From small-budget gems to big Bollywood blockbusters, some of the best films in the recent years hit the theatres in 2016. It was a year that saw a transition of sorts with the cinephiles accepting genuine performances than just make-believe. Despite a few dreadful misfires, viewers found Bollywood films/performances spanning across crucial issues – drug abuse, mental illness, distorted gender expectations, a dysfunctional family, etc - that were worth bringing to the fore.
In the fourth edition of News18 Movies Awards in association with United Colours of Benetton, we select nominees in various popular categories and allow our readers decide the outcome.
Rishi Kapoor's brilliant performance as a 90-year old patriarch of a dysfunctional family was a treat. With some of the best punches, Kapoor was a comic relief in the film reminding us of the coolest grandparents in our lives. Kapoor's spontaneity and his acting prowess made his role of the most remarkable one in the film.
Anant got the golden ticket to star alongside Salman Khan in Sultana and he made that count. Playing Sultan's best friend, Anant was brilliant on his part. His accent and sincerity made the audience take notice of him. The restrained with which he played the confidante of a fallen wrestler and helped him get back to the ring was brilliant.
