We continue the nominations list and predictions with:
Lead Actor Male: Ajay Devgan gets a Singham pranam for his mooby cop role. And since no awards function is complete without Amitabh Bachchan in the front row seat, there is always a reservation for the Big B in the Best Actor category, irrespective of his role being in a movie called Aarakshan (what a coincidence!). And oh, how were we to know that Arjun was the lead guy in ZNMD – oh, he gets the chick! Pfft! Ranbir Kapoor’s Jordan (Rockstar) makes it to list as well, and the two Khans are up for it as well – but which movies, you ask. Bodyguard and Don2. Go figure!
OKS Prediction: If Filmfare has any sort of self respect, and integrity left, the award should go to Ranbir Kapoor for Rockstar. But then, if it does go to Ranbir, I can see a lot of walk-outs from the front few rows already.

Lead Actor Female: Behold everyone, Katrina Kaif’s nominated for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. <insert blank expression>
Next up is, Priyanka Chopra for 7 Khoon Maaf. <insert meh expression>
Mahie Gill for Saheb Biwi Gangster <insert non-reactive expression>
Vidya Balan – No One Killed Jessica / The Dirty Picture <insert “I knew it” expression>
OKS Prediction: Vidya Balan – The Dirty Picture. You can bet on this!
Director: Going by the Filmfare nods, the Akhtars had a good year, as both Zoya and Farhaan are nominated. I can see ZNMD getting a Best Director nod. But Don 2 getting a nod is a complete farce! And what is with this whole Abhinay Deo being the next big thing hoopla? He made Game, beat that! And Delhi Belly wasn’t extraordinary by any standards. Where are Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK for Shor in the City? Where is Anand Rai for Tanu Weds Manu? And even Anubhav Sinha’s mammoth work in Ra.One has been ignored. Unfair Filmfare. Milan Luthria gets his well deserved nomination for The Dirty Picture, and ending the list is Raj Kumar Gupta for No One Killed Jessica.

OKS Prediction: Zoya Akhtar – ZNMD. Coz, it’s Filmfare <insert fake plastic smile>
Film: The nominees here are consistent with the Best Director ones, so no use repeating my angst all over again. But really, does Don 2 feature in anyone’s Top 6 Bollywood movies of 2011. Where is Dhobi Ghat ? I repeat..Where the FUCK is Dhobi Ghat? Why is Shor in the City not being nominated, and neither are Tanu Weds Manu, Shaitan, Stanley Ka Dabba.
OKS Prediction: Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

First WTF – what have Indians come to now in usage of foul words in articles such as these ? Not just here from websites such as IndiaFm or TOI or Rediff to name a few I cannot believe at the filth Indians are suddenly capable of writing on message boards -surely one can express a view in a decent manner- I do not even see usage of such words on Yahoo Canada and Yahoo US headlines message boards- as for Filmfare Awards it lost its originality long ago. You mentioned Dhobhi Ghat – I can name quite a few who could not stand it – that is found it boring- as for Don 2 – SRK unlike in Ra One was at his very best and so was Ranbir in Rockstar – difference Ranbir’s acting great but in a mediocre movie. About Chamak Challo song well I know children under 5 – even under 1 dancing to the song so no doubt it is a catchy song – true other songs are better – now should the award go to a song that is unique in the sense that it got little kids swaying. Let me also add that ZNMD was also not liked by friends I know here in Toronto and New York – so what appeals to some may not appeal to others. Cannot please everyone. One friend who could not stand SRK in Ra.One said after watching Don 2 that he would watch a movie like that a second time.

First WTF – you start with a WTF and expect me to let this post be foul words free. NO! #EPICFail
Secondly, this is my blog, where I express my opinions. Yes, I believe expressions can be conveyed in whichever “decent” matter. But I choose NOT to. Because the emphatic “fuck” expression states can hardly be recreated by a censored speech. No one questions Scorsese for using the same word when he makes an angry gangster speak so. Yes, I am not a gangster, but I am a real person, living in a real world, and often feeling angry.
So your argument to make blogs refrain from using expletives is completely invalid. And that is my opinion, and since this is my blog, that’s it.
As for other websites such as TOI, Rediff and IndiaFM, I am not accountable for them. But I can assure you that I have not read a single article with the F word, on these websites, unless they are asterixed.
As for your opinion on Don 2, ZNMD, Rockstart etc., everybody is entitled to their own opinion. What I express here on my blog are my opinions. And hence, I have stated them as OKS Predictions.
Cheers!

@nazirmo, Very well said!! We have all become slaves to this filthy language and environment! One can’t talk to his / her friends without using abusive words. Its a matter of shame. I fully agree to you that we should express ourselves in a decent manner. Usage of abuses indicates only one thing, and i dont want to mention that.
You’re right to mention that one can’t find this kind of language in the sites you mentioned. I don’t know what kind of modernization this is where using F word is fashion and getting involved in pre / post marital affairs is a necessity!!! Of course i must not dive deep into the latter as its out of context here but ya i feel bad for the youths who very much take pride in speaking bad language and spreading filth. It applies to the author of this blog as well. I liked your posts but not the language. Anger is something that no one can control, but does it mean you’re licensed to throw whatever comes to your mouth? RIP decency. RIP clothes. RIP culture.
