Many great performances coming in various categories of hindi movies last year.
No outright winner, shared mostly between Lootera, Kai Po Che, Aashiqui 2 and Dhoom3, while rest films chipping in with 1 or 2 awards.
Presenting nominees along with winners, the list is entirely my opinion based.
Best Actor Male : Farhan Akhtar (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag)
• Aamir Khan (Dhoom 3)
• RajKumar Rao (Shahid)
• Irffan Khan (Lunchbox)
• Ranbir Kapoor (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani)
Farhan's brilliant performance overturns even a double role done by Aamir, and Ranbir who for last two years has been winning best actor in my list.
Best Actor Female : Sonakshi Sinha (Lootera)
• Nushrat Bharucha (AkaashVani)
• Deepika Padukone (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani)
• Parineeti Chopra (Shuddh Desi Romance)
• Nimrat Kaur (The Lunchbox)
Sonakshi may get criticised or made fun of by people, but Lootera showed me how good an actress she is, a clear cut winner. Nushrat will be surprise entry for many, I just loved how she handled a complex role.
Best Director : Vikramaditya Motwane (Lootera)
• Abhishek Kapoor (Kai Po Che)
• Hansal Mehta (Shahid)
• Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag)
• Shoojit Sircar (Madras Cafe)
It was Vikram's direction that made Lootera so special, specially the 2nd half highly romantic and full of emotions.
Best Film : Kai Po Che
• Lootera
• Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
• Shahid
• Dhoom 3
Already written on them here
Best Supporting Actor Male : Mohammad Zeeshan Ayub (Raanjhanaa)
• Nawazuddin Siddiqui (The Lunchbox)
• Anupam Kher (Special Chabees)
• Mohammad Zeeshan Ayub (Shahid)
• Siddhartha Basu (Madras Cafe)
Best Supporting Actor Female : Swara Bhaskar (Raanjhanaa)
• Divya Dutta (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag)
• Kalki Koechlin (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani)
• Prabhleen Sandhu (Shahid)
• Richa Chadda (Ram Leela)
Apart from Dhanush, the best thing about Raanjhanaa were its supporting cast, both Mohammad and Swara gave excellent performances.
Best Actor in a Comic Role : Pankaj Kapur (Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola)
• Kunal Khemu (Go Goa Gone)
• Varun Sharma (Fukrey)
• Vir Das (Go Goa Gone)
• Divyendu Sharma (Chashme Baddoor)
Very much forgettable movie for many, but I enjoyed it a lot and the only reason for it was Pankaj Kapur's ability to make you laugh at numerous occasions in the movie. Kunal just missed out, his comic timing was perfect too, specially the 1st half.
Best Actor in a Negative Role : Akshay Kumar (Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Dobara)
• Prakash Belawadi (Madras Cafe)
• Supriya Pathak (Ram Leela)
• Shilpa Shukla (B.A. Pass)
• Rishi Kapoor (Aurangzeb)
The film may had bombed at box-office, but I saw it probably 3-4 times just for Akshay's menacing negative performance. He should do lot more of these, instead of regular masala action comedies. Prakash was brilliant especially the dialect of his character.
Best Music : Amit Trivedi (Lootera)
• Mithoon, Ankit Tiwari & Jeet Ganguly (Aashiqui 2)
• Pritam (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani)
• Shankar Ehsaan Loy (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag)
• Pritam (Dhoom 3)
Already written on them here
Best Lyricist : Irshad Kamil, Milne hai mujhse aayi (Aashiqui 2)
• Puneet Sharma, Barbaadi (Aurangzeb)
• Prasoon Joshi, Zinda (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag)
• Amitabh Bhattacharya, Shikayatein (Lootera)
• Swanand Kirkire, Manja (Kai Po Che)
1st and 2nd antara are just too good in 'Milne hai mujhse aayi' song, once again magic of Irshad Kamil working.
Best Playback Singer Male : Arijit Singh, Tum hi ho (Aashiqui 2)
• Benny Dayal, Badtameez dil (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani)
• Falak Shabir, Saajna (I Me Aur Main)
• Siddharth Mahadevan, Zinda (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag)
• Ankit Tiwari, Sun raha hai (Aashiqui 2)
Arijit's got every award this year, and almost everyone loved his song including me. Mithoon's composition and his voice made the song too romantic.. Benny Dayal was terrific in making Badtameez dil sound so peppy, and get up dance on it.
Best Playback Singer Female : Shilpa Rao, Mann marziyaan (Lootera)
• Sunidhi Chauhan, Kamli (Dhoom 3)
• Shreya Ghoshal, Nagada sang dhol (Ram Leela)
• Saba Azad, Dil ki toh lag gayi (Nautanki Saala)
• Bhoomi Trivedi, Ram chaahe leela (Ram Leela)
Shilpa is one of most under-rated female singers currently, gem of a song she sung, with visuals the song becomes double special for me. Sunidhi showcases what magic she can do if she chooses right songs, Kamli was indeed one of her best songs of career.
Best Debut Male : Dhanush (Ranjhanaa)
• Sushant Singh Rajput (Kai Po Che/Shuddh Desi Romance)
• Prakash Belawadi (Madras Cafe)
• Varun Sharma (Fukrey)
• Neeraj Kabi (Ship of Theseus)
I so wanted to make Sushant win it, as he's in his first two films become one of my favorites, but Dhanush performance in Ranjhanaa was hard to over-look. He single handedly carried the film on his shoulders, plus the handwork he must had gone with delivering those tough hindi dialogues, for someone whose hindi ain't good.
Best Debut Female : Vaani Kapoor (Shuddh Desi Romance)
• Aida El Kashef (Ship of Theseus)
• Shree Swara (D Day)
• Tapsee Pannu (Chashme Baddoor)
• Tamannah (Himmatwala)
Vaani looked confident throughout the movie, I will be slightly partial here, have a crush on her and love her voice otherwise Aida might had been my original choice (plus Aida had a smaller role in movie didn't help either). Special mention to Shree Swara, who was excellent playing role of Irfan's wife in D Day.
Best Debut Director : Ritesh Batra (The Lunchbox)
• Anand Gandhi (Ship of Theseus)
• Ajay Behl (B.A Pass)
• Ashima Chibber (Mere Dad Ki Maruti)
• Kannan Iyer (Ek Thi Daayan)
It always excites me when first time directors instead of taking easy way, goes for different hatke stories that has scope for them to show their talent. The top 3 in list specially did it successfully.
Best Story : Anand Gandhi, Pankaj Kumar, Rutvik Oza (Ship of Theseus)
• Shagufta Rafique (Aashiqui 2)
• Ritesh Shah and Mohan Sikka (B.A. Pass)
• Ritesh Batra and Rutvik Oza (The Lunchbox)
• Manoj Tyagi (Inkaar)
The moment I read story of Ship of Theseus, I wanted to see it.. it was so unique, even though I didn't love the film that much as many others did. Aashqiui 2 basis premise is something I have gone through too, 'a guy who wants to stop particular addict, but fails'.
Best Scene : Sanjay, Pandit and Idris rob a bank with masks of Dharmendra, Amitabh and Utpal (Ghanchakkar)
• Shahir wakes up, puts hat on, looks at city through window as he is about to do bank robbery (Dhoom 3)
• Milkha returns to his home, and breaks down remembering past memories (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag)
• Kabir doesn't want Naina to go away, and asks for few more moments with her (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani)
• Kundan wants to get up from hospital bed, if only Zoya loved him (Raanjhanaa)
It was fucking hilarious scene the moment they put those 3 masks on, and then the events happen.. film may had disappointed but this scene took the honors above the rest movies. Aamir's entry scene in Dhoom3 was one of best entry scenes I ever saw, gave me goosebumps.
Best Jodi : Ranbir - Deepika (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani)
• Ranveer - Deepika (Ram Leela)
• Kartik - Nushrat (Akaash Vani)
• Ranveer - Sonakshi (Lootera)
• Aditya - Shraddha (Aashiqui 2)
This was pretty easy one, Ranbir does win something in my list of awards. His pairing with Deepika looked so good that I can't wait to see them in Imtiaz Ali's film which may be even better than this. Ranveer-Deepika chemistry was the only good thing in Ram Leela.
Best Trailer : Dhoom3
• Lootera
• Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
• Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Dobaara
• Shuddh Desi Romance Raghu Gayatri, Shuddh Desi Romance Raghu Tara
Probably saw the trailer 100 times in first 4-5 days itself, such was the quality and my madness towards Dhoom3, excellent start to trailer, brilliant bgs and right punchlines with bandhay at right end made sure it was the best trailer of the year. Lootera scores for being different and poetic, 'koi kahaani likh rahi ho'.
Best Screenplay : Abhishek Kapoor, Chetan Bhagat, Supratik Sen, Pubali Chaudhuri (Kai Po Che)
• Nikhil Advani, Ritesh Shah, Suresh Nair (D Day)
• Somnath Dey and Shubendu Bhattacharya (Madras Cafe)
• Hansal Mehta, Sameer Gautam Singh, Apurva Asrani (Shahid)
• Vijay Krishna Acharya (Dhoom 3)
There was friendship of Raj, Sushant and Amit, then there was romantic angle between Raj and Amrita, and there was growing bonding between Sushant and a little muslim kid, plus 3 events of earthquake, godhra train and riots. All of this was very well executed with the screenplay, and special mention to how subtle the pre-climax scene was done.
Best Dialogue : Vishal Bharadwaj (Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola)
• Jaideep Sahni (Shuddh Desi Romance)
• Vijay Krishna Acharya (Dhoom 3)
• Kunal Khemu, Sita Menon, Raja Daipayan (Go Goa Gone)
• Subhash Kapoor (Jolly LLB)
Whenever I think of its dialogues, one that immediately comes to mind is Shabana saying 'Kursiyaan' instead of cheers (chairs). Another was Pankaj saying to Imran, 'Tu mao se, tu left le'..
Best Editing : Aarif Sheikh (D Day)
• Chandrashekhar Prajapati (Madras Cafe)
• Deepa Bhatia (Kai Po Che)
• Apurva Asrani (Shahid)
• Pravin Angre (B.A Pass)
Aarif's editing added the extra and much required thrill element into the movie whose narration otherwise would had not worked.
Best Choreography : Remo D'Souza, Badtmeez dil (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani)
• Vaibhavi Merchant, Kamli (Dhoom 3)
• Arvind Thakur, Bezubaan (Any Body Can Dance)
• Prabhu Deva, Gandi baat (R. Rajkumar)
• Samir and Arsh Tanna, Nagaada sang dhol, (Ram Leela)
If Benny's voice made the song peppy, then Remo's choreography made the visuals delight to watch with some good dance moves and that madness that was needed was very much there.
Best Background Score : Julius Packiam (Dhoom 3)
• Hitesh Sonik (Kai Po Che)
• Amit Trivedi (Lootera)
• Surender Sodhi (Special 26)
• Monty Sharma (Ram Leela)
Terrific work from Julius, not only to have the original re-worked theme from previous franchises which appealed but adding new ones specially the overtrue one which was personally my favorite one.
Best Cinematography : Ravi Varman (Ram Leela)
• Pankaj Kumar (Ship of Theseus)
• Kamaljeet Negi (Madras Cafe)
• Sudeep Chatterjee (Dhoom 3)
• Mahendra Shetty (Lootera)
Apart from Ranvir-Deepika chemistry, it was Ravi's cinematography to give some great shots, whether it was the violence or the peaceful looking Amritsar shots (hope I got it right).
Best Action : Conrad Palmisano and Sham Kaushal (Dhoom 3)
• Kaushal, Moses, Franz Spilhaus (Commando)
• Tom Struthers and John Street (D Day)
• Tony Ching Siu Tung and Sham Kaushal (Krrish 3)
• Manohar Verma (Madras Cafe)
Excellent work from Conrad-Sham due, what I really liked was the many stunts in every chase sequence that were stylish.. even though some of them got ruined by bad editing, still easily best of year.
Best Art Direction : Aditya Kanwar (Lootera)
• Sonal Sawant (Kai Po Che)
• Wasiq Khan (Ram Leela)
• Wasiq Khan (Raanjhanaa)
• Sumit Basu (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag)
Aditya's art direction made the feel of 50's era visible, specially the 1st half.
Best Costumes : Anaita Shroff, Rushi Sharma, Manoshi Nath (Dhoom 3)
• Manish Malhotra and Kunal Rawal (Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Dobara)
• Maxima Basu and Anju Modi (Ram Leela)
• Varsha and Shilpa (Shuddh Desi Romance)
• Subarna Rai Chaudhuri (Lootera)
I liked the costumes of Aamir and Katrina very much, infact Katrina looked too gorgeous in the entire 'Tu hi Junoon' song. For Aamir, I loved costumes of Shahir character mainly.
