"Omkara" rocks. Koi shaq?
The annual expletive-generating-exercise that is the Filmfare awards nominations is at hand. They make it easy by ignoring what is IMO, the best music of the year, in the Best Music Category. Yes, that's right, no nomination for Vishal Bhardwaj for Omkara.Now that you've have rubbed your eyes in astonishment at that sentence, have recovered from the smarting pain in your arm from pinching it, and have cleared your throat of half-uttered *bleep*s at seeing Irk-sar and Doomed-Too in that list, let us rejoice. Vishal got away lucky with the music. What more stamp of quality than not being nominated for a Filmfare?
Grab your chance, Vishal. Cash in by selling Omkara audio CDs and DVDs with the new tagline: "Not nominated for the 52nd Filmfare Awards". And be careful. Don't win Best Director.

Omkara music is the most refreshing music I have heard for a long time. With unconventional lyrics and rhythm.
This is preposterous.
sometimes it's good not to be in the league of the extraordinary gentlemen, i guess...
a coincidence? dunno,

and to put it plainly, me thinks that bollywood cant stand true, unpretentious talent, moreso if they are outsiders (literally and figuratively)
kamal hassan, maniratnam, kashyap,vishal bhardwaj...
and for all the holy crap about modernisation, "creativity", corporatisation it is still a distributor friendly junkyard quite akin to my telugu land... it shall take light years or will it be my grandkids watching 75th FF awards when a KJ or a DJ doesnt get a POWER award...
my guess for the next lifetime
a-chee-vement (read appeasement) award: Rakesh Roshan
and finally, christ!!! i think i will have to blame you, if i get lost following the links that your blog abounds in... always craved for all baradwaj rangan's rants at one place... thanks!
Himesh Reshammiya getting nomination in place of Bhardwaj!!
thats sad day for Bollywood.
Filmfare is disgrace anyway!
Time to start hawking Raja Hindustani DVDs with a raffle for CDs of the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai soundtrack. In addition to the please-all-concerned algorithm, I think we can safely assume that the combinatorial device adopted in selecting the year's "best" is choosing the highest earning pieces of dead pigeon wings; who says it's a sad day for Bollywood? It's just another day in parodeux.
