2006 IIFA Awards - Dubai
If nothing else, the event that took place on June 16th this year was an incredible change from the dishevelled confusion of most filmi award shows that take place in Bombay.
For the UAE event, everyone actually looked like they showered and combed their hair before leaving the house, the sets were shiny and more substantial, plus the camera work was tighter and more focused. (And a special thanks to Upen Patel for losing the sunglasses……. and the jacket.)
By comparison, the most recent Filmfare awards show was typical for what you’d expect….. rows upon rows of bored actors and family sitting on white plastic garden chairs, looking sullen and chewing gum, as the camera panned all over the place trying to determine if the winner of any given award was actually making his or her way toward the stage.

Did you see the awards on TV, Filmfare or IIFA? I remember, how earlier, the broadcasting of the Filmfare awards used to be a huge deal. It was about the only time one got to saw movie stars as normal people. But now there are so many awards, it’s hard to keep track.
July 22nd, 2006 at 4:25 am
Hi MW,
Both seen on tape from the local DVD place, though it was broadcast on Star, so I’m guessing my guys here taped and duplicated it from one of the several Star channels locally.
Not that I’ve even been a fan of the production of the Academy awards, but I gotta admit that this IIFA show is a happy medium between the sloppy Bombay productions and the shlocky but plastically slick Oscars here.
July 22nd, 2006 at 5:19 pm
By a coincidence, the IIFA are being (re?)broadcast on Star Gold, even as I write this. Must say they’re much better than anything put together by the Filmfare people. I’ll stop now and get back to watching Saif dance his way through a medley of hits.
July 22nd, 2006 at 5:26 pm
Did you catch that weird acceptance speech of Himesh Reshamiya?
It started out kinda sweet, bringing his Dad up on stage, but then he started a bilious long jag of singing and going on about Amitabh Bachchan, who looked rather uncomfortable when the cameras cut to him.
July 22nd, 2006 at 10:27 pm
Do you like Himesh? I think I´m rocksteady in the “I don´t get what people like about his songs and his voice” camp. So his speech just cemented my stand on him.
July 23rd, 2006 at 12:54 am
Hey Babasko!
Actually, I gotta admit I do like both, just ’cause they’re different (though the speech really makes me thing he’s pretty flaky).
The one I really don’t get and don’t like is the guy who’s face often goes with his singing: Emran Hashmi. Much ado about nothing, imho.
What do you think of him?
July 23rd, 2006 at 7:45 am
Award shows! How I love them-if I can stay up for them. Somewhere between Awards for technical exellence and the nth medley of songs and dancing I invariably zzzzz. Also, why is it that they always cut to AB or Jaya if Rekha’s on stage? Or Rekha when one of the other two are on stage? C’mon people find other threesomes to cover!
July 23rd, 2006 at 3:11 pm
Shoefi, I completely agree with you! The last Filmfare awards show was 25% that only. You almost got whiplash from all the fast cuts to Rekha every other minute. Which is all rather funny, given that I’ve heard rumors that the whole love-triangle bit iver the years was actually a scheme to throw the press off something else…
And what about Javed Jaffrey? After his gruesome performance at the Filmfare Awards, I heaved a sigh of relief that IIFA was without him, until, uh ohhhhhhhhh, there he was again. Is this the only thing this dude does nowadays? Someone needs to make Boom II and get him off the stage.
July 24th, 2006 at 12:37 pm
I cant have his voice. the whining makes me wanna slap him (not hard, just a bit *g*) there are some soundtracks he did that i like but his songs never stick with me which is a sign of indifference and getting an indifference tag from me is usually not a good sign
July 26th, 2006 at 10:00 am
I liked the first couple of Himesh’s songs because of the different sound - but now, it’s just overkill. Have you heard the songs from Rocky? He seems to do almost all of his own singing and well, after a point, I can’t seem to distinguish between one song and the next.
July 28th, 2006 at 10:28 am
The latest rumor/news is that he’s all set to act in a film as the lead.

Hi. I am a great fan of Hrithik. And I liked the couple dance performed by Hrithik and that girl ‘na tum jano na hum’ ya I liked it the most from the whole award function. I want to know the name of the girl dancing with Hrithik Roshan. Can any one tell? thanx.
