Another award show that’s been on and off since 90s.

They certainly got a sponsor...

What I find laughable is this:

"Celebrating Excellence in Indian Cinema" when it is only about Hindi Cinema.

I wonder if these awards had been done as an ultimate possibility to award Dhurandhar... or will there be the regular IIfa awards (I only know about South filmindustry one).

Stupid to just give Aneet and Ahan newbie nomination only when they deserve the nomination for best actor and actress. Infact Aneet even deserves the best actress award.
