SCOOP!! & NEWS Veer Zaara dominates Bollywood Awards in Atlantic City01st May 2005 19.45 IST By Agencies Yash Chopra's blockbuster Veer Zaara dominated the annual Bollywood Awards in the Atlantic City (US) winning top honours in six categories, including best film, best direction and best actor. Veer Zaara received the best film award, at the star-studded ceremony at Trump Taj Mahal Casino last night but Shah Rukh Khan , adjudged the best actor, was not present to receive the trophy in person. 
A visibly happy Chopra accepted the award for best direction for Veer Zaara, which is based on a love affair between an Indian man and Pakistani woman, played by Shahrukh and Preity Zinta respectively. A highlight of the ceremony was Madan Mohan, who died in 1975, winning the award for best music in Veer-Zaara. The award was accepted by his grandson. Chopra used for the movie some of the composer's unused composition which were re-recorded under the direction of maestro's son Sanjeev Kohli. This was first time that a dead composer's unused compositions were used for an entire length of a commercial movie which went on to become a superhit. The award for best story went to Aditya Chopra for Veer-Zaara and Manish Malhotra got the top honour for designing costumes in the same movie. Rani Mukherjee and Abhishek Bachchan scored a double each. Mukherjee bagged awards for both best actress and best supporting actress for her performances in Hum Tum and Yuva respectively. Abhishek Bachchan won awards for both best villain and best supporting actor for Yuva. The awards are based on polling among Non-Resident Indians, after which an experts committee made the final selection. | CRICKET ZONE Live Cricket Coverage Song Lyrics ALSO READ scoop ~ Hello – Movie Review ~ Akshay Kumar replaces Amitabh in Deepa Mehta film ~ Mona Singh joins '3 Idiots' ~ 'Roadside Romeo' gets shorter? ~ Arjun Bajwa being sought by Telugu filmmakers ~ Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar bhai bhai ~ Shweta Kumar not scared of comparisons ~ Amitabh Bachchan's Hollywood foray still a distant dream ( more in scoop ) happenings ~ Shahrukh to be star attraction of Singapore carnival ~ Rekha working on her autobiography ( 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...
