amazing filmfare...

some times back i was reading about indian film industry's one of the most prominent( did i say prominent) award ....filmfare. although aamir khan doesn't accept it but there are no. of peoples out there who takes it as if they are getting academy award. i found some strange and shocking facts about filmfare. here are they.


In 1975, Yash Chopra's Deewaar swept all the awards except, surprisingly, for the lead actor Amitabh Bachchan.

One of Filmfare’s mighty losers has been ‘Sholay’, which won only one award in 1975- for Best Editing!!!

Lata Mangeshkar refused to accept her first Filmfare award because the Filmfare statuette was designed in the shape of a woman and “the woman had no clothes on”; the award had to be wrapped with a handkerchief for it to be accepted by the Nightingale.

any way the highest no. of filmfare awards has been bagged by movie black(11), best actor dilip kumar(8) and best actress nootan(5).

love....

and that's true
but what they don't tell you is that once time starts again....it moves extra fast to catch up."
