Sony to re-telecast Filmfare awards
Subhash K Jha
Sony TV is trying to undo its Black Saturday. Following the furore over the accidental (or not-so-accidental) blacking out of Abhishek Bachchan's performance during the live telecast of the Filmfare awards kast Saturday, the channel has decided to re-telecast the event this Saturday, at 7 p.m.
The decision has been taken at the highest quarters at Sony Entertainment, following the outrage expressed over the bizarre occurrence.
Sony's official spokesperson Anupama Mandloi however tones down the purpose of the damage-control exercise. "Of course we've taken the decision to re-telecast the Filmfare awards because Abhishek Bachchan's performance couldn't be seen by our viewers. But the other performances like Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai were also vital to the shows. And those who missed the earlier telecast would've the chance to catch all the live excitement."
What measures are being taken to ensure that the telecasting fiasco on Saturday doesn't recur? "We can only do what we have to do. Namely telecast the event. Since we had no hand in the break of signal on Saturday we can only hope it won't happen this time," replies Anupama.

Nice article
One for the road
We all know Madhuri Dixit's special chemistry with Saroj Khan. And we all know how there was an exception made during Dil To Pagal Hai, when Shiamak Davar choreographed for Madhuri. That now may be history, but Madhuri, it seems has not forgotten the brilliant work done by Davar. At the Filmfare awards, where Madhuri's act was the only one to be choreographed by Saroj Khan, the diva showered lavish praises on Davar. And Davar, we believe, still remains smitten by the Madhuri charisma.

Nice article, really Abhishek needs to grow up
Abhi needs a chill pill
Alright... Abhishek, so you're hot 'n happening. And you have all the gals gushing over you. And it's taken you a while to get there, too. But how about chillin' a bit before your fans begin to think otherwise? Wondering what this is all about?
Abhi's behaviour at the recently held Filmfare Awards, of course! Considering Black has been raking it at every single award in town, when Amitabh was announced as the best actor, it was hardly a surprise. What was shocking, was AB baby's reaction to this.
The moment did call for loads of smiles, but what was he thinking when he went up jumping and screaming in front of the screen for his papa dearest? Relax, Abhishek. maybe you need to learn a thing or two more from your dad. Get classy, if not more!
