67th Filmfare Awards 2022 Nominations Out Now - Page 6

He won the worst actor at the Filmfail Awards for "A Gentlemen." If neither got a box office release then how do we know which film got more traction. I know I heard of Udham Singh through friends and how good of a movie it was. I watched Shershah when the news about Sid and Kiara breakup came out. Then I learned they supposedly fell in love through Shershah.

What is Filmfail? Is it like the Razzie awards? Razzies were founded by film students and Hollywood veterans. I’m not sure Filmfail is as “credible” 😆

A Gentleman was actually a good movie. I don’t care that it flopped. Hits and flops aren’t always an indication of good film or good acting. Judwaa2 became a hit. What else is there to say? Sid’s acting was pretty decent too. Definitely not razzie or Filmfail worthy.

Traction is gauged based on overall public reaction to a movie. Shershah definitely got more hype, more public appreciation, and more views. And the reason was it was a more mainstream movie than Sardar Udham. So I’m not knocking SU. By all accounts it’s a masterpiece. But in terms of popularity Shershah was more popular and that makes a huge difference with Filmfare.

Anyway, we are running in circles. You are convinced that Sid winning a Filmfare is a Bollywood blasphemy and I disagree 🤷🏽‍♀️

Like I said I would personally be very appalled. It would be a shock I will not be able to get over for decades. But it seems like I am offending a lot of Sid fans.

You are not offending me. But this is such a dramatic reaction here that I’m actually wondering if this is all sarcasm that’s going over my head.

I am seeing two star reviews by rotten tomatoes, ndtv extc extc. And even worse comments on Sidharth's performances.

And I do not know how you are measuring hype, public appreciation and more views. Like the article I previously posted shows Sardar Udham is still rated more highly on IMDB. That is ratings mostly done by the public. It is competing with Hollywood films for the highest-rated movies there.

Again I know movie buffs that have seen Sardar Udham but have yet to see Shershah. So I don't know to which extent the traction part is true. Even if it is true to some extent. Siddarth's performance was overrated. And yes if such an overrated performance wins over Vicky Kaushal's amazing one I would be appalled.

And I am not just making this is up because I want Vicky to win. You saw my initial reaction after watching Shershah. I was not impressed at all by Sidharth. I still feel he is overrated. His performance in Shershah was not award-worthy.

Hype? I think being close to being an Oscar nomination says a lot about hype. Other than that Sidharth has Dharma to create hype. Yes, Sidharth is an overrated actor. I think him winning a Filmfare over a performance which Vicky gave which many felt was Oscar-worthy (with filmmaking degrees) is blasphemy.

I do see one performance as genuinely mediocre compared to something that was extraordinary. That is def not sarcasm.

I think it is totally fair if Sid wins the best actor in popular category and Vicky wins Best Actor Critics. I would also be happy with Ranveer winning best actor popular for 83, because he was pretty good. Better than Sid in Shershah imo, who was good, but only by his low standards.

Shershah was a far more popular movie than Sardar Udham, as the latter was more of an arthouse movie based on what I have read. Popular category has always been about equal parts popularity and performance, which is why it often ticks people off with the winner choices

Yeah, so he will get the critics award for it since that is purely performance based

Really so what is the best actor based off of? Is it an actor with a terrible career finally managing to give a decent performance? And how do you know he is going to get the critic's award already?

Funnier than tehrvi 😆

My only opinion is for best actress- I think Pari should win it for SAPF. She was brilliant in it.

Art house movies hardly make any money. Sardar Udham was not that low on popularity either. Like I said it is competing with Hollywood films in terms of ratings on IMDB. Those ratings are done by the public. And one or two people hitting five stars would not cut it. It is not that far behind Shershah in terms of popularity.

Even if you go on to Amazon prime. One has almost 600 reviews. The other is over 800. Again Kiara and Dharma productions would automatically set up a film to be promoted more and get more buzz. But I don't think Sardar Udham can be called an art house film in comparison.
