Awards and other fanfare

[NOV]

[tscii]
56th annual South Filmfare Awards



In the Tamil section, Subramaniyapuram walked away with the Best Film and Best Director Award for M Sasi Kumar. It's a gripping tale of murder, betrayal and revenge, which also stars Sameera Reddy. :shock:

Suriya won the Best Actor Award for Vaaranam Aayiram, an astonishing all-encompassing melodrama which takes in the power of love, father-son relationships, drug addiction, kidnapping, terminal illness and even the Oklahoma bombing. Inspired partly by Forrest Gump and also the Dutch movie Character, it's a tour de force for Suriya who once again demonstrates his ability as one of the most versatile actors in Kollywood. Simran also picked up the Best Supporting Female Award for the movie.

In his speech, Suriya paid tribute to Kamal Hassan: "I see this award as a blessing from Kamal sir. I'm a big fan of his and I'm sure he's watching my progress. I did two characters in VA, which in itself was a big task. Just imagine a man playing 10 characters in a single film! Only Kamal can do that."

Best Female Actor went to Parvathi for Poo, a tale of devoted love. Parvathi was overwhelmed by her Black Lady award. "I'm honoured to be standing on this big stage. I did the things I like in front of the camera for Poo and I got an award for that!"

Best Supporting Actor went to Ajmal for his role in Anjathey, a hard-nosed tale of divided loyalties and gangsterism.

I am happy that he has chosen Kamal's route instead of mass route. What more can an ordinary tamil film fan ask for. :D

Nerd, NOV while agreeing to the list, did not write that. :roll:

ippa kamal enna mass padam pannathe illainu solreengala??

deep down inside every hero wants to do a annamalai or basha.. that's why he did sri, aaru, vel, ayan etc.. nobody should be compared to kamal.. it's all propaganda to make him appeal to both set (kamal a.k.a class & mass) of fans.

:sigh2: i spent too much time about him.. :wave:

[NOV]

yeah, agree with you that kamal has done masala films - but what sets him apart is he also does good films - a trait that is being forgotten by top heros.

that is why you have small time good films like naadodigal, subramaniyapuram, poo, anjaadhE, which draw no top hero.

I am glad that Surya, at least in his generation, is placing importance on doing good films.

KH has won a whopping 18 filmfare awards for "best actor" (across 5 languages). There was a time where KH himself got bored of getting these awards and told the filmfare bureau to stop giving him any more filmfare awards, rather jokingly at that. His last best actor award was for "Hey Ram" and since then looks like the filmfare award committe has relegated him to the "hall of fame" list and encourage new talents. :)

New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS) Director Priyadarshan's off-beat Tamil film 'Kanjeevaram' has won the best feature film award at the 55th National Film Awards 2007, while southern actor Prakash Raj has been adjudged best actor for his performance in the same film, it was announced here Monday.

Renowned Malayalam film director Adoor Gopalakrishnan is best director for 'Naalu Pennungal' while Kannada actress Uma Shri is best actress for 'Gulabi Talkies'.

Bollywood star Aamir Khan's directorial debut 'Taare Zameen Par' gets the best family welfare award and Prasoon Joshi the award for the best lyrics for 'Maa' from the same film about a dyslexic child. The song also gets Shankar Mahadevan the National Award for best playback singer.

Set in the backdrop of Kanjeevaram's handloom silk industry from the 1920s to 1948, 'Kanjeevaram' is the story of a non-political weaver who leans towards communism and soon becomes a revolutionary leader and an advocate of the ideology, only to find himself caught between personal needs and his pursuit of social equality.
