The winners of much-awaited IIFA awards, which were held between June 3-5 at Sri Lankan capital Colombo have been announced.
Whereas much on expected lines, Amitabh Bachchan won the best lead male actor’s award for his role in Paa and Rajkumar Hirani took away the best director’s award for his work in 3 Idiots, there were a few surprises when it came to some other awards.
But probably, Rajkumar Hirani was more lucky than Mr. Bachchan as he won two awards. Apart from being the best director, Hirani also won the trophy of best story for 3 Idiots, which he shared with Abhijat Joshi. His film 3 Idiots got the most number of awards when it won the technical awards for Best Screenplay and Best Cinematography. The film also helped Boman Irani win the award for best negative role and Sharman Joshi, who got the award for best supporting actor for 3 Idiots when he beat strong contender like Abishek Bachchan for his powerful performance in Paa.
Vidya Balan had a mixed fortune at IIFA this year and though she won the best female lead award for her work in Paa, she had to share this award with Kareena Kapoor, who was judged the joint winner of the lead female award for her work in 3 Idiots.
The award for best performance in a comic role went to Sanjay Dutt for his role in All the best. The award for both best female debutant and best male debutant were shared by two people. While the award in the female category was shared jointly by Jacqueline Fernandez for Alladin and Mahie Gill for Dev D , the award for best male debutant went to Omi Vaidya and Jackky Bhagnani for their work in 3 Idiots and Kal Kissne Dekha respectively.
The awards ceremony had couple of other surprises in store. Whereas A R Rehman had swept all other awards for his music in Delhi 6, the jury at IIFA thought that Pitam’s music in Loive Aaj Kal was better than all others.
