SRK and My Name Is Khan shines at Filmfare awards!!!


The Khan charisma was on display again. Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan picked up his 14th Filmfare Award for Best Actor in his home production My Name is Khan; while his co-star in the film, Kajol, stayed up way past midnight to pick up her trophy as Best Actress.

SRK also dazzled the audience with a magical dance performance with one of his favourite ladies, Madhuri Dixit, before switching loyalties to the lady-in-black. The superstar said he would dedicate the award to his daughter, Suhana, who has been unwell. "My children love it when I win awards," he said. "And, of course, I love it most of all."

Karan Johar bagged the Best Director Award for MNIK, a film that he co-produced with SRK. Karan wept holding the 3.5 kilos trophy. It had taken him 12 years to woo back this snooty black lady for his directorial skills.

After taking a bow at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in May last year, Udaan stormed the 56th Idea Filmfare Awards 2010 by winning seven trophies. This heart-rending story of a young boy who takes flight after being forced to face his disciplinarian father's angst, while growing up in a small town in Northern India, made its producers Sanjay Singh and Anuraag Kashyap and director Vikramaditya Motwane proud by picking up seven awards. The film won awards for Story and Screenplay, Background Score, Cinematography, Film (Critics' Choice), Actor in A Supporting Role (Male) Ronit Roy and Sound Design. Honestly, it was the night when most things small outshone the Bollywood magnum-opuses.

Films like Ishqiya and Do Dooni Chaar also proved their mettle by picking up trophies for acting and technical excellence.

Vidya Balan, who was chosen as the Best Actress (Critics Choice) for Ishqiya, came dressed in black with a sexy choli. The film also got veteran lyric writer Gulzaar a trophy for Best Lyrics for his soulful Dil Toh Bachcha Hai. Playback singer Rahat Fateh Ali, who lent his vocals to Dil Toh Bachcha Hai, also took home one of the gorgeous black ladies.

Rishi Kapoor won the Best Actor (Critics Choice) Award for his terrific performance as the middle-class, Delhi-based Duggal saab who dreams of ditching his two-wheeler for a car ultimately. He came to the venue without his wife Neetu, but stayed back to watch his son Ranbir Kapoor's antics on the stage. Imran Khan and Ranbir were the emcees who brought the house down with their gags on Action Replayy, Dabangg, Guzaarish and My Name Is Khan.

Arbaaz Khan and the super-sexy Malaika Arora Khan took home a trophy for 2010's biggest commercial success Dabangg that was chosen as the Best Film. And though Salman Khan was away, Arbaaz thanked his superstar brother without whom Dabangg wouldn't have been the resounding success it was.

The film's chart-busting music also won trophies for its composers Sajid-Wajid and Lait Pandit. Mamta Sharma, who lent her voice to Munni Badnaam Hui, and the irrepressible Sunidhi Chauhan, who sang Sheila Ki Jaawani (Tees Maar Khan), also went home very happy. Farah Khan, who won the Best Choreography Award for Sheila Ki Jawaani, said she was happy that Udaan had not been nominated in this category. "Or else I wouldn't be holding this trophy in my hand," joked the filmmaker.

Sonakshi Sinha took home her first trophy for her very assured debut in Dabangg; and Ranveer Singh, who certainly is no Adonis, proved that when it comes to histrionics, you don't need perfect looks. The actor was adjudged the Best Debutant (Male) for playing the bread pakoda boy from Band Baaja Baraat. Ronit Roy wept copiously when he heard his name announced as the Best Supporting Actor; Kareena Kapoor bagged the Best Supporting Actress award for We Are Family.
