Here's the list of the honours at the just concluded "Ghanta" awards which recognise the worst of Hindi cinema unfailingly every single year just like the "Razzies" do in the case of the English film industry year after year........
Taking pride of place in the year gone by (2015) was the Sooraj Barjatya produced and directed "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" (a box office smash hit) which was accorded the dubious distinction of being adjudged the "Worst Film Of the Year 2015" as well as it's leading Sonam Kapoor being bestowed with the much coveted "Worst Actress of the year Award" while the all but forgotten Neil Nitin Mukesh notched up one more feather in his cap by being crowned as the "Worst Supporting Actor of the Year" award for his stellar performance as leading light Salman Khan's brother in the very same masterpiece.........
Shahrukh Khan who till yesterday was preening and basking in the success of his recent box office success "Fan" which also fetched him rave reviews for his diabolical performance as the crazed "Fan" with a death wish from both carping critics as well as fawning fans was resoundingly brought down a notch or two as his much hyped and panned performance in his home production "Dilwale" saw him being crowned as the "Worst Actor of the Year" for a performance that was supposedly to become his crowning glory as the same had ended up reuniting the much celebrated Shahrukh Khan-Kajol jodi on screen after five a five long year hiatus......
Other notables who ended up with egg on their face included the much vaunted Vikas Bahl (of "Queen" fame) who ended up with the "Worst Director of the Year" award for churning out the box office turkey "Shandaar" which send audiences into a salubrious slumber from which they are yet to awaken as well as Salman Khan's supposedly priceless discovery Suraj Pancholi who achieved the rare distinction of being crowned the "Worst Debutant of the Year".........
It will not be fair to conclude this tongue in cheek write up without mentioning the distinction notched up by noted film maker Karan Johar as the "Most Miscasted Actor in a Negative Role" for his seemingly menacing and terrifying performance as a gangster from the much romanticised 1960's in Anurag Kashyap's nightmarish "Bombay Velvet" as well as the newly wed seductive damsel Bipasha Basu who covered herself in glory and distinction by taking home the hotly contested "Worst Couple of the Year" award for her demonic efforts in the horror flick "Alone" that only ended up spooking her and her director as the audiences wisened up pretty fast and gave the theatres featuring this one a wide berth......
And so the curtain rings down on one more edition of the much anticipated and awaited "Ghanta" awards which will be reprised unfailingly every year as long as the Hindi film industry keeps churning out such priceless gems by the dozen every single year.........
