The makers of Dangal did not send in an
entry for the 18th IIFA Weekend and
Awards, the event's organisers said on
Tuesday after receiving flak for ignoring
appreciated films like Dangal and Airlift in its
nomination pack. The gala was held in New
York last week. Neerja was given the Best
Film, Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury walked
away with the Best Direction award for Pink,
while Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were
lauded as Best Actors for Udta Punjab.

After questions were raised about the
credibility of the awards event and censor
board chief Pahlaj Nihalani called it an
"international farce, the IIFA organisers
issued a statement. "So basically, in IIFA,
forms are sent to various production
houses. They fill those forms up and send it
back to us. Those forms are then put out to
the industry for voting and from there it
becomes a nomination. So, Dangal has not
sent their entry in. We would love Dangal to
be a part of it. I think it's a movie that's
broken all records. We love Aamir Khan and
the two little girls. They did a great job. But
unfortunately, they didn't send their entry in.
We feel sad, said Andre Timmins, Director
Wizcraft International.
Dangal performed excellently at the box
office and created new records for Indian
cinema in China. Aamir, who features in the
lead, is known to avoid Bollywood award
functions.
