56th FilmfarCe Awards

All that shines is Gold and all that is glossy is fine cinema. -Jury members of Filmfare awards

Highlights of the 56th Filmfare Awards:

  • Piggy Chops showed off her amazing curves dancing to the songs of the only diva of Indian movie industry- Madhuri Dixit.
  • The frame was perfect and almost all my dreams came true when 3 of my dream girls- Desi Girl, Dhak Dhak Girl and 50 kg Tajmahal were in the same frame.
  • Kareena was scorching hot and it will be a treat to everyman's eyes by next year as her clothes gets reduced to Size Zero with her body growing to Size 4.
  • Katrina was seen laughing at many Hindi jokes which obviously she never understood.
  • Sonakshi was asked to promise that she will not expose till the script demands. I am wondering which script in Bollywood has not demanded actresses to expose?
  • Farah Khan did the Munni dance when Sheila won the award for Best Choreography. Very evident that she was trying to keep Arbaaz happy, coz she needs to choreograph for Dabanng-2 too.
  • And then it was ceremoniously and unanimously decided to rename Filmfare Awards as Film FarCe awards from next year after the jury members decided to give away the main awards to the following:
  • Best Director: Karan Johar…..My name is Karan and direction is not my cup of tea…sorry not my cup of Koffee.
  • Best Actor: Shahrukh Khan…..My name is Kh kha kha kha Khan (from the epiglottis) and I am a bakra in disguise.
  • Best Actor: Kajol…..Were the jury sleeping when Ishqiya was released?
  • Best Movie: Dabangg…..Chulbul Pandey ne Jury members mey itne ched kardiye ke woh conphuzz ho gaye ki soche kahaan se aur paade kahaan se.
  • Best Scene: Golmaal 3 (mirchi scene)…..Mirchi and cactus needs to be shoved all the way up of Jury members arse.
  • Best Special Effects: (NOT GIVEN)…..Was ROBOT released in 2011 for not getting the award?
  • Best Action: Vijayan Master (Dabangg)…..Jury members haven’t heard of a movie called “Transporter 1” from where all the action sequences for Dabangg were lifted.
  • And in the end jury members decided to save their face, which incidentally looks like their arse, and gave few of the awards to the truly deserving.

The Filmfare Awards are presented annually to supposedly honour both artistic and technical excellence of professionals in the Hindi language film industry of India. But in reality Filmfare is all about REVEALING the Abundant Talent overflowing from the undersized clothes of the leading ladies in Hindi Movie industry. I watch this show diligently every year hoping Filmfare never realizes their mistake and continue to showcase this abundant talent available in our country. I would rather write more about glamour and less about the awards at Filmfare which is getting renamed as FILM FARCE awards from next year.

It has been 57 years since Filmfare awards were initiated and Bollywood is yet to learn that movies with the best storyline and great acting deserve awards and not just the box office results. Filmfare in South are way ahead in rewarding the best than their counterparts in north. Check Kanchivaram (Tamil), Pazhassi Raja (Malayalam), Eddelu Manjunatha (Kannada).

With just few weeks away from Oscars, forget the Khans and their Khandaans, enjoy pure creativity and the art of story telling and display of some of the best acting skills on the silver screen by Colin Firth, James Franco, Danny Boyle, Javier Bardem, Natalie Portman, Christopher Nolan, David Fincher, Lee Unkrich.

Preparation for next year's Oscars: With Aamir Khan's Peepli [Live] not getting recognized in India or at the Oscars, it was decided to send Salman Khan's Dabangg-2 next year for the Oscars. Abhinav Kashyap wrote the story for Dabangg-2 within 60 seconds of the announcement (25 seconds faster than Dabanng-1). Karan and Shahrukh (who realised his name was Khan last year) announced to do My Name Is Khan-2(too) to give competition to Dabangg-2. And Sajid Khan was heard shouting "Kisika baap mera Housefull-2 ko Oscar jaane se nahin rokh sakta" as V V Chopra tried to calm everyone down by shouting "Shut Up" ,"Shut Up" ,"Shut Up".
