| Anil Kapoor and Tabu in a still from Virasat |
Here (India) any actor, who is a fan favourite, is automatically nominated for a
Filmfare award and might even win it irrespective of his acting.
Although Shah Rukh Khan is undoubtedly a fine performer and deservedly
won the best actor honour for Swades (2005) and Chak De India! (2008),
at times the Filmfare did seem to have got swayed by his star power than
acting. In 1998 SRK won the award for Dil To Pagal Hai, the commercial
blockbuster. Of the four other nominees there were two whose
performances were without an iota of doubt far better than SRK’s – Anil
Kapoor in Virasat and Kamal Hassan in Chachi 420. Anil Kapoor was given
the Filmfare Critics Award for best actor which is not considered a
merit honour; more like a consolation prize.
Until 1990 actors like Anupam Kher and Naseeruddin Shah could be seen
winning the best actor award even though their films were more art than
commercial in nature. But from 1990 to the middle of the last decade,
the criteria of the awards changed from that of pure merit to that of
pure star power.
