Filmfare always had a very special place in the hearts of audience as well as the
Stars just like
Oscar's! It was regarded as a prestige issue to win at least 1
Filmfare Trophy in an actor's lifetime. Who can forget the famous
Sanju Baba speech after receiving his first
Best Actor award for
Vaastav. There are many such instances associated with this ceremony since the famous golden days of
Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor and Dev Anand!
Dharmendra specially ordered a tailor made yellow suit for himself when he was confident of winning the award for
Betaab as the
Producer. Such was the charm and charisma of this event. Nobody from the film fraternity wanted to skip this extravaganza and always made a special effort to attend it, irrespective of the fact that whether they will win an award or not.
Shahrukh Khan made his debut with
Deewana for which he did win
Sensational Debut Award (deservedly). In a year he had made brilliant
PR skills to impress
Big Banners like
YRF and even with
Sponsors of Filmfare awards. This gave birth to
fixing of awards and as a result
SRK was awarded best actor for
Baazigar for which he was earlier nominated as a
Villian but on the last minute changes were made so that
Sanjay Dutt is deprived of his trophy(for Khalnayak).
This became a kind of trend and every year
Shahrukh started winning non deserving awards and once when limits were crossed,
Aamir Khan boycotted going to award shows(he was deprived of his deserving award for Rangeela).
Today nobody respects
Filmfare or any other award show as you already know that which ever big star is present and is seated in the front row is going to win an award for certain.
Kangana Ranaut avoids all the award shows and only accepted
National award from the
President of India.
Today reality is in front of everybody that even for last 3
washout flops - Dilwale, Happy New Year and Fan - Shahrukh was nominated for the first two (if not won) and would get a certain nomination next year for the 3rd one?? Now the gap is so much widened between
Megastars (Salman,Aamir) and ordinary star
SRK that how much ever he lobbies, maximum he can win a nomination but can't win an award now.
Filmfare lost its charm which had a history of more than 60 years just for a very ordinary actor with a brilliant business mind.
