Rani Mukherjee at the Zee Cine Awards |
Much was expected from the Zee Cine Awards, especially after two successful years in Dubai and London. Unfortunately, the much-hyped and publicized awards evening (that has been beating other award ceremonies hollow in recent years) was a letdown in terms of scale, grandeur and attendance.
The stage lacked depth, the anchors' script was lacklustre, the turnout was dismal (barring the paid performers who were all backstage), and besides Akshay Kumar's performance, the remaining acts were strictly ordinary. The umpteenth tribute to Yash Chopra at the end was repetitive (from previous years), stale and unnecessary. In all, the Zee Cine Awards left its audience groping for a lot more! |
