Awards for worst of Bollywood
There are awards which also celebrate the worst of Bollywood, similar to Golden Raspberry Award(Razzie for short).
Golden Kela Awards: are awarded by Random Magazine. Winners receive an award in the shape of a golden banana (kela in Hindi). The first annual Golden Kela award ceremony took place in 2009 in New Delhi. The Awards were presented to random people from the audience as none of the real stars had showed up to receive their awards. In 2011 more than 300,000 people cast their votes for The Golden Kelas. Details at official website. You can vote for Golden Kela’s here.
Ghanta Awards: celebrates and rewards the worst of Bollywood. They started in 2011. Nominees are decided by a jury of film critics and voted by internet users. The jury members for the 2nd Annual Ghanta Awards are Karan Anshuman, Sahil Rizwan, Rajeev Masand, Cilemasnob and and Mihir Fadnavis.
Before we come to awards of 2012 let’s us see the top movies of 2011.
Top movies of 2011
The industry witnessed many changes this year – extensive use of technology, the focus on weekend collections and aggressiveness(Think Ra.one) in film promotion. The business no longer spreads across weeks and has come down to weekends. No movie gives you enough time. It just dazzles you. It is either good or bad.
Let’s put the Bollywood revenue in perspective. Quoting from MONEY AND THE MOVIES on 5 feb 2011 of Times of India.
1999 | India’s first multiplex begins operations. Multiplexes would later go on to become one of the biggest boom-inducers of Bollywood
2004 | Corporations enter the film industry. Like Hollywood, India gets its own movie studios. Film budgets soar
2007-2008 | Bollywood business at its peak, with increased revenues. For the first time, values upward of Rs 20 crore possible
2009 | Recession hits Bollywood but as a saving grace, 3 Idiots touches the 200 crore mark
2011 | Box office revenues reach an all time high, making it Bollywood’s most profitable year, as a number of films crossed Rs 100 crore

Controversies about the awards
Naseeruddin Shah, who featured in the 2011 chartbuster ‘Ooh la la…’ and is being pitched as the favourite for the Best Supporting Actor award for his performance. The National Award-winning actor has shied away from these galas even when he’s been promised a popular award.(Ref)
Emraan Hashmi to shun all award functions says “Firstly, I strongly disagree with the nomination process at most award ceremonies. And I have felt that since the start of my career. Some nominations are highly undeserving.”

What do you think about the awards?
I don’t attend awards shows. The fact is that the organiser calls you, saying that please come for the show, we will give you an award.If you refuse, they will give the award to someone else.They have to market and sell their award function. That’s why it’s a problem for them (if you don’t attend). So they give awards to whoever attends the awards show.
The minute stars say they are coming, the organisers give awards to everyone in different categories like Critic’s award, Viewer’s choice, Performer of the Year and what not.
Those are good but even they have been tarnished once or twice. The only satisfaction is that you are getting the award from the President of India — at least the country’s highest civilian is giving it to you
Yes. But the problem is that there’s a lot of politics in our country. There are so many small and big films that are good. Small films don’t do well because we start manipulating the process and they have to lobby for their film. My question is: Why are you betraying your country? Why don’t you send films that are worthy?Here’s an example. A few years back, Devdas and The Legend of Bhagat Singh were in queue for Oscars. If we need a chance at the Oscars, we must send the best film. In that case, which film would you send — that of a drunkard or a freedom fighter? Who has the better chance? And which film did you send?
There may be many small films made by small directors and newcomers. But nobody sends them. So who are we cheating? Our country.

One response to “Bollywood Awards Tamasha”
yes ..I agree with you there are some awards which are nonsense, there is no sense. Even some actors like paresh rawal, amir khan, sunil shetty are never attended the awards function due to fake behavior. But I think Filmfare is exception from that. what is your opinion.
