FILMFARE AWARDS: FARHAN GRABS GOLD AT FILMFARE OLYMPICS

It was the prestigious moment for the Indian cinema industry that justified the sacrifice of Milkha Singh of Bollywood (played by Farhan Akhtar in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag). Not only this, BMB also clinched the maximum number of trophies at the 59th Idea Filmfare Awards 2013, which include- the best film, best actor for Farhan, the best director (for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra), the best costume (by Dolly Ahluwalia), best production design (by Acropolis Design) and best lyrics (for Zinda, penned by Prasoon Joshi).  

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela brought Deepika Padukone the best actress trophy, while veteran Supriya Pathak was honoured for her supporting act in the movie.

The lifetime achievement award was given to veteran actress Tanuja for her outstanding contribution to Indian cinema.

Even if Lunchbox was not selected for Oscars, it was not disappointed at the award ceremony as the best actor in supporting role was bagged by Nawazuddin Siddiqui for the same, which also won the best debut director award for Ritesh Batra.

Southern star Dhanush won the best debut (male) award for Raanjhanaa and Vaani Kapoor walked away with the best debut (female) trophy for Shuddh Desi Romance.
