era. There are majestic palaces, and imposing battle scenes, colorful costumes and imposing jewelry. The film gives audiences three and a half hours of regal extravaganza complete with romance and action, suspense and drama, music and dance.

Hence, Jodha Akbar stole all the awards in the year 2009.

Hrithik Roshan, star of Indian superhero movie Krishh and Dhoom, shows the strong character of Akbar with ease. His tone and commanding presence make him a natural, and the scenes where he fights topless really show his raw strength. He won the IIFA Best Actor Award for his performance.

As Jodhaa, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan clearly shows us why she was once chosen as the most beautiful woman in the world.

The most touching scenes of the movie are the developing relationship between Jodhaa and Akbar. Many a time, these scenes don't have much dialogue, but the eyes do so much of the talking. The on-screen chemistry between Aishwarya and Hrithik is very strong, and they seem like the perfect couple.

The music and songs are a very critical element of any Indian movie, and this is no exception. Double Oscar winner A. R. Rahman won IIFA for Best Background Score, while Javed Akhtar got Best Lyricist and Javed Ali received Best Male Playback Singer award for the song 'Jashn-e-Bahaara'.

The movie swept 10 awards at the recent 10th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards in Macau, taking home trophies for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

IIFA is All Set For The Next Weekend

IIFA all set to celebrate its 10th year in 2009 where and when the biggest and the best from Bollywood will cross the borders to perform, give away and receive awards.
Venue for IIFA Awards 2009

Macau, China is the venue for the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards to be held in the June 11-13 weekend. Despite coming late in the year after Filmfare and Stardust awards,
IIFA is looking forward to mainly because it is just the votes that matter here.

IIFA Founders

Founded by Wizcraft International Entertainment, IIFA neatly sidesteps potential accusations of foul play and partiality thanks to a transparent tie-up with the audit firm Price Waterhouse Coopers.
IIFA Technical Awards Are Done With!

IIFA's technical awards are over and done with and we will have to wait to see that if Hrithik Roshan will score another award for his performance in Jodhaa Akbar as Shah Rukh Khan has always been the king of the popularity stakes. While Abhishek Bachchan has been nominated in three categories, two for the same role in Dostana, his better half, Aishwarya Rai, probably has her fingers crossed for a win over Priyanka Chopra this time. But one guess is only as good as the other.

The process of selecting the winners is not as transparent in a ceremony like, say the Filmfare Awards, as it is in the case of IIFA. So IIFA has certainly taken over other conventional awards now.

IIFA Showmanship

Where showmanship is concerned, IIFA certainly knows how to deliver the best. An international face like Rai's, musical genius like that of A.R. Rahman's and the dogged refusal to give up on songs-for-every-occasion have taken Bollywood to almost every part of
the globe; Wizcraft has systematically created an organised platform for Hindi movies to be lauded globally.

Guest Abode at IIFA

To accomodate its approx. 500 luminaries from tinsel-town, IIFA is befittingly headed to the Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel. This will even boost the tourism in the place. Designed like the city of Venice, the hotel has only suites to offer and a stream of gondolas to saunter
past as you shop. You can even float along in a gondola as your guide sings for you, but at a price. The Cotai Arena, which is the venue for the event, can house up to 6,000 guests.


IIFA Brand Ambassador

For brand ambassador Amitabh Bachchan, the year should hold a special place in his heart as it is his 40th year in the industry as well. But he still has to defend IIFA's position when it comes to accusations that it showcases only Hindi films and does not go pan-Indian.

It is certainly Bollywood that is putting the country's glamorous face forward with its penchant for the glitter and gloss.

Action broadcaster AXN announced the nominees for the AXN Action Awards

The action broadcaster AXN announced the nominees for the AXN Action Awards and the Best Actor category features Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan. In the Best Actor in a Negative Role, Imran Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Kay Kay Menon battle it out for the top spot.

Nominated in the Best Director category are Murgadoss for Ghajini, Ashutosh Gowariker for Jodha Akbar and Abbas Mustan for Race. These three movies are up against each other in the Best Action Film category.

Akshay Kumar who has been nominated for Tashan said, “I am really proud to be nominated for the Best Action Actor for my role in Tashan. I have always been passionate about action as a genre and am happy that AXN Action Awards honour excellence in the field. The action in Tashan has a very edgy and stylish feel to it."

Hrithik Roshan said, “There was a phenomenal amount of training involved in making Jodha Akbar a success. It is great to see the hard work pay off with my nomination at the AXN Action Awards. The magnitude of the battles and the action scenes gave the movie a legendary and historic feel. While the action was not the conventional kind, it is good to see the majestic and noble nature of the action sequences appreciated by AXN.”

Aamir Khan said, “Ghajini is a film that required a lot of aggression that exposes the basic crude emotion of human loss. I am honoured to be nominated by AXN in the ‘Best Action Actor’ category, as the action in Ghajini is more complex and thought provoking, showcasing anger and physical violence. I am pleased that the AXN Action Awards recognises the multifaceted action displayed in Ghajini.”

IIFA Awards to be hosted by Boman Irani and Ritesh Deshmukh

With their inimitable humor, Boman Irani and Ritesh Deshmukh had the audience in splits at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards last year in Bangkok. The duo is all over again set to play hosts to the glitzy cine event that will be held in Macau.
