Ghanta Awards 2014 – Nomination Special

The annual Ghanta Awards that are given to the worst Bollywood films was held in New Delhi. Ghanta Awards,were started by INvision Entertainment along with Prashant Rajkhowa, and are presented by the East India Company, comprising Banatwalla, Sorabh Pant, Sahil Shah, Kunal Rao, Atul Khatri and Sapan Verma. The nominees are decided by a consortium of film critics, and the winners are decided through voting on the website theghantas.com.

As per sources, at the recent ‘Ghanta Awards 2014 – Nomination Special’ comedian Azeem Banatwalla had the task of presenting the Shit Nobody Saw Award. The movies were – Sona Spa, Satya 2 and Issaq.

Well the common thing in the three was Makarand Deshpande, as a director or an actor. He ended with a simple recipe for producers who wanted their films to have a fate unlike those mentioned earlier : do not associate with Makarand Deshpande.

Recently even Bollywood celebrities have asked them to make jokes on their movies such as Hrithik Roshan to make jokes about Krrish, while Anurag Kashyap, whose film That Girl in Yellow Boots, was nominated for Worst Holier-Than-Thou Movie, encouraged his Twitter followers to vote for him. In 2012, Sonam Kapoor proved herself a great sport by showing up to receive her WTF Was That Award for Mausam. These are encouraging signs for the comics, forit proves that our celebrity have an ability to laugh at themselves.

Apart from the categories of the worst actor (won by Prateik for Issaq), worst film (Himmatwala) and worst director (Sajid Khan), the awards also had nominations in inventive categories such as the WTF Was That award (Race 2), which celebrates the outlandish leaps of imagination found in our films.
