Movies in India are driven by three things: entertainment,entertainment and entertainment, actress Vidya Balan a.k.a Silk says in The Dirty Picture,sealing it with a wink. On Saturday,the 18th Annual Colors Screen Awards will honour Bollywoods sweeping influence in India with all that symbolises entertainment. The star-studded ceremony,at Mumbais MMRDA Grounds,will showcase masala,dance,drama,action and emotion. The continuing Bollywood trend of gripping,small-budget films finding space with action thrillers and multi-starrers will be on showcase. So Aamir Khan Productions Delhi Belly,a dark comedy,leads the race with 19 nominations. Shaitan,a small-budget thriller,is a close second with 14 nominations followed by the Zoya Akhtar-directed Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara with 12. The Screen Awards nominations are incredible. It is obvious that they have gone beyond box-office success and looked at the content, said filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. Katrina Kaifs will be the opening performance,with a high-octane version of Sheila Ki Jawani. The evening promises a scintillating array of star hosts: starting with Shahid Kapoor,followed by Anoushka Sharma,Sajid Khan,Vidya Balan,Priyanka Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan. In a segment presented by SRK,the work and times of Dev Anand and Shammi Kapoor will be celebrated. Helen will make one of her rare appearances to present a special award. While Chopra will dance to a medley of chart-busters,Balan expected to do a hat-trick by lifting the Best Actress award for the third time will bring alive The Dirty Picture.
