Filmfare Awards Best Actor (Male)

Aamir Khan (Ghajini)
Hrithik Roshan (Jodhaa Akbar)
Akshay Kumar (Singh Is King)
Naseeruddin Shah (A Wednesday)
Shahrukh Khan (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi)
Abhishek Bachchan (Dostana)

We say – As many Indicine members feel, Shahid Kapoor deserved a nomination ahead of Abhishek Bachchan.

Filmfare Awards Best Actor (Female)

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Jodhaa Akbar)
Priyanka Chopra (Fashion)
Asin (Ghajini)
Anushka Sharma (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi)
Kajol (U Me Aur Hum)

We say – If Asin and Anushka deserved nominations, then why no Genelia D’Souza or Prachi Desai? Genelia was like a breath of fresh air in Jaane Tu. And Prachi Desai was fabulous in Rock On!! Is it because they were not cast opposite the likes of Shahrukh Khan / Aamir Khan?

Filmfare Awards Best Film

Dostana
Jodhaa Akbar
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
Ghajini
Rock On!!
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Notes – A Wednesday deserved a nomination for best film. Quality wise much better than the likes of Rab Ne, Dostana, Ghajini and Jaane Tu.

Filmfare Awards Best Director

Ashutosh Gowariker (Jodhaa Akbar)
A.R Murugadoss (Ghajini)
Aditya Chopra (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi)
Abhishek Kapoor (Rock On!!)
Madhur Bhandarkar (Fashion)
Neeraj Pandey (A Wednesday)

Filmfare Awards Best Actor in Supporting Role (Male)

Abhishek Bachchan (Sarkar Raj)
Arjun Rampal (Rock On!!)
Prateik Barber (Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na)
Sonu Sood (Jodhaa Akbar)
Tusshar Kapoor (Golmaal Returns)
Vinay Pathak (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi)

We say – As the nominations for Best Actor in a Comic role are not out, it remains to be seen if Tusshar will be nominated in both categories. We feel he should have been nominated in the Comic Role category. And Vinay Pathak for Rab Ne is a surprise inclusion, he was strictly average!

Filmfare Awards Best Actor in Supporting Role (Female)

Bipasha Basu (Bachna Ae Haseeno)
Kangana Ranaut (Fashion)
Kirron Kher (Dostana)
Ratna Pathak Shah (Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na)
Shahana Goswami (Rock On!!)

Filmfare Awards Best Music

A.R. Rehman (Ghajini)
A.R. Rehman (Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na)
A.R. Rehman (Jodhaa Akbar)
Pritam Chakraborty (Race)
Shankar – Ehsaan – Loy (Rock On!!)
Vishal – Shekar (Dostana)

We Say – While A.R. Rehman has a great chance of winning an Oscar at the Academy Awards this year, he has tough competition at the Filmfare Awards. Music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Pritam and Vishal Shekar was hugely popular last year.

We say – Guzarish, Pehli Nazar Mein missed out. And so did many others who deserved a nomination ahead of Farhan Akhtar!! Did Farhan deserve a nomination for Best Playback Singer??
