Heroine 1
Gangs of Wasseypur bags most categories for me, quite the expected way. I felt bad that I couldn't keep Nawazuddin or Irfan at no.1 in best actor, its just hard to ignore Ranbir Kapoor who once again took the best actor. Shahrukh managed the top5 like last time around but had no chance. No actress gave fight to Vidya Balan's performance in Kahaani, rest just filled the top5 spot. I preferred Kareena in Talaash over her performance in Heroine.
I loved Shanghai very much, though I could give it just one category to win, but its the most important one, 'Best Director'. The very minute detailing by Dibakar is what made the film look that good. Yash Chopra would be a surprise to those who didnt like Jab tak hai Jaan, but it was script that was loose, not his direction.
Kahaani in the end won best film comfortably, it was very much without flaws or problems, rest films did have 1-2 things that I bothered me. To shine in a aamir-rani-kareena film deserves applause, hence Nawazuddin my choice in supporting role category. Special Mention to Randeep Hooda whose performance in Jannat2 I loved very much, even though in his rest movies he didn't live upto the expectations.
When I saw Taar Bijli song in theatre for 1st time, I knew Riccha Chadda is definately gonna be one of my nominees if not winner when I write this post. Annu Kapoor was a easy choice of winner in Comic category, while I prefer Ajay over Abhishek in Bol Bacchan, the way he use to say 'Sunoooo..'. Atul Kulkarni surprised me with his comic timing in Chalees Chauraasi.
Bipasha Basu was very evil in Raaz3, but Tigmanshu was always going to take this one. Already said a lot, she was the star of Music in 2012, Sneha Khanwalkar, keep giving such musical gems.
Challa's lyrics struck me the very first time I heard the song promo, Gulzar created something special in this song which he failed to certain extent in Saans. Special mention to Piyush Mishra's Ik Bagal, very good lyrics it had. Rabbi's voice in Challa was too good, finally made me like his sung song. Ayushmann didn't miss by much, just that I felt Challa had more variations then Paani da rang had. Sneha easy pick for female singer, one of evergreen songs it would be for me. But, no Sunidhi and Shreya in my top5, just not good enough to give them a place.
It was tough one to choose among Ayushmann and Arjun, both were equally good, reminds me of Farhan-Imran tie in 2008. But, then I don't like to keep ties, so gave nod to Ayushmann. Both actors future films are to look out for. Even Siddharth and Varun were great in a otherwise average Student of the year.
Ileana D Cruz for best female debut was easy choice, though Huma Quereshi was excellent be it Gangs of Wasseypur series or Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana. Ileana was simply too good to take eyes off in the film, be it her looks, her simplicity, her dialogue delivery, her expressions. I wish she doesnt dissappoint in her future hindi films. Anjali Patil was a different choice, she was impressive in Chakravyuh, but if you watch 'Delhi in a Day', you would love her performance, unfortunately that was a indie film so I had to nominate her for Chakravyuh instead.
Gauri Shinde presented a tough story without going preachy in her very first film, hence a deserving Best Debut Director. Shakun Batra was very good too.
An athelete turns into a dacaoit was easily the best story. Faizal-Mohsina permisan scene was hillarious, and Nawazuddin says the scene is taken from his own real life incident makes me wonder how it would had been in real, perhaps very much similar. Nawazuddin-Huma jodi very unusual and hatke, yet the best of the year in every way. One of my fav moment apart from permisan scene was when she questions his age, and he gets angry saying 'itne hi boodhe lagte hai hum toh shaadi kyun kiye humse'.
I gave best trailer to Gangs of Wasseypur II, but not to the chi cha ledar one, it was to the kaala rey which is still not available on net. I remember how mad I was after that trailer, that everytime I would wait the final scene of 1st part to end quickly in theatre, so that the trailer would come up. David is a surprising choice, but the style and use of 'Three kills' theme made it a compulsory inclusion.
Ram Sampath's background score in Talaash was too good, though I loved Gangs of Wasseypur and Barfi themes a lot too. Namrata Rao was amazing in editing once again, special mention to the way she captured kolkata city through Aami Shotti Bolchi song. Choreography was one of tough choices, was close to take Auntyjee but felt Ishq Shava made me enjoy the song more. If I was allowed, I would had kept Ishq Dance instead of Ishq Shava, but I guess that can't be considered.
Lastly, Heroine got a consolation for costumes, specially the ones Kareena had.
