Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra won filmfare awards for best actor, actress in 2009

Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra won filmfare award for best actor, actress in 2009.

Hrithik Roshan had won the filmfare award for best actor in 2009 for his brilliant performance in the film Jodha Akbar. He won it for the fourth time. He won filmfare award for best actor previously for films like Kahona Pyar Hai, Koi Mil Gaya, Dhoom 2, etc. He had done a brilliant work and deserved the award. But some of the critics raised eyebrows in respect of Amir Khan not getting filmfare award even after brilliant performance in the film Ghajini.

Priyanka Chopra rightly got the best actress award for her brilliant performance in the film Fashion. In fact the team of Fashion won a number of awards. Kangana Ranaut got the filmfare award for best actress for her performance in the film Fashion. Arjun Rampal won the best supporting award for the film Rock On.

AR Rehman again won the award for best composer for the film Jane Tu Ya Jane Na. It was a bit strange. He had given even better music for the film Jodha Akbar, Yuvvraaj and Ghajini. Pritam, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Vishal-Shekhar had very bad luck as their music in the films Race, Rock On and Dostana were very popular and entertaining. AR Rehman got it for the 8th time. He is on the way to break Shankar- Jaikishan’s record for winning the filmfare award for 9 times.

Javed Akhtar won the best lyricist award for the lyrics of the song “jashn-e-bahara” from the film Jodha Akbar. Sukhwinder Singh won the best male playback singer unnecessarily for the song “haule haule” from the film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Sonu Nigam sang a much better song “in lamhon ke” in the film Jodha Akbar. Similarly Shreya Ghoshal won the best female playback singer award for the song “teri ore” from Singh is Kinng, ahead of Alka Yagnik for the song “tu muskura” in the film Yuvvraaj.

Ashutosh Gowarikar won the best director award for the film Jodha Akbar. Jodha Akbar was even adjudged the best film of the year. Bhanu Attaiya and Om Puri won the lifetime achievement award. Om Puri deserved it 10 years back. Other than Nasirruddin Shah no other had shown the level of verstality that Om Puri had shown in both commercial films and parallel cinema.

Farhan Akhtar won the best male debutant award for the film Rock On. Imran Khan won the same award for the film Jane Tu Ya Jane Na. Asin won the best female debutant award for her performance in the film Ghajini.

Sahana Goswami won the jury award for best actress for the film Rock On. Manjit Singh won the jury award for best actor for the film Oye Lucky Lucky Oye.

It has been seen in the past that Filmfare award has done injustice to many actors actresses composers singers in the past as well. Bhupinder Singh never received any filmfare award for best singer. Madanmohan never received filmfare award for best composer. Dharmender, Jeetender, Rajender Kumar, Pradeep Kumar never received best actor award. Whereas, Shahrukh Khan won the award for 7 times. So it is not surprising that Amir Khan’s brilliant work in Ghajini, Sonu Nigam’ brilliant singing in Jodha Akbar, Alka Yagnik’s brilliant singing in Yuvvraaj, Pritam’s music in Singh is Kinng and Race, went unrewarded. For the winners the awards can give motivation for better work. For others they should concentrate on better work, because filmfare awards are given through public choice and it is not award which is chosen by experts.

Farhan Akhar has acting talent

Farhan Akhtar has acting talent.

Farhan Akhtar, the young director, has already shown his skills in direction in the last few years. Generally it has been seen some of the directors of bollywood industry had acting skills themselves. Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt were established actors themselves and passion towards direction persuaded them to make landmark films. Even directors like Subhash Ghai , Rakesh Roshan had featured in many films.

Farhan Akhtar amused the viewers with his innovative direction in films like Don. He took a grand risk. No other director would have a film on the same subject like Don and with the same title. In the late 70s, when Big B storm affected Kashmir to Kanyakumari, Don made the viewers crazy about bollywood films. Superstar Shahrukh Khan played the same role with a modernized style.

The story was also twisted and Priyanka Chopra and Boman Irani were given challenging roles in the new version of Don. The music of Don, composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy flabbergasted the viewers with hit sons like “maurya maurya”, “aaj ki raat”, “khaike paan banaraswala”, etc. Even the shooting in Malaysia and other dynamic locations impressed the viewers. The entire credit goes to Farhan Akhtar.

Farhan Akhtar showed his acting skills from Rock On and had a great job in the film Luck By Chance. Very significantly Farhan Akhtar showed the struggle of a newcomer in bollywood industry with his simple style of acting. He did not show any mannerisms. He showed the crude reality existing in bollywood industry. Had any professionally actor acted in the film Luck by Chance, the actor would have overacted and the performance would have brought in larger than life image.

The viewers should also have an improved mentally of appreciating the performance of realistic actors liked Farhan Akhtar. The film should be watched by the viewers and appreciated. Most of the actors and actresses of the present film industry are the products of brilliant direction of eminent directors. If they had not given proper guidance the efforts of the actors and actresses would have gone in vain.

Farhan Akhtar showed continue his acting even more in future films. Sohail Khan, the brother of Salman Khan was also initially interested in production of films rather than direction. Presently he had shown his skills in acting. He had complimented Salman Khan in films like Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya and God Tussi Great Ho.

Farhan Akhtar is an asset for the industry and the viewers expect better performance from him in the years to come.
