National Awards, India

[MADDY]

There have been greater non-deserving performances before. (Rikshakaaran, anyone?)

what were the other deserving performances that missed that year??

vivs, Aamir(2008) is his first release but he did DevD much before it and technically is his first movie......as Nerd said, he will be there in the league very soon.....pls listen to his works in Aamir, Aisha, Iktara song from wake up sid

[ilayapuyalvinodh_kumar]

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

Amit is a first timer

idhuthaan avar mudhal padamaa? !

At NA this is his first film. He did a film called Aamir before Dev.D

Maddy - Okay, I don't know. I was just hinting at one of such examples. Every time few of the awardees have been found undeserving, hints at power play, bias etc.,

My point is, when I watched Paa, I didn't think it's a national-award winning performance. On seeing the news, I don't feel it's undeserving either.

Best Male Playback Singer - Rupam Islam (Mahanagar)

I felt either of KK or Javed Ali should have got for their rendition in Tum Mile.

[MADDY]

Maddy - Okay, I don't know.

ok whenever there is a talk of misgivings in NA, MGR's name comes first - i thought he had spoiled some real good performance's chance......

Could be. I have heard a lot of people cribbing about it.

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

[AravindMano]

Quite interesting that 'Harishchandrachi Factory' hasn't garnered even a single award. Oscar-ku laam anuppi vachchaanga.

Feeyaar i have watched paleri and with any scale, it is way over Paa. What is Paa anyway?
nAnga kUda thAn rubber makeup(adhuvum 10 role-la) pOttukittOm engaLukku kuduthIngaLA?
And you may remember I dissed the Paa performance when I saw it - not inventing a reason now to diss Amit-ji.

This is clearly a BPM initiative - committee chairman who? members who?

adutha varusham Abhishek Bachchan for Ravan

[kid-glove]

Oh yes, What could we say about normative merits of Bachchan's performance as Auro in Paa than that it would have us be concerned in not just physiology of such existence (miraculous as it seems), but also in AB's hieratic gestural method in recurrence of behavioral patterns, that gestates uninhibited emotional resonance. For a deformed, diseased kid, Auro manages to be affable and earn our sentiment predominantly because of AB's graceful presence, that even character development (a failing of writer/director Balki) isn't fully amiss. Auro is a complex entity that's created for simpler paternal, familial, and thoroughly humanistic values. The inner conflicts are never outwardly revealed. Nonperformance? I'd say 'subtle'. Well, this is the man who went overtly theatrical in Black and Last Lear, only because the characters merits such. He isn't self-indulgent, or narcissistic, after all it's the man whose humility knows no bounds, and his modesty never false. What we could truly say is that Bachchan strips this character bare. And effortlessly, I might add. He leaves it to the makeup man. Such uninhibited methods should rank up there with DDL of My Left foot and Moon So-ri in Oasis. Truly worldclass.
