And just when you think that's enough, they come up with something totally outlandish like "best techy actress" or "best star of the female." Like, what the heck?
bold: there are slight differences:
Critics choice is Filmfare (a jury we don't know - or do we?)
Popular is the boxoffice pull + final success + good performance (Filmfare it is - allegedly - public voting / Zee it is a jury which is shown on the website... they also take in account the results of the public voting)
Viewer's choice (Zee through public voting after having elected the popular awards).
I don't take in account newly created awards like this time the Reel Award...they are bogus to either earn quick bucks or to reduce the taxes or to launder money...these Awards come and go...
Except the National Awards there are only the above mentioned Hindi filmindustry awards I relate to because they are the most consistent ones. One is print media (TOI group), the other visual media (Zee TV etc.)
