Jiyo Dominique jiyo!!
All deserving guys..truly
I can’t believe Oye Lucky came second in all the musical nominations.
Best lyrics & best composer is not OYE LUCKy?
Jai Ho Democracy!
Great Start!
Kudos to the Team and Ofc Janta..
Good job Goonda!
Mainak – I didn’t get half of the lyrics in OLLO songs. Too much punjabi. Think that might have affected its chances.
good job..
I understand it does not matter if I agree or not…. but I hated Rock On and so many people voting for Rock On which I thought is a sugar coated chick flick….. It amazes me so called passionate viewers of cinema can over look Amit Trivedi, Neetu Chandra, Ila Arun….I am dissapointed…..
HG..Good Job!!..Its a very good start. Hope we can get exclusive interviews with the winners :-)
BTW…How many of you predicted these results?
Only issue i have is Rock On getting Best Lyrics awards, i mean OLLO had far better lyrics.
But this is a good start, and hoping PFC-Tehelka can go from strength to strength here. Would these results be published on other sites also?
For a moment i thgt we went the Filmfare way ehehe
Best Music – Jodha Akbar and not Rock On…..period.
Best Lyrics – Aamir and not Rock On….period again.
yay! very happy for OLLO!!!
Hey guys, In my personal opinion, Rock On doesn’t deserve any nomination except for Musical awards. I agree with Gaurav completely.
.
And guys, where is RACE? It deserves atleast a nomination for Editing, Screenplay & Cinematography (+ more: Action/Thrills, Best Negative Role).
Best Director & Film = Oye Lucky???? This gotta be APRIL FOOL.
Fine with almost everything. Very happy that Oye Lucky won Best Director and Best Film. Thoroghly deserved.
.
Only grouse being Best Editing for ‘A Wednesday’! I thought the editing in the movie was plain shoddy…!
Waah… Waah…
Kya recognition hai!
Finally I am happy and agree with all the awards given.Great job,guys!!!I really felt bad the way Dominuque was overlooked in all award functions.Now after one year when I listen to Rock On album I start with “Yeh tumhari meri baatein”.I just love that song.
I mean I can’t think of a single scene in the movie (A Wednesday) where the editing was impressive…there was this one scene where Jimmy Shergill is climbing the stairs of the building which is intercut with Naseer at the terrace…but I am sure everyone in the audience was sure they were not on the same building…too cliched…
.
Compare that to OLLO- Couple of scenes were outstanding
-Abhay takes Neetu for a fast ride and the way we see it is in slow motion shots of Neetu in the car…
-And right at the end just before Abhay gets caught there’s this scene of Abhay and Neetu discussing their wedding shopping…totally unrelated to the story flow but just makes the final scene a little more heartbreaking…
.
Wasn’t this a great editing choice or should the credit go elsewhere…?
Dunno what’s the problem with ppl here…..Rock On wasn’t the best movie on the scene but it was sure a good movie with a different kind of storyline and execution ,why can’t a good movie be entertaining and sweet.
Ppl got diabetes here huh ?
Well as always there will be debate on certain award winners & its no surprise that its happening here.But all said & done it’s been well managed and kudos to HG & everyone else on PFC.I am sure we are going to make this even bigger & better next time.
Hey Veekay, HG, Keyrun and others….great work…Congrats to the winners!
And to the guys who are contemplating on the winners, you should understand that they are so because of a mouse click and not by a jury….its a automatic updation of our votes to select winners…
Was Aamir Khan’s performance in Ghajini was not even nomination worthy?
i think Mumbai meri Jaan is one of the most underrated film ever-It should get Best screenplay and Direction and Best film of the year-just a POV
great job guys!
WOW…..OLLO WON
Hi,
OLLO was definitely not the best film of the year! It was amongst the best.MITHYA, A WEDNESDAY & EVEN ROCK ON were better films. Bu t then awards by their vey nature are unfair.
Regards,
Santino
sorry should read awards by ther very nature are unfair.
No probs with the awards… but grouse bout Noms… Rock On! was film of the year… if sugar-coats arnt allowed (as someone mentioned.. Diabetics), then atleast Mumbai Meri jaan!!
Bullshit!!!
OLLo as best movie and best direction. I guess PFC is meant to favour those movies only which not may praise. I fully agree that OLLO was a class movie and I thoroughly enjoyed many scenes. They were exceptionally written and executed. But overall this movie didn’t leave the impact. It was more of a kind of a movie which as long as you watch, it stays with you. But later on when you think about the movie you could only remember a few scenes here and there.
Compare it with Mumbai Meri Jaan. This was truly a movie that deserved all the awards or at least the awards like screenplay, direction and best movie.
I do agree with Njudo on this point.
Read……..’which not “many” praise’…..
2008 will be remembered for 2 things OLLO & Mumbai attacks. Both happened on the same day.
Long Live OLLO!
Aasman hai geela kyon kyon,
Paani neela neela kyon,
Gol kyon ha zameen?
Best lyrics? Dude?! Next time, maybe you shouldn’t let people under 3 years vote.
I didn’t even know about PFC when the vote happened (so I suck) but I thought OLLO was the best music album of 08. Most innovative, “real”, relevant music + lyrics.
OLLO achieves true recognition and so does PFC – Tehelka!!
Congrats HG!!
Congrats to all the winners,especially Dibakar for his stellar Oye Lucky.
I don’t agrre with this…OLLO?…Best movie…and Dibankar banerji Best director?…u must be kidding!!…
Another feather in Rahman’s Cap
Rahman gets 28 crore for replacing David Beckham!.
http://in.movies.yahoo.com/news-detail/49049/Rahman-gets-28-crore-replacing-David-Beckham.html
(Provided news is true)
I’m quite satisfied with the awards. Naseeruddin Shah winning the Best Actor reminded me of the times when movies like “Bhoomika” and “Mandi” used to win awards…..
Though Sneha Khanwalkar should’ve won the Best Music Director. OLLO music was far far superior to Rock On!
thankfully Paresh Rawal got voted the best suppoting Act…his was the best role of 2008….better than Naseer’s was in Wednesday…
There is never going to be an awards system that everyone is going to agree with. Get over it guys. What needs to be lauded is the effort and standards put in place to come up with an honest and sincere awards.
I do not agree with all the awards myself, I wish a film like Hulla would bag atleast a best screenplay nomination or Mumbai Meri Jaan would win best film…but thats cinema..Different opinions.Atleast the criteria for these awards is not star power, production banner etc.
Agreed and Happy for all the winners.. good way to negate the filmfare kinda already-sold-off awards… but little disappointed with Priyanka bagging the best actress that too for Fashion !! Even Kangana for a change was apt in her character and played it more justifiably than Priyanka.. but kya kare.. 36% junta ne priyanka ko kaha HAAN to HAAN … yehi hai democracy !!
There never will be a consensus but I can’t help but be baffled by Javed Akhtar walking away with the ‘best lyrics’ award.
Meri laundry ka bill, ek adhi padhi novel…utter nonsense!
I thought Aamir had much better lyrics.
I was sure there would be some debate about every category. So this was expected.
What really comes to me as a surprise is 646 votes only!!!! I guess I overestimated the PASSION for cinema.
HG mate… what happened? any guesses why there were only 645 idiots besides me…
Or maybe 646 is a good enough number anyway… And maybe my estimates of hits on blogs is grossly incorrect…..
Was there a voting for nominations too ?
I think more public awareness is required to increase the voting- may be Facebook and other sites would be useful.
Cheers!
~uh~
hey,,sad that no awards for sound design…no1 cares even after resul winning the oscars…sad state of affairs…introspect ur self guys or atleast rectify and revote for sound design category…
The only winner that I truly back and believe HONESTLY deserved was Paresh Rawal for MMJ. He’s performance was so underrated. He is so versatile from MMJ to OLLO. Amazing actor, CLASS.
Too many thoughts ….. will spare all except one— was Paresh Rawal not worth a “supporting actor” nomination for his triple role in OLLO ??
My vote is for Hrithik for Jodha Akbar as the best performance of the year male.. his performance was highly matured and sophisticate. and naseer is highly upsetting and irritating at times to watch nowadays with him mixing a little bit of bollywood-ism, hollywood-ism and some of his theater-isms and cooks up a performance.
@ 45 , who_cares “hey,,sad that no awards for sound design…no1 cares even after resul winning the oscars…sad state of affairs…introspect ur self guys or atleast rectify and revote for sound design category…”
This is what i read on RamGopalVarma’s blog once, so i want to share this, i learnt a lot by this.
For detailed, visit his blog.

The irony for me is that after all the euphoria Indians had on Resul Pookutty winning an Oscar it does not even occur to them to ask what else he had done before this. They would have seen nearly 50 odd films of his previous work over the years ranging from good, bad and ugly but the point is that his sound designing in them went unnoticed. Now that the media screams that he has got an Oscar everybody is talking about sound design.
Does any of the guys who are jumping with joy about Oscar triumphs know or care who got the sound design award at the Oscars last year or all the years before that or for that matter in our own desi awards? Then what’s all this sound about? It’s nothing to do with Resul’s contribution and my proof of that is I have not heard or met a single person who saw Slumdog and mentioned sound in particular until the time the Golden Globe gave him an award and from then on everybody sounds off on sound design without even having a faintest idea of what it is.
There is a live effects track, a dialogue track, an atmospheric track and the background score track of which only a part is due to sound designer. All of these are made to come together by the final mixing engineer to create the desired effect sometimes in consultation with the Director and sometimes without. Any person who hears the final output of the mixed track has no way of knowing whose contribution to what degree is creating the desired effect. The only person who knows that will be the final mixing engineer who will be deciding what to keep, what to throw out and at what levels they have to be played.
The attempt of mine here is not to undermine Resul’s work but it is to make one understand that Resul can do better work which easily can go unnoticed and lesser work can create an impact due to reasons unrelated to work.
