Drishyam should have nominated for more categories, especially best film
My honest opinions –
Even though personally I will be voting for SRK in best actor category as I’m his fan.
Best Film – Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Best Director – Kabir Khan for Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Best Actor Male – Salman Khan for Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Best Actor Female – Deepika Padukone for Piku.
Best Music – Pritam for Dilwale.
Best Singer : Male – Arijit Singh – Gerua
Female – Alka Yagnik – Agar Tum Saath Ho.
These would be my favourites to win the awards, lets hope for the best.
#Kaali
Akshay kumar has d love of audience.
These awards r nothing….!
Best movie should go 2: Bajrangi bhaijjaan
Best actress : Anushka 4 Nh10 & kangana
Best actor:ranveer singh .
Srk is nominated for Dilwale and no room for Akki in Baby and Ajay in Drishyam seriously,no wonder people call them payed awards,what is the reason of having awards if you can’t award them to the desrving one
Actually I have lost all my faith on almost all awards functions like NATIONAL and FILMFARE AWARDS etc after they didn’t respect Historic Performance of all time in Cinematic History i.e A Performance that is An Award itself done by HRITHIK ROSHAN in GUZAARISH
See THE GOD Justice, From then, All Awards continuously lost their own respect
E.g they lost respect after not nominating this year’s best films like BABY and DRISHYAM and lost respect by nominating SRK for DILWALE as well
I can’t say much about all categories just I can say are …
For Best actor ;
It will be fair if Best Actor Award goes to either AMITABH BACHCHAN JI for PIKU or RANVEER SINGH for BAJIRAO
For Actress ;
It will be fair if Best Actress Award goes to KANGANA RANAWAT for TWMR
For Best Film ;
It will be fair if Best Film Award goes to either BAJRANGI or BAJIRAO
For Best Director ;
It will be fair if Best Director Award goes to either KABIR KHAN or SANJAY LEELA BHANSALI.
That’s why I don’t have faith in Indian award shows except for national award
How have akki and Ajay not been nominated for baby and drishyam?
I’m a salman fan but they deserved nominations. How could srk get nominated for dilwale ? Are you f@cking kidding?
Best movie : Piku Best Actor : Ranveer Singh Best Actress : Kangana Ranaut
Best awards….deserving nominations…
most funniest nominatiom is Sonam kapoor for dolly ki dolly…..lolll
wtf is this
No nomination for SRK so Im content for now…!
Filmfare functionality is different from others.People confusing popular with critics awards. Funny how some bash without knowledge. and behaving like Idiots!
haha look at non-actor’s fans.. Salman can be nominated for crappiest shits like Bodyguard and Dabangg 2 & that is even fair, but SRK nominated for Dilwale is not fair according to them. ROFL
most deserving for me is
best actor -Ranveer singh
best actress-kangna ranuat/deepika
best director-SLB/anand l rai
best film-BB or TWM
Best music-humari adhuri kahani…which is not nomination shockingly
best playback-arijit
best playback female-palak muchchal
filmfare is based 50% on public voting so KUCHH BHI HO SAKTA HAI
even sonam can will for Doll ki dolly….
@Legend Aamir Khan:
He rejected bec he can’t win.
Top 5 wknd GERMANY
1)#DILWALE – $155,224 (Record)
2)#HNY $122,577 (Record)
3)#CE $112,282 (Record)
4)#MNIK $98,170 (Record
5)#Dhoom3 $86,207
Most prestigious my foot….!!!!
No Akshay Kumar for (Baby or Brothers)
Ajay devgn for (Drishyam)
No Nawazudin Siddique for Badlapur and Manjhi ….. But don’t worry we have srk and varun …. Wow …!!!
Varun was completely overshadowed by nawaz in Badlapur …..
Even Sushant Singh Rajput byomkesh bakshi performance was also very underrated……
It’s high time that these awards shows need to think beside box office as well….
Damn they did nominate SRK… wtf
Everybody knows Rohit messed up the casting in Excusewale big time- Queen should have Been Varuns dadaji in the movie…!
Varun should have been nominated for U-Turnwale as he had to carry the baghban oldies on his own back…!
I would be happy they nominated Queen in Best Actress Category as apart from Kangana in TWMR n Deepika in Piku no other performance stood out.
Most of Akki, Salman, Aamir, ajay fans dont take Votes seriously and later they bash the Jury etc when their favoite stars don’t get nomination in popular category. Arey pehle vote toh karo na.
Even Shahid kapoor gets more votes than Akshay & Aamir, that’s shows the crazyness of real fans.
Am suprised over here people are just saying why no Ajay Akki?? Pls remove Ajays name there it is only rookies in bollywood or those fans who are not use to awards at all that will be making that statement. Any movie fans who have been following these awards since 97 to date won’t make such statements. Ajay flirts with filmfare by shunning..complerly blanking them ever since both him Aamir and Salman don’t believe in them that is why I did not tip Salman winning this rather National. From zakhm to gangajal to omkara just to them few.. we saw what happened. What was his compensation? National award 2 wice age 32! So thanks but no thanks still ….Ajay is not for filmfare . It’s a well known fact. So ignore all these why no Ajay or …..no matter how you hit yr head on the wall that nomination list is finally n certified. Can’t be revised.
@Rajesh very pathetic shameful .Really? Muslim dominates filmfare? How many awards Salman and Aamir have won?? Stop being a jerk,seems you are not used to seeing your hero being nominated from 90s 2000s till date consistently that’s why you iq and knowledge is very very poor. Be sensible stop being a casteist n a racist. This 2016 so wake up!
@asad the Nanga dhakkan khan
Ullu both D2 and Bodyguard are GADAR type epic landmark pathbreaking movies if they are to be ludicrously compared with the maha crappiest movie ever made- Flopwale…!
Perfect nominations have to agreed. that’s why i trust filmfare only. not even in national award since they ignored film/performance like Swades.
Deserving nominatees that were ignored-
Akshay- most will agree in baby he gave his career best performance and still ignored. Hope akshay fans trend something against this poor nominations.
Ajay- Drishyam a remade and 2 time national award winner was very good. Not the best of the year but atleast deserving of a nomination.
Irrfan- he is neither nominated for talvar as lead actor nor for piku as support actor. Excellent performances also talvar was a hit still he is ignored.
Undeserving nominees-
Srk n kajol- I mean really. This is lowest filmfare can ever fall. How can you nominate these performances. Crap film and no scope of acting still nominations. Wow filmfare.
Sonam- dolly dolli really. She is a non actor. Was worst thing in dolly doli and prdp still you nominate her.
Filmfare has lost its pride with these nominations. Biggest snubs are askshay, ajay and even irfan. Irfan may still win best actor critics but still nomination should have been given.#boycottFilmfare
There was nothing special in Baby NIPOON n yet these makkitards are crying about Joker Boy being ignored…! I mean he tortures audiences every year atleast 4 times with his bandargiri shenanigans n somehow his dumb fans think 1 good performance (supposedly) every leap year merits forgiveness n a subsequent nomination….! So deluded they are
@javed…dude so acc to u tamasha is a hgoty thats why tamasha nominated..!!
Best Actress nomination for Kajol – lol
Lungiwales have way too much free time voting for the most ridiculous outrageous nominations
Absolute crap nominations. Still if filmfare wants to save some respect main awatds should be-
Best film- bajrangi bhaijaan
Best actor- Ranveer
Best actress- kangana
Best director-SLB
Best film critics- Masaan
Best actor critics-Irfan (talvar, piku)
Best actress critics- kalki (Margarita)
When akki don’t care about awards then y we fans care ??
Akshay likes money more then award ,he performs in award shows for money instead of award . Chuck it !!!!
Did they nominate Kaali..Lolwaaaa…
#CrapFare continues…
