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.

The 3 idiots will beat Ghajini's record.

The 3 idiots will beat Ghajini’s record.

Raj Kumar Hirani’s film The 3 idiots will break Ghajini’s record. Amir Khan’s Ghajini did the best business in December, 2008, earning more than Rs 200 crores. The 3 idiots being released exactly one year later, on 25th December, 2009, had earned Rs 30 crores within first 3 days, so has the indication of breaking Ghajini’s record.

Amir Khan took the moto of acting in less number of films but better films like Dilip Kumar. His philosophy is working to a big extent. The type of anxiousness exhibited by Amir Khan in The 3 idiots had amazed the viewers. On the first day of engineering class when Boman Irani was showing astronaut’s pen, he asked him why they not use pencils. The astronaut’s pen used to be given to the greatest engineer cum scientist. Ultimately Boman Irani gave it to Amir Khan.

The scene where Amir Khan took Sharman Joshi’s paralyzed father to Hospital and treated him, the viewers related themselves with Amir Khan. Besides Amir Khan did a cameo during the birth of the child of Kareena Kapoor’s sister. He used the local devices to generate electricity and used vacuum cleaner to convert into pump.

Sharman Joshi was brilliant in the scene where Boman Irani wanted him to be witness against Amir Khan and leave the institution. He cried and then jumped from 2nd floor to commit suicide. N. Raghaman was brilliant in the scene where he convinced his father Pariksheet Sahani about his talent relating to wild-life photography. He became a wild-life photographer even after completing engineering.

Kareena Kapoor was brilliant in the scene where she gave the keys of the locker room of the institution to the 3 idiots as against the interest of her father Boman Irani. The performance of each and every actor in the 3 idiots was no natural, that the viewers became spellbound. The songs like “all is well”, “zubi zubi”, etc., were impressive and picturized well.

Filmmakers should took lesson from The 3 idiots and make realistic films which touch the soul, as against larger than life images like Blue which are resulting in waste of money.

All the leading stars attended the premiere of 3 idiots.

All the leading stars attended the premiere of the film The 3 Idiots. Amir Khan invited all the leading stars of bollywood for the premiere.

Salman Khan said that those who were idiots will always remain idiots. But Amir Khan’s performance in the film had been excellent. It is ironical as to whom did he indicate as the idiot.

It is even strange that Shahrukh Khan who few days back said the way Amir Khan tried to promote his film in hindi this act was called “chichorapan”, he attended the same premiere. He even told that he had grown seeing Amir Khan’s acting. It is very difficult to understand the actual stand of Shahrukh Khan. But one fact is very clear, that he never enjoy’s Amir Khan’s success.

All the costars of 3 idiots including R Madhavan, Kareena Kapoor, Sharman Joshi, all were present in the premiere. The senior actors like Anil Kapoor provided their best wishes for the film. They liked Amir Khan’s performance. Saif Ali Khan also did the same.

The film had been released and Amir Khan expects that the film should do well. Raj Kumar Hirani had got special respect from the viewers after his Lage Raho Munnabhai was featured in United Nation’s General Assembly.

The film had very power pact performances and good songs sung by Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal and others. The film should do well.

The Three Idiots will entertain the viewers.

Rajkumar Hirani, the successful director of bollywood films, had experimented with Amir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi, in the film The Three Idiots. Amir Khan, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi were college friends.

The story of the film was related to Chetan Bhagat’s novel Five Point Someone, and the production was controlled by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. In the film Madhavan and Sharman Joshi recollected an old bet they were involved with. The bet was related to a wedding that they would have crashed into and a funeral which went out of control.

They searched their college friend Amir Khan who was involved in an affair with Kareena Kapoor and also was rebuked by Boman Irani. After the college days, all of a sudden, Amir Khan disappeared. Madhavan and Sharman Joshi could not trace him.

The music of the film had been composed by Shatanu Moitra who had followed up his successes in Parineeta and Lage Raho Munnabhai. The main songs which were catchy include “all izz well” sung by Sonu Nigam, Shaan and Swanand Kirkire, “behti hawa sa tha who” sung by Shaan, Shantanu Moitra, “jaan nehi denge tujhe” sung by Sonu Nigam, “give me some sunshine” sung by Suraj jagan, Sharman Joshi, to name a few.

Raj Kumar Hirani had only tasted success from the time he had made films related to Munnabhai series. Both Munnabhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munnabhai had been super hit. Going by that track record The Three Idiots is also going to be hit.

Besides Amir Khan, Mr. Perfectionist is destined to put his stamp with the success of the film The Three Idiots after the successes of Ghajini and Taren Zameen par released in the previous years respectively.

Raj Kumar Hirani and bollywood films.

Raj Kumar Hirani, had given a number of award winning films in the last few years. He wrote and directed the film Munna Bhai MBBS in 2004. The film created huge commotion all around the country.

Sanjay Dutt’s character Munna Bhai and Arshad Warsi’s character Circuit, gave them the image of their lifetime. The entire credit goes to Raj Kumar Hirani. Munna Bhai’s good deeds through muscle power and help of underworld people were reflected very well. The entire message was given through comedy instances. Boman Irani was also discovered in the film. The film received national award for the most popular film in the year. Besides it also received Filmfare critics award, Starscreen awards, Zee Cine awards.

Lage Raho Munnabhai was the second sequel of Munna Bhai MBBS. In this film Raj Kumar Hirani asked Sanjay Dutt to do Gandhigiri to solve different issues. The weapon of non-violence was reached to the masses in a very composed manner. Sanjay Dutt played the role of his life-time. In the film Vidya Balan as a radio-jockey created huge appeal before the masses. Sanjay Dutt’s gandhigiri helped in getting an old-age home back from the clutches of unscrupulous businessmen.

His third sequel, Munnabhai Chale America is under production. But interest created relating to the next film The Three Idiots. On one hand Amir Khan and Kareena Kapoor are acting in the film along with the other co-artists like R. Madhavan, Sharman Jodhi, etc. Secondly the film is related to the story of Chetan Bhagat titled “Five Point Someone”. At the same time, it had been a departure of Raj Kumar Hirani from the Munna Bhai Series.

The experience of Raj Kumar Hirani with Vidhu Vinod Chopra in films like Parineeta, Eklavya, Mission Kashmir will be of big use in his following films. The viewers await the release of the film The Three Idiots and wish Raj Kumar Hirani the best.
