National Awards, India

[Vivasaayi]

17 yrs back a young budding music director from kodambakkam pipped pannaipuram raja by a single vote to win NA..........today, another youngster from lanes of mumbai stuns the mozart of madras to take the title

raju in MMKR: idhellam adhuva varradhhu dhaan-laa

rahmana idhukku munaadi neraya peru closeajeyichirupanga....idha mattum epdi varalaatru nigalvaa eduthukka mudiyin?

[Vivasaayi]

andha pasanga padathula ennayya irundhuchu... nejamave adhu nalla padamaa?..

naanthaan kooruketta thanama paathanaa?

By any 'norm' of superlative acting, Paa is a non-starter. It dates back to 2004, Mammootty's Kazcha was ignored for Saif's Hum Tum, I find this no different. And fact that AB equals the highest tally should be seen as blatant agenda..

Viv,

becos, i liked this movie very much.. other side of story therinjukkalaamenu..

Mammootty, known for his passion towards National awards, not sure how he would have taken this.

It will be easier for NI media to place Amitabh in the top of "actors" list along with stars list now...

It looked very fake and pretentious

And apparently he is in the league of *great composers* (not quite there but will be in a few years)

There have been greater non-deserving performances before. (Rikshakaaran, anyone?). I don't find anything wrong in awarding Amitabh Bachchan. He was after all, good in that film. (haven't watched Mamootty in those films). Even as a standalone attempt, I found his effort endearing and worthy.
