Bollywood's most sought-after film awards sponsored by Elder Pharmaceuticals leading brand fair one Fairness cream was held on Saturday at Mumbai's plush Yashraj Studio. The fun and excitement quotient, of course, remained the same.

The evening belonged indisputably to three films, which divided the honours between them: Rang De Basanti, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's postmodern take on pre-independence revolutionaries, Omkara, Vishal Bhardwaj's dark and hard-hitting adaptation of Othello and Lage Raho Munnabhai, Raj Kumar Hirani's endearing look at Mahatma Gandhi through a gangster's eyes.

Anuj Saxena, Director-Marketing Elder Pharma says, "I think awards this time were truly different and magnificent. In my opinion this is the way awards should be held with style and panache. I am quite sure that the super success of this event will pull more people towards it next year".

Anuj Saxena presented the award to Kangana Ranaut along with Sony's Kunal Das Gupta for Sony Fair One Face of the year award. Mr. Jagdish Saxena and Sneh Saxena presented the award to Kangana Ranaut for the best debut. Coincidently they presented both these awards to Vidya Balan Last year.

While RDB swept up five of the main awards (Best Film, Best Director, Best Music, Best Cinematography and Best Editing) as well as Best Actor (Critics) for Aamir Khan and the R D Burman award, Omkara's tally was a eight and Lage Raho Munnabhai's five. The Best Actor and Best Actress awards went to Hrithik Roshan for Dhoom 2 and Kajol for Fanaa.

Through the evening MC Shah Rukh
Khan kept the audience in splits with his one-liners and deadpan asides. Samples: "My resolution this year: Main Bachchan saab ki koi bhi film nahin karoonga.'' SRK brought the house down, reminding viewers of the laugh-riot he had created with co-host Saif Ali Khan at the Filmfare awards function a few years ago.
