Filmfare Awards 2018 – Filmfare Nominations Unfair.

Filmfare Awards 2018 – Filmfare Unfair.

Screen Shot 2018-01-19 at 11.53.59 amThe most prestigious Awards in the Bollywood fraternity – Filmfare seems to have lost popularity in the recent year’s. The Nepotism Roast Kangana Ranaut raised with the AIB team; filmfare only makes it real.
For those who missed; take a look at the video below and enjoy the sarcasm at its best.

The most popular Awards Filmfare has Trapped in the Best Film category but the only actor who made Trapped work has no nomination for the best actor category; that is Rajkumar Rao.

Tiger Zinda Hai the film that took the Box Office by Storm – numbers the film has gained breaking all records only suggest how many people have watched the film over and over again, fails to make it to the best Film category though. Forget Salman Khan’s nomination for the Best Actor; many would deny the fact of he winning the same, but nomination yes- he does deserve the nomination if Hrithik and Shahrukh gets nominated for Kaabil and Raees that failed any critical acclaim or met the box office results.

Newton the film that was just average gets nominated for the Oscars but doesn’t make it to the Best Film category at Filmfare Awards neither RajKumar Rao is nominated as the best actor for the same film. Infact, he gets nominated for one of the best films Bareilly Ki Barfi as a supporting cast wherein he was as good as the second lead than the supporting cast in the film. Indeed, he was the Man of 2018 for Bollywood.

Badrinath ki Dulhania is nominated under the Best Film category shows the awards are driven by some Production houses and nepotism is here to stay. YRF’s Tiger Zinda Hai blockbuster of the industry doesn’t get place in the popular award category. They miss out on Pankaj Tripathi as the best actor in “Gurgaon” who delivered and the film was great too. They chop Pakistani actor roles but they nominate Saba Qamar for Best female lead for Hindi Medium though she was nice but a nomination is little too much when Swara Bhaskar is left out for a stellar performance in a great film “Anarkali of Aarah”. It is fine to have just 2-3 nominations that are deserving than just filling the numbers.

The film that is nominated for Best Screenplay is not nominated in the Best ORIGINAL story category “Secret Superstar” neither the film is nominated in the best dialogue category which indeed had lines that motivated many to pursue their dreams.

Newton is nominated in the Best ORIGINAL story when the world came to know the film was inspired if not copied from the Iranian film “secret ballot” that’s why probably Rajkumar Rao has no nomination for the best actor for Newton but the story has a nomination.
Waah Re Filmfare – very unfair.

Angel One’s ‘Cricket Park’ sparks strong participation, brings a generation back to the pitch

MUMBAI, India, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Angel One Limited, India’s intelligent investing companion and Official Associate Partner of the Tata IPL (2024–2028), recently hosted “Cricket Park”, an immersive cricket-led experience that brought alive a simple yet powerful idea – Chalo, Cricket Khelte Hai. Held at TSG Sports Arena in Mumbai, the event witnessed strong participation and high on-ground energy, bringing together around 300 attendees, including India’s top digital creators and cricket enthusiasts, to rediscover the joy of playing the game.

At a time when cricket is widely consumed but rarely played, Cricket Park tapped into a deep cultural insight, that while the love for the game remains strong, the reasons to step out and play have steadily declined. By creating the right environment and format, Angel One turned passive fandom into active participation.Designed as more than just a tournament, Cricket Park reimagined the childhood cricket experience into a dynamic, interactive format. The experience was paired with 14 interactive cricket installations and 5 live pitches, including Khidki Tod, Zero Kaata Bhaago, Ziddi Target, Bat Pakad and Ringa Ringa Catches, each crafted to bring back the spontaneity and thrill of the game. The event followed a unique flow, with creators arriving early to engage with and take over the installations, setting the tone for the experience, while fans stepped in at sundown, with matches continuing till late.The event also saw participation from impactful personalities, adding to the overall energy and appeal of the experience. Notable digital creators including Jake Jeakings, Vyom (vyom25), CA Deepak Bhati (cadeepakbhati), Shrishti Gosavi (nerd_in_you), and Anmol Sharma (financebyanmoll) were part of the experience, further amplifying the event both on-ground and across digital platforms. With moments crafted for shareability, Cricket Park extended well beyond the venue, resonating strongly with a wider audience online.Assisted by Badass Media and designed by Doodle Mapuls, Cricket Park was designed as a high-energy, community-led experience that blends culture, community, and digital storytelling.Cricket Park is rooted in Angel One’s larger philosophy of enabling action. Much like how the platform simplifies investing for a new generation, the initiative aimed to remove friction from participation, meeting people where their interest already exists and giving them a compelling reason to act. In doing so, the brand’s invitation, “Chalo, Cricket Khelte Hai,” became more than a line, it turned into a lived experience on-ground.Zameer Kochar, Chief Marketing Officer, Angel One, said, “Cricket Park is built on a very simple insight, people don’t lack interest, they lack the right trigger to act. Whether it’s investing or something as personal as cricket, the gap often lies between intent and action. With this initiative, we wanted to create an experience that feels intuitive, inclusive, and engaging enough for people to step in and participate. The response we’ve seen has been extremely encouraging.”With Cricket Park, Angel One has taken a step towards building a scalable, community-led property that blends culture, participation, and digital amplification and redefining how brands can create meaningful engagement beyond the screen.About Angel One Limited:Angel One Limited, (NSE: ANGELONE) (BSE: 543235) is the largest listed retail stock broking house in India, in terms of active clients on NSE.
