But the
strongest of the contenders for almost all
the awards were just two films – Aamir
Khan’s Taare Zameen Par and Yash Raj’s
Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Chak De.
The awards finally ended up as a give-and-take
affair with Chak De walking away with the
Best Film; Shah Rukh being adjudged the
Best Actor, and the ensemble of girls bagging
the Best Supporting actress awards. TZP,
on the other hand, bagged the best supporting
actor award for Aamir Khan. Awards for Best
Story, Best Child Actor and Best Lyricist
went to Amol Gupte, Darsheel and Prasoon
Joshi, respectively. Shimit Amin shared
the Best Director Award for Chak De with
Aamir for TZP.
The Bachchans had to eat the humble pie
with most of the awards remaining elusive
to them. Even Abhishek’s Guru only
ended up bagging the Best Music Director
Award for A.R Rahman. Kareena Kapoor was
the only unanimous choice for the Best Actress
Award for her scintillating performance
in Jab We Met. The Lifetime Achievement
award went to veteran actor Manoj Kumar.
The evening had its share of song and dance
performances by leading stars with Shah
Rukh grooving to the Dard-e Disco number
from his Om Shanti Om. Sadly, this much
talked about film could only garner the
Best Choreographer Award for its director
Farah Khan and Best Newcomer (Female) for
Deepika Padukone.
