The jinx is finally broken?

After my rant exactly a year ago, the "jinx" finally seems to be broken! For the first time since 2002, someone other than well-past-his-prime-as-a-leading-actor Amitabh Bacchan, performs-well-but-gets-awarded-for-the-weirdest-roles Hrithik Roshan and I-yam-the-self-proclaimed-khinggg SRK has won the Best Actor at Filmfare. Lets give a round of applause to the David who managed to defeat these Goliaths - Ranbeer Kapoor. Janardhan Jakkhad has managed to do what people like DJ, Radhey Mohan, Munnabhai, and Chulbul Pandey couldnt! Hopefully, this isnt a one-off year when the choices are sane and this will usher in a new era of unbiased and non-SRK-in-hammy-self-anointed-king-role-winning-for-bullshit awards!

The Filmfare winners this year are given below. My choices can be seen here.

next year the awards for Best Actor and Best Villain should go to Hrithik and Sanju Baba and if it's not asking for too much, a critics award for Rishi Kapoor, for surprising everyone with his turn as Rauf Lala!

sorry for the random comment, i'm still tripping on Agneepath :P

Filmfare stopped giving a Best Villain award from 2007. So Kancha and Lala will battle it out for Best Supporting next year!
