The Jhoota Kahin Ka award

The Lone Ranger award: Mithun Chakraborty continued to churn out films like an assembly-line production. He kept his track record intact by starring in the maximum number of films this year as well. Loyal fan-directors like Rajiv Babbar and T L V Prasad kept the ageing star busy and churned out films by the dozen. But alas, they were unable to give him a hit. All that Mithunda has gained is longer locks and now he is looking worse than he ever did — and that is possible!

The where-am-I award: Jackie Shroff gets this award, that is if he can remember to collect it. He is losing his hair and his marbles. Along with his ever-receeding hairline, the star is also losing his sense of time and place. No wonder he looks perpetually lost on the sets. Ask him any question regarding his work and he’ll turn around and ask his secretary, "Which film am I shooting for?"

The mother-outlaw nightmare award: Goes to Sattie Shourie. She stepped in, reached up and gave Sridevi a tamacha to remember for the rest of her life. When Sattie heard that her daughter Mona’s husband had married again, she vent her ire on the "Hawa Hawai" girl. Sri baby got a tight slap across her face that nearly displaced her (fixed) nose.

The himbos can act award: Goes to Sunil Shetty. The muscle-bound star whose acting abilities seemed limited to "D-uh!" proved that he could act with Border. Ever since people noticed his histrionics — a fact Shetty seemed to have missed — he has decided to prove a point to himself. No more beefcake for Mr Shetty. Now all his photographs have Sunil wearing spectacles sporting an intellectual look. But once a himbo, always a himbo — he still cannot put away his half-sleeved T-shirts and flex his arms every time the camera shutter clicks.
