Let us imagine for a while that Indian movie awards indeed awarded the very best of cinema every year. That it wasn’t just about the glamorous gowns, pre-recorded and awfully edited performances, and raking-in the moolah with tonnes of sponsors and advertisements in-between. That the award shows in India, indeed patted the backs of the ones who achieved something extraordinary in the field of cinema and not the ones who made the biggest bucks or set the box office on fire.
Too hard to imagine, is it?
We’ll help you with it.
So we have decided to create our own list of 2017’s greatest achievements in Bollywood, putting together ‘the nominees’ and also ‘the winners.’
