Ladies and gentlemen, the 50th Filmfare awards!?Thousands of miles away from home, I switched on the television expecting the mother of all Indian award nites. The world was watching.
Our Creativity: The first glimpse of the stage made my heart sink. The camera was more professionally handled in my wedding video**.
Our Organization:** An actress comes to receive her award in something looking like a bathrobe because she is to perform soon after. Anchors taking cues and introducing the presenters, looking as lost as a kid in the forest.
Our Manners: A veteran member of the industry speaks about the old times, and the anchor moves on with the word ?anyways?. The world was watching.
To call this ?celebration? a disaster would be an understatement (of gold jubilee proportions!). As with our films, we only seem high on quantity. Our answer to the Oscars. Yeah right.
I cannot understand how no one has written about these awards when they were such a disappointment this year, especially when it is the 50th year celebration!!!
