Indore Barometer - A shift In Yearly Awards system



The award system in Indian film industry has become a joke with new categories announced every year as if the already existing system was not bad enough. Favouring big production houses and actors who paid the jury was a norm all these years anyway. A possible solution to this is to narrow down the number of categories itself. There should be only one "Best Actor (male/female)" category. All the other ones like "Supporting/ Comic/Villian" should be scrapped. On one hand you give these supporting actor awards and at the same instant make them realise that their roles/impact was inferior. It serves no purpose. Similarly , there should be only one category for "Best film". No point in having "best director/best story/best screenplay" just to please others in the list. In the technical category, there needs to be equal cutting down in categories. Two basic ingredients in Indian films are Action and Music. Rest need to be scrapped. So no Editing/sound design/background music and other such circus. So here is a narrowed down to the point awards by indore barometer for 2016:

Best Actor : Akshay Kumar (Airlift)

Best actress : Tapsee Pannu (Pink)

Best film : Pink

Best Action : Baaghi

Best Music : Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
