what happened yesterday was the biggest insult to the film industry.
it was not a function organised to give away Nandi awards to the artists and technicians. it was a function where the chief minister wanted to give away the awards to nag and mahesh and pose for a photograph. that’s all nothing more nothing less.
nagarjuna in his speech said “i have taken three or four awards, but never seen such a big gathering. it is great.”
well nag you took the award and went away. you dint even have the decency to stay and watch your friends and colleagues taking the awards. Mr. Raghavendra rao, whom you were praising so much saying he is responsible for your annamayya and Ramadasu. was sitting there with a shock and disbelief, at what was happening on the stage. you left as soon as you took your award ..what happened to your respect.. Mr.Nag, maatalu kaadu chethalu important.
a couple of months back i saw the National awards function. the president gave away 135 awards in a two and half hour function. how many people were there on the stage apart from the dignitaries on the stage. two.. only two.how many speeches and what did they speak.
the president, the information minister, two jury chairmen,spoke to the point and about the films and awards. now that is called a award ceremony. giving the winners the highest honor. honor of taking the award from the president.
yesterday there were more organisers on the stage than the award winners. there were so many jokers standing around the anchor discussing.
the program started at 5.30 and ended at9.30. four hours.how many awards were there to give, say 200 may be…
and still the chief minister gave only 5 nandi awards.that is it.what about the rest of the award winners.. are they untouchables.. don’t they deserve to take it from your hands.you wanted to take a picture with mahesh and nag, you did that and went off.. that is what is called hypocrisy..
is there a single soul from the industry, who can condemn this. i think the organizers owe a public apology.
if this is the way the awards are given, then please don’t. do a simple thing send them home to the winners.
