the indian film industry - mainly bollywood gives away several awards every year.. be it Film fare awards, Zee, Manickchand, or IIFA. But how far are these awards really given to the people who really deserve them. Year after year, only comercial films are recognised and the so called art films, arent considered to be worth an award?
Do these films really deserve it or are they given the awards because of their name, the people they are backed up by?
Extending it even to actors - good actors like Rahul Bose, Aamir Khan are many times not recognised for their wonderful work ( they are not even nominated) while people like SRK sweep the awards practically every year. Do they deserve te awards or do they win it because of their influence in the industry.
Then there is the IIFA awards - the Indian International Filmfare Awards. They key word being INDIAN. Predominantly all the movies there are from Bolloywood. India does produce many more films apart from Bolloywood films. While, they may not be as popular, they should be given due credit. I am a tamilian, and have watched many Tamil films and other regional films like Malayalam, Telungu, Kanada and some of them are really good. So why dont they reeive their due credit?
Is the industry today only recognising commercial films backed by influencial people? I would think so, would u?
Your comments....
