Times of India Film Awards 2013: Barfi!, Vicky Donor, Agneepath lead award winners
Although the biggest screams were for Shah Rukh Khan at the inaugural Times of India Film Awards, when it came to the actual awards, it was all about Barfi!.
Held at BC Place on April 6, the Bollywood peoples' choice awards were doled out alongside a few critics' choice awards.
The romcom Barfi!, about a deaf and mute man (Ranbir Kapoor) in a relationship with two girls (Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz), scooped up five awards, sweeping the major award categories: best female debut (D'Cruz), best female actor (Chopra), best male actor (Ranbir Kapoor), most popular director (Anurag Basu), and most popular film. Kapoor, who cohosted the evening alongside Anuskha Sharma, managed to beat Shah Rukh Khan in the best male actor category.
Meanwhile, the sperm donation comedy-drama Vicky Donor followed with three awards: best male debut (Ayushman Khurana), and the best female and male supporting role categories (Dolly Ahluwalia and Annu Kapoor).
The action-drama Agneepath ("Path of Fire"), starring Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt, also collected three awards: best actor in a negative role (Ranbir Kapoor accepted the award on behalf of his father, Rishi Kapoor, who was not able to attend), best music director (Ajay Atul), and best male playback (Sonu Nigam).
While audiences chose Chopra and Kapoor for best acting awards, critics chose Deepika Padukone (Cocktail) and Irfaan Khan (Paan Singh Tomar). Critics also chose the Indian crime drama Gangs of Wasseypur for best film.
Here's a list of the winners. (More coverage of the awards show can be found here.)
