Amitabh Bachchan’s tremendous service to the Bollywood film industry was marked with the ’40 Years of Greatness Award’ recognising the decades of work the great actor has contributed to Indian celluloid.

Prabodh Chandra Dey, popularly known as Manna Dey, was given the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ for his contribution to many songs and the music for a variety of films. This was his second Filmfare award, as he won his first back in 1970 for “Ae Bhai Zara Dekh Ke Chalo,” a song from “Mera Naam Joker.”

Dabangg won top film and six awards in total on the night. Sonakshi Sinha picked up the award for ‘Best Debut Actor (Female)’ giving her instant recognition in her first real role in a Bollywood movie. Abhinav Kashyap the director of Dabangg when asked about a sequel said: “Most definitely, I will be directing the Dabangg sequel.”

However, the night for acting and directing talent went to My Name is Khan with SRK, Kajol and Karan Johar all winning their respective and key awards of the ceremony.

SRK in his emotional speech when collecting his awards said: “I want to take this award for my daughter. I wanted to make her wear a red gown and walk in with me on the red carpet. But she’s unwell.”

So, another year Filmfare Awards is over and many of the popular names of Bollywood have gone home accompanied by special ‘black lady’ on the night.
