Amitabh Bachchan Best Actor for Paa, 3 Idiots Best Film

shan
From the time Shahid Kapoor was unceremoniously unbundled from a white Maruti Omni that boldly rolled onto the stage at the Nokia 16th Annual Star Screen Awards at Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla MMRDA complex on Saturday evening and he began lisping like Guddu from Kaminey, the celebrations had begun.

Of, as Shahid hinted, the year of the end, at last, of the Perfect Hero. Of a year in which it became cool to say “Main fa ko fa bolta hoon”. 2009 was a brave year.

Though the formula kicked back sometimes, and repackaged itself in shiny and seductive ways, the year ended with the story of the imposter who gave the nation its anthem to carry into the new year: “All is well...” It was the story of the imposter, the wrong guy with his heart in the right place. Accepting one of the several awards for 3 Idiots, Rajkumar Hirani, who had earlier made the Munnabhai series, which gave us the lovable tapori who could teach the System a thing or two, dedicated it to “those teachers who teach from the heart rather than from the book”. It was the movie in which we all saw, in which we all wanted to see, a bit of ourselves.
