The Akhtar siblings Farhan and Zoya stole the show at the 57th Idea Filmfare Awards. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Zoya's second outing as director, won seven awards including Best Film (Popular and Critics' Choice), Best Director, Best Dialogue, Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actor (Farhan) and Best Choreography.
Imtiaz Ali's musical drama Rockstar won leading man Ranbir Kapoor two trophies (Popular and Critics' Choice), while AR Rahman's score for the film won him his 20th trophy. It was befitting then that Filmfare chose to give the Oscar winner the historic 2,500th statuette encrusted with a diamond. Clutching two ladies dressed in black - one being wife Saira and the other being the coveted 'Black Lady' Filmfare trophy - the maestro beamed and said, "I'm thrilled!"
Playback singer Mohit Chauhan, nominated for Sadda Haq and Jo Bhi Main from Rockstar, picked up the trophy for the latter. Lyricist Irshad Kamil too had two songs up for nomination - Sadda Haq and Nadaan Parindey - with Sadda Haq getting left out again in the Best Lyrics category.
Vidya Balan picked up the Best Actress trophy for her perfect impersonation of Silk Smitha in The Dirty Picture. The film also picked up an award for Best Costume. However, the Critics' Award for Best Actress went to Priyanka Chopra for her act as a serial killer in 7 Khoon Maaf. Child actor Partho Gupte, who played an endearing Stanley in father Amole Gupte's Stanley Ka Dabba, also picked up a Special Jury Certificate for Outstanding Talent.
Delhi Belly, which had 11 nominations, won director Abhinay Deo his first trophy and took home four awards in all. Shah Rukh Khan also stood vindicated. RA.One may not have got him acting honours, but the film's special effects won the Best SFX trophy.
But the night really belonged to the Akhtar siblings, who went home with two trophies each, leaving parents Javed and Honey Irani teary-eyed.
