Star Plus will telecast the Annual Starscreen awards 2011 on 22nd January, 2011, (Saturday). Dabaang again swept across Starscreen awards. Salman Khan received the best actor award for his epic performance in the film Dabaang. Salman Khan had very bad luck in respect of receiving awards. He had not received any filmfare award or starscreen award for the best actor inspite of giving blockbusters one after other like Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hai Kaun, Wanted, etc. At last viewers are happy that Salman Khan had received Starscreen award for the best actor.

Vidya Balan in the recent times is emerging out as another potentially powerful actress like Dimple Kapadia or Tabu. She won the best actress award for her brilliant performance in the film Ishqiya. Arshad Warsi won the award for the best supporting actor for his performance in the film Ishqiya. He had the hard task to balance the powerful performance of Naseeruddin Shah and Vidya Balan. Shernaz Patel won the award for the best supporting actress for her brilliant performance in the film Guzarish.

Sajid Wajid had won the best composer award for their splendid music composed in the film Dabaang. They had done great job in other films like Veer, Tumko Bhoola Na Payenge, Wanted, etc., but never got the reward for their great work. They really deserved it. Shankar Ehsaan Loy also won the Starscreen award the best composer for their composition of music in the film My Name is Khan. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan received the award for the best singer for the song “takte rehte jisko saanjh sawere” in the film Dabaang. He sang the other song “sajda” in the film My Name is Khan equally well. Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal sang the duet song “tune to palbhar me chori kiya re jiya” in the film Dabaang extremely well. There is only one award, so Sonu Nigam lost it to Rahat Fateh Ali in 2011. Shreya Ghoshal won the award for the best female singer for the song “bahara” in the film I hare Luv Stories.

The awards did justice to most of the aspiring candidates in bollywood films in 2011.

Starscreen awards do not prove excellence.

Starscreen awards do not prove excellence.

Starscreen awards were given in 2010. Although some good awards were given for the performance of films in 2010, Some of the other categories surprised the viewers.

Raj Kumar Hirani received the best director award for his film The Three Idiots. The film did business of more than 100 crores and the best director award was justified. The Three Idiots was also adjudged the as best film.

But to everyone’s surprise AR Rehman received the award for the best composer for the music of the film Delhi 6. The film’s music was very ordinary compared to the music of the films Saathiya or Roza, etc. On the other hand Pritam having nominations in three films did not receive any award. In fact the film Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani did great business due to the brilliant music of Pritam. It is very strange that Sonu Nigam did not receive a nomination for the best singer inspite of singing brilliantly the song “zubi zubi” in The Three Idiots. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan received the best singer award. Shantonu Moitra did not receive even a nomination for his music in the film The Three Idiots. Kavita Seth also won the best female singer award surpassing Shreya Ghoshal to everyone’s surprise.

Amitabh Bacchan and Vidya Balan won the best actor and actress award for the film Paa. These days Big B wins awards due to only his brand name. It is very sad. Ranbir Kapoor did not win best actor award inspite of giving versatile performances in the films Wake Up Sid and Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani. Salman Khan was not there is the nomination also inspite of Wanted doing a business of more than 70 crores. Vidya Balan is a very natural actress. But in respect of her box-office, she is neither a competitor of Priyanka Chopra, nor Katrina Kaif, nor Kareena Kapoor. These days it has been a fashion that the moment an actress acts in a film with Big B or Abhishek Bacchan, she automatically wins an award.

Starscreen thinks that Shahrukh Khan requires an award even if he does not perform in any particular film. None of his films were released this year. Yet he won the award for the Jodi of the decade with Kajol. Similarly Big B and Abhishek Bacchan won the award for the best Jodi. These days it has been a fashion to give best awards to two male performers. Raj Kapoor Nargis, or Dilip Kumar Vaijayantimala would have fainted to see the best Jodi award. Boman Irani’s award for best villain for The Three Idiots is well justified. Also Omi Vaidya’s award for the best comedian is well justified.

Rishi Kapoor’s award for the best supporting actor in the film Luck By Chance is well justified. At the same time Sharman Joshi and R Madhavan should have an award in some category for their best performance in the film The Three Idiots. Neither the awards proven any level of excellence, nor the awards show popularity. Kareena Kapoor won the award the most popular actress for her performance in the film The Three Idiots. Katrina Kaif won the best entertainer award.

If filmfare also follows the same trend it will be a very sad precedent. The awards do not mean anything when stalwarts like Om Puri or Naseeruddin Shah are neither nominated nor receive anything, the hit films like Wake Up Sid, or Wanted, or Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani are left behind.

Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra won Starscreen awards.

Hrithik Roshan won the starscreen best actor award and Priyanka Chopra won the starscreen best actress award for their performance in bollywood films for the year 2008. Hrithik Roshan won it for the film Jodha Akbar and Priyanka Chopra won it for the film Fashion.

Hrithik Roshan had been considered as the most stylish Indian actor who had all the potentiality required to perform in Hollywood films. When he played a historical role of Akbar, the viewers were mesmerized with his royal style of performance. He was appreciated for his acrobatic stunts in the films Dhoom 2 and Krissh previously and this award will also go a long way in his acting career.

Priyanka Chopra had dominated bollywood films in 2008 with a number of releases like God Tussi Great Ho, Love Story 2050, Chamku, etc. She got the award for her dynamic performance in the film Fashion. She amazed the viewers with her various expressions in Madhur Bhandarkar’s experimental film.

Tushar Kapoor bagged the best supporting actor’s award for his performance in the film Golmaal Returns. He acted in a dumb role, but his expressions made the people laugh in the halls. Sahana Goswami got the best supporting actress award for her performance in the film Rock On.

Akshay Kumar got the Nokia Popular Viewer’s choice award for his performance in the film Singh is Kinng. Aishwarya Rai got the same award for her performance in the film Jodha Akbar. To everyone’s astonishment Akshay Kumar dedicated the award to Amir Khan for his dynamic performance in the film Ghajini.

Farhan Akhtar won the best debut male actor for his performance in the role rock on. Asin won the best debut female actress for her performance in the film Ghajini.

Ashutosh Gowarikar won the best director award for the film Jodha Akbar. Neeraj Pandey won the same award for the film A Wednesday. Both the films had very high standard of story telling and both the directors deserved the award. Jodha Akbar was adjudged as the best film of the year 2008.

AR Rehman won the award for the best background music in the film Jodha Akbar. To the astonishment of the viewers Priyanka Chopra was not present in the award ceremony, while Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai, Akshay Kumar appeared for the awards.

It is interesting to see whether the same stars would get the filmfare awards for the same category which will be announced later this year.
