Vijay awards 2015 - Highlights

August 17, 2015.

I got a chance to watch the Vijay Awards 2015 Live, and thought of sharing the highlights with my readers. As always it was a tremendous events with all the celebrities walking on red carpet. Needless to say, this is the show that has occured only 8 times before in the history of mankind. (Now you should have guessed the intend of this blog). Somehow they came to know that I had come from US for watching, and they made me also to walk in the red carpet. I was elated to attend such a grand show!

Now the high lights:

The show was hosted by D.D & MaaKaaPaa (yes its his name). D.D was asusual energetic, the only thing I did not get was why she was given a mike. Gopinath did not host it this time, as he realized he has got better things to do in life. But D.D doesn't feel so, she was so energetic that she could host this kind, for another 10 yrs!. No comments about MaaKaaPaa, he is an emerging star.

As usual, SRK came for the event, I did not take a chance to see him. Still he has not learnt tamil (as we still don't/won't learn Hindi).

Favorite Hero: It was given to Soorya, for the movie Anjaan. (Remeber the same award given to Vijay in 2014 for the movie Thalaivaa).
Favorite Director: Kamal again, for the movie Viswaroopam 2.
Favorite Heroine: Lakshmi Menon
Favorite Film: Kaththi.
Favorite Actor of the year: Vijay (deal for this year)

(Note all the favorites are selected by Tamilnadu Makkal. But the bus carrying their votes met with a fire accident near vilupuram, couple of days before the event!).

As expected ,Velai Illa pattathari grabbed most number of awards, followed by Kaththi & Anjaan, and then Jigarthanda. Unanimously, Anirudh was given the best music director of the year.

I was waiting for the Chevalier Shivaji Award to be announced. I could sense that there was another Bollywood hero waiting in the line. Then MaaKaaPaa announced the favorite hero of India, the one and only Salman Khan. He gave two reasons why this award is given to him. First is, his significant contribution to the Tamil cinema, by totally staying away from it. The second is, after Gandhiji, he is the one who has appeared most number of times without shirts, in public. (thereby becoming a national inspiration!). And he deserves it, like SRK.

But I was disappointed with the Chevalier Shivaji Award, this year too. Mamooty (3 times national award), Mohanlal (2 times national award), Nagarjuna (wondering why no telugu actor was given a national award yet) were not given this, and quite a bunch of others.

But I was happy that, this time they introduced few more awards, like every year.

"Long time no see" award: This was given to Koundamani. To keep its name, he had not come to receive it.
"I am waiting" award: This was given to Arun Vijay. (He got it man!)
"More likes" award: Given to Anushka.
"More shares" award: Given for the movie Kaththi (only FB users know why they shared it)
"More comments" award: Given to Lakshmi Menon (And FB users play games with the comments section)
"Most retweeted" award: Given to movie "Maan Karate"
"Vada pochchey" award: Given to Prabhudeva.
"Athu pona maasam" award: Given to Nayanthara.
"Aaniye pudunga venam" award: Given to actor Vimal.
"Valikkuthu, naan aluthiduven" award: Given to the TN Makkal.

Disclaimer: Its a silver screen fiction, not to be disputed.

Awesome to make it that all celebrity. the event provider wants aluminium scaffolding for all final touch work.
