Nd then these people pretend like they have achieved a milestone which irks me tremendously, like whats this self obsession that u cant even judge ur performance
Wiki says the actual Dadasaheb Phalke is the one given out by the Indian government and to only one person a year.
And also this excerpt: "Several other awards and film festivals have been named after Dadasaheb Phalke, sometimes leading to confusion. Such awards include the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Awards and the Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Awards, which are unrelated to the award conferred by the Directorate of Film Festivals. Some prominent filmmakers, such as Shyam Benegal, have proposed that the Government of India step in to prevent such use of the Dadasaheb Phalke name but the Information and Broadcasting ministry has said that it could not do so since the names of the new awards are not an exact copy"
No wonder we get confused by it. And then people try to just use the name to elevate themselves.
@bold: Honestly, acting seems like a narcissistic endeavor, so I'm not surprised that self-obsession drives the industry. I think being self-centered is part of the job. How else could people commit to looking good and putting on a performance always?
