Now a days, Awards has become a big joke. Gone are the days when awards were given on the basis of sheer talent. But today all you need to be in the good books. Maintain relationships, be fairly nice to the award community basically be a yes man and the award is yours.
Initially when Amir Khan banned Filmfare awards I found it bit funny, I thought so big deal, it happens everywhere, he should take light. But now even National Awards has lost its credibility. It has more or less become the present government ruled awards. Well, I do not disagree with the talent of those who recieve the award, however I do feel the more deserving candidate does not receive the awards. Like, back in 90’s I still do not understand how come Meenakshi Sheshasri did not recieve award for much acclaimed “Damini” and Amir Khan for “Rangeela”. And the list is long.
I remember in 1 of the interview Kangana said “If I don’t recieve award for “Manikarnika”, National Awards credibility would be questioned and here you go she gets the award, however nonetheless she is talented and brilliant actress but not for national award, she got national award only because she is Headhearted BJP supporter. Not only Kangana when Akshay got National award for Rustom instead of Amir for Dangal it was quite disheartening.
Filmfare has anywhich ways lost its credibility way back but now National Awards has lost its credibility too, for what these awards are given Talent NO. So why this drama. Now even the most prestigious awards like Padam Shree is under Radar. For what kind of contribution Ekta Kapoor was given. Deserving people will never ever get the much acclaimed awards.
Anyways, this circus is never ending and will go on. No matter how talented you are, if you are the one who knows how to keep the “Power” happy, then it’s yours.
