The Zee Cine Awards 2016 was held last night in Mumbai. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani was the big winner of the evening, bagging 10 awards, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor.
Unfortunately, the trend of awarding as many actors as possible continued as Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and Ranveer Singh were all presented with the Best Actor trophy. Salman won in the ‘Popular’ category of the Viewer’s Choice awards. The ‘Popular’ and ‘Critics’ categories have always existed, but we wonder how the ‘Best’ Actor trophy can be shared between two actors. How does it become ‘Best’ / Top Most when two actors share one trophy. Which performance was better of the two and hence the best?
Thanks to Kangana Ranaut, who doesn’t care nor attend awards, the choice for Best Actress was pretty straight forward. Deepika Padukone was declared the Best Actress Jury and Popular, for her performance in Piku and Bajirao Mastani.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan was the declared the most popular film of 2016, while Bajirao Mastani won in the jury category.

@bajanindian,open the net and learn that islam is the fastest growing religion also.dont try to be smart here.its filmy website .how dare u comment on the qur’an even before knowing its name.
@indicine- why are u revealing all the winners. You did the same with the Filmfare awards. Don’t you think this will affect the viewership ratings of the show?
Would love to get a reply from you regarding this.
@kingo, awards are watched for entertainment and performances. No one takes the winners seriously and everyone gets an award.
Great Slap for Salman Haters….
Congratz Salman…. U deserve dis…
all awards are same.fake,bias and unworthy.Wrf why kangana not got any award.her performance was outstanding in twm2. seems like awards only for overrated people.monali and palak was deserving in female playback,but I was expecting they will give that to who is more popular and overrated.
