53rd FILIM FARE AWARDS(INDIAN OSCARS)

One of the most popular awards of the nation is the filim fare awards.The 53rd Film fare Awards for the year 2007 - 2008 was held at the Yashraj Studios in Mumbai on feb 23rd.That was a great day for the entire bollywood lovers where many stars turned up for the show.However, one could not help but notice that only those stars were present at the gathering who won certain awards, those who didn’t win anything did not bother to turn up at the show.The happiest of all would be - . Shah Rukh, Kareena, Aamir Khan, Imtiaz Ali, Tabu, Darsheel Safary, Konkona Sensharma, Irrfan Khan, AR Rahman, Shreya Ghoshal, Shaan, Rishi Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukon;the award winners. Shahrukh Khan won the best actor award for Chak De India.Best Actress was Kareena Kapoor for Jab We Met.The Best Film wasTaare Zameen Par.The Best Director award was won by Aamir Khan for Taare Zameen Par.Lifetime Achievement Award went to Rishi Kapoor.The Power Awards was won by Yash Chopra & Aditya Chopra.The Best Debut for male was Ranbir Kapoor for his Saawariya and Best Debut for female was Deepika Padukone for her Om Shanti Om .The Best Action Award went to Rob Miller for Chak De India.The Best Cinematography and Best Costumes was won by Sudhip Chatterjee and Sujata Sharma(Gandhi My Father) respectively.Akshay Kumar fans are in for disappointment as he did not win a single award. It was predicted that he will be getting the Best Actor in a Comic Role for atleast one of the five back to back hits he had given,unfortunately that particular category itself was scrapped out this time.Filmfare Best supporting actor award went to Irrfan Khan.Film fare Best Supporting Actress award went to Konkana Sen Sharma for her role in Life in a Metro. The Best Music award for 2008 went to A.R.Rahman for Guru (funny Taare Zameen Par wasn’t even nominated, though people liked it so much!). The Best lyrics award went to Prasoon Joshi for Maa. Shaan won the Filmfare Best Male Playback singer award for his rendering of Jab se Tere Naina (Saawariya) and Shreya Goshal bagged he Film fare Best Female Playback singer for her sweet rendering of the song “Barso Re”(Guru).Thus these awards would have made some set of audions happy and others would have got strucked with an disappointment.However the ultimate motive of these awards is to encourage the entire film industry and boost their performances.
