With the Oscars just finished and the victorious Indian brigade back, it was time for the Filmfare Awards. The prestigious awards function held at Yash Raj studios in Andheri had a glittering array of stars from the world of film with stalwarts like the Bachchan family, Rekha, Yash Chopra, SRK, Karan Johar and many more. Not to be left behind were the fast rising newcomers, who set the pace for the function, with Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan hosting the show.
The highlights of the show were not just the awards but the performances that left the audience in absolute wonder. Here's a quick look at what happened at the Filmfare Awards this year:
Starting off this trail of spectacular showmanship were Imran and Ranbir, the hosts for the evening. Infusing young blood into the age old industry has always thrown up stunning performances. The duo were quite literally the life of the evening, engaging the audience as well as tickling the funny side of all present, with their constant antics and spoofs on recent hit films.
With Imran as his uncle from the record breaking Ghajini and Ranbir as SRK from Rab Ne..., the act surely garnered laughs and applauds as the cold war between the Khan's seems to die down. But if you thought that this was the high point, then you are wrong, as the duo accompanied by Karan seemed to be engaged in a spoof on Dostana.
How can there be any event without a local rock band performance!
They live for the magic in the sound, distorted guitars breaking ground, the drums pounding faster than thy heart, the vocals screaming extreme art, the passion for music drove them forth, the best of it coming from their oath. The powerful tunes, a spectacular show, the audience screams in ecstasy… that was exactly what it was like, when Farhan Akhtar and group (Ehsaan and Loy) set the sound waves churning with renditions from their film Rock On!
It's not everyday that a newcomer whose film hasn't yet released gets a chance to perform live at an awards nite. But with Jackky Bhagnani the case was a bit different, as he set the tempo racing with an energetic and awe-inspiring dance performance on a track from his upcoming film.
Helping him find a way to the other side will be his film Kal Kissne Dekha, and maybe this aspiring star will reach the zenith of the fame and popularity in films. We wish him luck with his debut film.
In the end we have the star who currently is at the best phase of his career. He is none other than Shahid Kapoor. After his film Jab We Met, he was bestowed with the nickname Sha-Hit Kapoor. However, it wasn't just his acting that got him that acclaim, as it is visibly evident from his performance that he can quite literally set the stage afire with his dance performance. Whatever be the case, Shahid gave the audiences a lot to watch and think about with his chiseled physique and stunning moves.
However, the best part of the entire award ceremony was the line up of celebrities. How often will you ever get a chance to see the Bachchan parivaar and the King Khan sit side by side? Also present were Yash Chopra, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Rekha along with a big array of stars including the Slumdog Millionaire kids.
