Bollywood Awards are Fixed:Ajay Devgan

This was clear in hush-hush tones, but the straight talking Ajay Devgn minces no words in saying that awards are fixed. Here is an excerpt of an interview with Ajay Devgan who says awards in Bollywood are fixed and organized.


What do you think about the awards?
I don't attend awards shows. The fact is that the organiser calls you, saying that please come for the show, we will give you an award.If you refuse, they will give the award to someone else.They have to market and sell their award function. That's why it's a problem for them (if you don't attend). So they give awards to whoever attends the awards show.
The minute stars say they are coming, the organisers give awards to everyone in different categories like Critic's award, Viewer's choice, Performer of the Year and what not.

What about the National awards?

Those are good but even they have been tarnished once or twice. The only satisfaction is that you are getting the award from the President of India -- at least the country's highest civilian is giving it to you

Do you think we can make it to the Oscars?
Yes. But the problem is that there's a lot of politics in our country. There are so many small and big films that are good. Small films don't do well because we start manipulating the process and they have to lobby for their film. My question is: Why are you betraying your country? Why don't you send films that are worthy?

Here's an example. A few years back, Devdas and The Legend of Bhagat Singh were in queue for Oscars. If we need a chance at the Oscars, we must send the best film. In that case, which film would you send -- that of a drunkard or a freedom fighter? Who has the better chance? And which film did you send?

There may be many small films made by small directors and newcomers. But nobody sends them. So who are we cheating? Our country.

So what do you think guys? do you think awards given in Bollywood are fixed and organized?
