Filmfare.....Kuch toh Gadbad hai! And its Predictions.





With the Filmfare nominations out yesterday night, the nominations, like the previous years have shocked, but this time they have shocked me to the core.  Since the nominations which are out, are based on 50% audience and 50% of the choices of the jury. Hence, the jury alone cannot be blamed for these nominations. I would list (category wise) some mentions which I think that should have made to the list; if not won an award. 

Best Movies: Nominations- Dangal, Sultan, Neerja, Kapoor and Sons, Udta Punjab and Pink.
As per me, keeping box office collections in mind, Sultan should have been substituted with M.S. Dhoni, which might not have been exactly "untold" but in all aspects was better than Sultan.

Predicted Winner: Pink.

Best Director: Nominations- Sultan, Neerja, Kapoor and Sons, Udta Punjab, ADHM. Sultan director  Ali Abbas Zafar shouldn't have been made to this list because there were instances where I thought that the direction including the pace could have been better, In fact, M.S. Dhoni by Neeraj Pandey could have made it to this list because in a case of this movie, 3 hrs and 10 minutes simply flew by.

Predicted Winner: Ram Madhvani for Neerja

Best Actor(Male): Nominations- Ranbir for ADHM, Sushant Rajput for M.S.Dhoni, Amitabh for Pink, Aamir for Dangal, Salman for Sultan, Shahid for Udta Punjab, SRK for Fan.
In this case, there has been a very, very wrong this with Akshay Kumar, who gave splendid performances in Rustom and Airlift. For me, Akshay Kumar's patriotic themed Rustom got the right panache by his performance and Airlift portrayal of Ranjit Katyal was convincing enough that could have won him his first Filmfare. Anyways, I just wish he wins the 'Best Actor(Male)' in the critics choice. Manoj Bajpayee in 'Aligarh' gave a very moving performance and was a clear winner for this award.

Predicted Winner: Amitabh Bachchan for Pink.

  Best Actor(Female): Nominations: Alia for Udta Punjab and Dear Zindagi, Anushka for ADHM, Aishwarya for Sarabjit, Vidya for Kahaani 2 and Sonam in Neerja. Tapsee Pannu, in Pink, gave a satiating performance in Pink. If not an award, her nomination should have been a must,

Predicted Winner: Sonam Kapoor(Neerja) and Alia Bhatt(Udta Punjab)

Best Supporter(Male): Fawad, Rishi and Rajat for KNS, Rajkummar Rao for Aligarh, Diljit for Udta Punjab, Jim for Neerja. These nominations seem fine.

Predicted Winner: Rishi Kapoor for KnS.(Hands down)

Best Supporter(Female): Shabana for Neerja, Kareena for Udta Punjab, Kirti for Pink, Ratna for KnS, Richa for Sarabjit. Andrea Tariang seems to be missing here.

Predicted Winner: Shabana Azmi for Neerja.( A woman who brought emotions to the screen.)

Best Music: ADHM, Udta Punjab, Kapoor and Sons, Baaghi, Mirzya, Sultan. Maybe 'Baar Baar Dekho' could have made it to the list based on Kala Chashma, Sau Aasmaan, Nachde ne Saare, Dariyaan.

Predicted Winner: Pritam for ADHM. (Songs from all genres)

Image result for Pritam

Best Lyrics: Channa Mereya, Aave Re Hitchki, Mirzya, Jag Ghoomeya, Love u Zindagi and Ik Kudi
The nominations for best lyrics could have been added with 'Dariyaa' from Baar Baar Dekho.

Predicted Winner: Amitabh Bhattacharya for Channa Mereya. (Mesmerizing Lyrics)

( This line is a personal favourite)

Best Playback( Male): Amit for Bulleya, Arijit for Channa Mereya and ADHM, Atif for Tere Sang, Rahat for Jag Ghoomeya. Arko could have joined for 'Dariyaan'.

Predicted Winner: Arijit for Channa Mereya.

Bes Playback(Female): Kanika for Da Da Dasse, Palak for Kaun Tujhe, Neeti for Sau Asmaan, Jonita for Break-up Song and Neha for Jag Ghoomeya. This list is completely valid.

Predicted Winner : Palak Muchchal for Kaun Tujhe from M.S.Dhoni

As per me, critics award should be as follows:

Best Actor(Male) Critics Choice: Akshay Kumar for Airlift.

                                                  Image result for airlift akshay kumar look
   Best Actor(Female) Critics Choice: Swara Bhaskar for Nil Battey Sannata

                                                   Image result for swara bhaskar nil battey sannata                     
       Best Movie (Critics Choice): Raman Raghav 2.0

     Best Short Film: Sujoy Ghosh for Ahalya

So, this was my criticism and predictions for not only Filmfare but also for other Award ceremonies. If, u have criticism then please let me know.   And do let me know, if u think I missed out on someone.

Qissa Controversy Ka: SSR and Nepotism!

14th June 2020. Bandra West, Mumbai. It has been 12 days since Sushant Singh Rajput has left the world. We accept it or not but, his death has impacted us to a great extent more than any other death in the film fraternity. There are uncountable  rumours  regarding his death and it is really shameful that it took a Death to realize the roots of Nepotism and Favourites that run in this industry! In the blog post, I would just like to share some radical views about the statements and the controversies that evolved  after his death.                                JUDGEMENTALITY:  Probably after the Nepotism debate, the most talked-about reason for his suicide is the Rhea Chakraborty And Mahesh Bhatt angle. Just because intimate pictures between Mahesh and Rhea have started doing rounds on the internet, the public has come to the conclusion (let alone an assumption) that there is something brewing between the two. Well, it is very obvious that the partner/spouse is suspected in that case

Sushant Singh Rajput: An Inspiration and a Legend!

It has been 42 days since Sushant Singh Rajput left for his heavenly abode on the 14th of June, 2020. In this write-up, The Bollywood Elephant pays a heartfelt tribute to the late Sushant Singh Rajput. May he find semblance in his mother's arms up there. Sushant carved your own niche in the galaxy far away yet near. We hope that we could bring him back using quantum physics by igniting chemistry. His dreams and passion are embedded in our hearts and become an immortal source of motivation. His death makes me realize the uncertainty and fear of life. His uncertain exit from our galaxy was unsettling but opened a chapter about life consumed by depression. I recall how he always wanted to be an astronaut and in one of his interviews, he said, "Let's be an actor and let's be everything" with the same energy and gusto as a naive and a simple guy with Bollywood dreams! Thereafter, he unravelled his dreams through cinema and stuck to what he believed! When I first read a

Kalank Review: After Kalank, you will need a 'Palang' because 'Tabaah Ho Gaye'!

After so many delays, Dharma Productions magnum opus 'Kalank'  starring Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Kunal Kemmu, Kiara Advani, Anchint Kaur etc. etc. It is scripted and directed by a 1-filmed old director Abhishek Varman.                                           What's Good:   Acting:  Credit is given where it is due. Acting performances are top notch. Aditya and Sonakshi are hands down the best! They are ably supported by the rest of the ensemble cast but these rightfully deserve every accolade. Costume and Set Design:  The costume and set design are absolutely spectacular and Bhansali level. Costumes are well depicted by Manish Malhotra. Music:  Surprisingly, Pritam's music is one of the better things of this magnum opus.                                          What's Bad:  Story:  The story has so many interesting sub-plots which are let down because the main/central plot on which the
