The year 2015 wasn’t just about phenomenal performances and great films. It was a year that gave movie buffs multiple reasons to rejoice as conventional topics and done-to-death formulas took a backseat. While the eventful 2015 saw its share of disappointments, it did surprise many as successful films didn’t only stick to big production houses. There were several small budget and independent films which were impressive in their own niche ways. In the third edition of IBNLive Movie Awards, we select nominees in various popular categories and allow our readers decide the outcome. Take our poll to vote and choose your favourite performers of 2015.
debut poll:
Shlok Sharma's 'Dum Lagake Haisha' worked not just because of an amazing script but also because of the confident performance of its lead actress, Bhumi Pednekar. She played an unconventional heroine but nailed the small town girl's character with absolute ease.
Whenever Shweta Tripathi comes on screen, she light it up. The actress, a known face in the ad world, made a super debut in 'Masaan'. Her role as Shalu, a brahmin girl in love with a lower caste boy, struck a chord with the audience.
Apart from the fact that Vicky Kaushal is extremely good looking, the actor also has a very strong screen presence and in 'Masaan' his performance was hard to miss. From the mannerisms of a small town boy to a lover in pain, Kaushal got it right in every frame.
Having assisted Anurag Kashyap in the past, director Neeraj Ghaywan learnt the craft well and on the job. Perhaps that's why his debut film 'Masaan' seemed surreal and flawless.
How can a 6 year old steal the limelight from a superstar like Salman Khan? But child star Harshali Malhotra did just that in Kabir Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. She had no dialogues but emoted only through her eyes and stole every one;s heart with her innocence.
Super sexy singer Anushka Manchanda played a troubled yet fun singer Mad in Pan Nalin's 'Angry Indian Goddesses' with absolute ease. So much so that her character seemed an extension of her real self.
Model turned actress Pavleen Singh nailed Pam in 'Angry Indian Goddesses'. She played the typical Delhi upper middle class bored housewife with absolute ease. She was brash, pompous and really funny.
Thank god that 'Titli' was passed by Censor board fir release. Because otherwise we would have been director Kanu Behl's brilliant piece of work.
'Pyaar Ka Punchanma 2' was predictably fun. with outrageous dialogues and ample amount of female bashing. But the one who stood out the most was actor Manvir SIngh. You feel the most for his character Sunny in the film.
Critics may have panned 'Hero' but Athiya Shetty's confident performance as Radha was lauded by one and all. We just hope she does better films in the near future.
