Taare, Rahman shine @ Star Screen

The awards season of the year kicked off with the Nokia Fourteenth Annual Star Screen Awards at Mumbai last evening. The evening was all glitz and glam with every famous personality in Bollywood attending the gala event. Contrary to previous years, there was tough competition in all the categories.

But the strongest of the contenders for almost all the awards were just two films – Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par and Yash Raj’s Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Chak De. The awards finally ended up as a give-and-take affair with Chak De walking away with the Best Film; Shah Rukh being adjudged the Best Actor, and the ensemble of girls bagging the Best Supporting actress awards. TZP, on the other hand, bagged the best supporting actor award for Aamir Khan. Awards for Best Story, Best Child Actor and Best Lyricist went to Amol Gupte, Darsheel and Prasoon Joshi, respectively. Shimit Amin shared the Best Director Award for Chak De with Aamir for TZP. The Bachchans had to eat the humble pie with most of the awards remaining elusive to them. Even Abhishek’s Guru only ended up bagging the Best Music Director Award for A.R Rahman. Kareena Kapoor was the only unanimous choice for the Best Actress Award for her scintillating performance in Jab We Met. The Lifetime Achievement award went to veteran actor Manoj Kumar. The evening had its share of song and dance performances by leading stars with Shah Rukh grooving to the Dard-e Disco number from his Om Shanti Om. Sadly, this much talked about film could only garner the Best Choreographer Award for its director Farah Khan and Best Newcomer (Female) for Deepika Padukone.
