Filmfare
Turkey
Awards 2009
So here's your basic breakdown...
Maid In India Award
SHINEY AHUJA
It's not everyday that a wannabe actor gets arrested for jumping his maid so we are really going to make the most of this one. What was Shiney thinking?
The Knock On Wood Award
ZAYED KHAN and SOHAIL KHAN
Oak trees around the world are wilting with a complex from their stellar acting performances.
The Titanic Effect Award
BLUE
Blue is eligible for this honour because the audience had a perpetual sinking feeling while watching this one.
The 12 Deadly Signs Award
WHAT'S YOUR RAASHEE?
Four hours of Hurman Baweja is enough to send even the mightiest of hearts crawling into rehab.
The Plot Gone Potty Award
AKSHAY KUMAR
Akki sure needs to get a magnifying glass to scrutinise his scripts. Pronto! (Chandni Chowk..., Kambakkht Ishq and De Dana Dan!)
Lost Their Noodle Award
CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA
We've heard of the term 'losing the plot' but this one looks like it put its tail between its legs and jumped right over the great wall of China into bumbling oblivion.
The Nari Mahila Mandal Award
KAMBAKKHT ISHQ
Ah what an uplifting film! How it spoke of women's empowerment. And how it extolled the virtues of respecting women. (NOT!)
The Hardly Rock Award
AJAY DEVGN
Ajay Devgn... Rockstar... Really? It's a little like casting Chunky Pandey in the lead for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
The Behenji Turned Mad Award
RANI MUKERJI and AMRITA RAO
In this mad bid to resurrect one's diminishing career Rani's and Amrita's wardrobe also seemed diminished in their solo releases this year.
The Wonder Blunder Award
AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI
Despite the mystifying nature of its success, Ajab Prem's archaic storytelling had most of the audience wincing.
The Crash And Burn Award
ACID FACTORY
Wow, this one had thespians like Dino Morea, Fardeen Khan and Dia Mirza taking centrestage.
The Don't Show Us The Money Award
DE DANA DAN
Yawn, yet another tedious comic caper from recycle king Priyan.
The Rant On Fire Award
ASHUTOSH GOWARIKER
We prescribe happy pills for this director whom we love so much because the awards season is around the corner and nobody wants to hear Ashu rant away on stage again.
Delhi Dally Award
RAKEYSH OMPRAKASH MEHRA
We passed the entire 16 reels thinking, 'kahani kab shuru hogi'. Maybe like the monkeyman it existed only in the mind of the maker.
The Yuck Award
LUCK
It's deliciously ironic that a movie titled Luck totally ran out of it. Luck was so trite that it almost seemed like a spoof.
The Jelly Belly Award
SANJAY DUTT
A paunchy Sanjay Dutt in spandex was not a pretty sight in Blue.
The Duh Award
SHADOW
This was one blind man's buff no one wanted to play.
For all those who're upset, here's a pinch of salt. Others who seek comprehensive explanations and an insight into the Turkey psyche, run to the stores and pick up a copy of Filmfare dated December 23, 2009 with the sizzling Katrina Kaif on the cover.
