SCOOP!! & NEWS Bachchan’s ‘grouse’ against Filmfare29th Jan 2005 22.48 IST By ApunKaChoice Bureau Mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan recently unveiled a golden statue to mark the 50th anniversary of Filmfare awards. But Bachchan expressed his grouse against the Filmfare awards for not honouring his idol Dilip Kumar with the ''Best Actor'' trophy for the latter's performance in the film ''Ganga Jamuna''. 
The thespian's performance in the film had been the best during that year, he said on the occasion, which was a walk down memory lane for film stars at the 50th anniversary of Filmfare awards. ''We artistes crave and seek recognition. We have been critical, cynical, frustrated about the Filmfare awards…But, we have always thought about it and desired it,'' Bachchan said. Dilip Kumar, who was the first recipient of the Filmfare award on March 23, 1954 for his performance in ''Daag'', said he would not be able to hold the ''golden lady'' anymore but would surely attend the function to see Bachchan winning it this year. Melody Queen Lata Mangeshkar recalled that for the first two years, Filmfare did not honour playback singers and lyricists. ''I disagreed with their contention that even in Hollywood, there were no awards for music. In India, music is an integral part of the film industry, and I was happy when I won the playback singing award for Madhumati''. The first awards presentation function, held at the Metro Cinema, saw ''Do Bigha Zameen'' winning the best film award and its director Bimal Roy, the best director award. Meena Kumari won the award for ''Baiju Bawra'' and Dilip Kumar for ''Daag''. The best music award had gone to Naushad for ''Baiju Bawra''. Padma Bhushan awardee Yash Chopra suggested that the Filmfare should honour Dilip Kumar, Lata and Naushad for their contribution to cinema, in its 50th year. ''They had won the first Filmfare awards and they should be honoured in the 50th year as well,'' he said. Javed Akhtar , who has received 13 Filmfare trophies so far, revealed that he felt the same excitement each time he went up to receive the award. ''As an assistant to Kamal Amrohi, I lived in the costume room of the studio. It was in this room, I found the costumes of ''Pakeezah'' and three Filmfare trophies of Late Meena Kumari. I would hold the trophy and look at myself in the mirror,'' he recalled. | CRICKET ZONE Live Cricket Coverage Song Lyrics ALSO READ scoop ~ Amitabh Bachchan – a fighter in health and sickness ~ Amitabh Bachchan hospitalized on his 66th birthday ~ Preity Zinta played cupid for Isha Koppikar ~ Mallika Sherawat to play oomph diva from south ~ 'Fashion is the emotional journey of a model' ~ Hello – Movie Review ~ Akshay Kumar replaces Amitabh in Deepa Mehta film ~ Mona Singh joins '3 Idiots' ( more in scoop ) happenings ~ Amitabh Bachchan to stay in hospital for 2-3 days ~ Amitabh Bachchan to return as a game show host ( more in happenings ) AKC HOT INDEX ECARDS > New Year, Diwali, Birthday, Valentines, Love, Christmas MOVIES Hello, Drona, Kidnap, Welcome To Sajjanpur, Hulla, The Last Lear, 1920, Saas Bahu Aur Sensex, Ru-Ba-Ru, A Wednesday, Rock On, Phoonk, Chamku, Dostana , Heroes , Karzzzz , Golmaal Returns MUSIC Drona , Kidnap celebs » wallpapers » the celeb A-Z who's in » Katrina Kaif | Deepika Padukone | Ranbir Kapoor | Harman Baweja | Aishwarya Rai | Abhishek Bachchan | Imran Khan | Shahrukh Khan | Salman Khan | Aamir Khan | Hrithik Roshan | Akshay Kumar | Zayed Khan | Saif Ali Khan | John Abraham | Shahid Kapur | Kareena Kapoor | Vidya Balan | Priyanka Chopra | Rani Mukherjee | Mallika Sherawat | Bipasha Basu | Preity Zinta | Kajol | Neha Dhupia | Sameera Reddy | Juhi Chawla | Karisma Kapoor | Madhuri Dixit | Zeenat Aman | Payal Rohatgi | Sneha Ullal | Mahima Chaudhary | Meghna Naidu | Gayatri Joshi | Rakhi Sawant | Bhumika Chawla | Lisa Ray | Dimple Kapadia | Ayesha Takia | Dia Mirza | Sushmita Sen | Amisha Patel | Esha Deol | Amrita Rao | Amrita Arora | Genelia D'Souza | Arjun Rampal | Amitabh Bachchan | Vivek Oberoi | Raima Sen | Riya Sen | Rekha | Rimi Sen | Nigar Khan | Tanushree Dutta | Yana Gupta | Deepal Shaw | Shilpa Shetty | Celina Jaitley | Sonam Kapoor | Neha Oberoi | Nisha Rawal | Manjari Fadnis | Kamal Haasan | Rajnikant | Asin | Sanjay Dutt | Shahid Kapoor | Sherlyn Chopra | Farhan Akhtar | Prachi Desai | Koel Purie | Shahana Goswami | Adah Sharma | Kangana Ranaut | Anushka Sharma | Mugdha Godse | Masumeh Makhija | Minissha Lamba | Vidya Malvade | Malaika Arora | more...
