The 65th Filmfare Awards took place in Guwahati, Assam. It was a star-studded night, even though major stars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma et al skipped the event. Not to worry though, as Guwahati was graced by the likes of Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Taapsee Pannu, Ananya Panday, Bhumi Pednekar, Ayushmann Khurrana etc. The telecast of Amazon Filmfare Awards 2020 will happen soon.

Not an Alia Bhatt Fans It Seems!
Alia Bhatt in gully boy:
A 20 minute role which looked more like an extended cameo, the character adds nothing to the main storyline, displays very little acting skill.#Filmfare (while shamelessly giving her an award over other deserving actresses): #FilmfareAwards pic.twitter.com/REHeAFihSL

Earlier, lyricist Manoj Muntashir expressed his disappointment on Twitter when his song "Teri Mitti" from Kesari lost the Best Lyrics award to "Apna Time Aayega" from Gully Boy. He claimed that he will never attend another awards show again. Filmfare Awards 2020: Kesari Lyricist Manoj Muntashir Upset After Losing to Gully Boy, Vows Not to Attend Any Awards Show (View Tweet).
It isn't really a big deal if a film bags 13 awards as Gully Boy did, though it questions both the credibility of the jury as well as the industry for having enough films to compete with the movie. Is that really the case? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
