Time and again we have seen how the mainstream award shows of Bollywood have not been fair to those who have been true to their art, probably because they don’t bring-in the kind of fame and attention as some big-names of showbiz do.
Whatever the machinery or politics behind these award shows of Bollywood is, the talent suffers eventually – as filmmakers who indulge into experimental cinema, without worrying about the commercial aspects of it, aren’t recognized enough for their bold takes as they should.
Similarly for actors, there have been numerous instances where Filmfare awards – the oldest mainstream film award of the country, has not been awarded to the most critically acclaimed performances of the year, but to those who have major star power and backing behind them.
