  • Only deserving films were Kahaani, PST and GOW. Barfi was a hazardous watch for movie goers who have knowledge of classic hollywood movies. Barfi should have been slammed after humiliating India by getting kicked out of the Oscars in first round. Typical of Bollywood to reward such blatant plagiarism and also this further encourages useless filmmakers to continue this trend of plagiarism. Shame on FilmFake Awards. Every year you lose more layers of credibility and one day the famous black lady will be totally bare.
