Vijay Awards - Was it biased ?

Vijay Awards - Was it biased ?

Till this year Vijay awards has been praised as unbiased awarding ceremony where the talent gets identified and awarded. But, there were few eyebrows raised on the Vijay awards being biased to few tamil film celebrities. According to me, it was all very good except for few exceptions and these minor exceptions are difficult to avoid. Taking the vijay awards from Vijay TV as a whole, there are many factors to consider. I will point out aspects that I look for and admired & ofcourse enjoyed watching it.

Comparing with any other regional awards, Vijay TV has been doing a great job in fecilitating the tamil film celebrities. Now, it has become a big brand name for celebrities too, Dhanush in one point said that his "Adukalam" would get 6 or 7 Vijay awards. With too much of competition between the films and when they get recognized, celebrities are behind it for sure. I think going forward more people will be proud with their Vijay TV award. Also, there seems to be very less political influence in the Vijay TV as a whole and with these kinds of shows which makes the show better.

Vijay TV has their own people to compere, perform on stage, fill the time, do anything that they want. They have few celebrities to perform on stage but otherwise its their own guys who drive the show. This year Shriya, Amala Paul, Bharath performed on stage with some super songs adding more glamour to the show. Gopinath and Shivakarthikeyan compering was very nice and they were interacting with the audience which made it better. Shivakarthikeyan's sense of humour made it best.

I think the awards were given to best talent in most of the cases except for entertainer of the year award. It would been given to actor Arya for his few films in the year and all of them really entertained us. Madarasapattinam and Boss engira baskaran from Arya made a good point for him but I am not sure if they look for single film for entertainment. Best actor could also been considered for Arya for Madarasapattinam. Otherwise most of the other awards were in perfect hands. These can be the exceptions in the show which can be ignored for the most other part were perfect. There would have been quite many considerations by the jury for choosing these awards even which I might not be aware even. So, I am not complaining that the awards are biased.

விஜய் டிவி - பிலிம்பேர் விருதுகள்... சிம்பு பாய்ச்சல்!

சமீபத்தில் வழங்கப்பட்ட விஜய் டிவி மற்றும் பிலிம்பேர் விருதுகள் குறித்து கடும் விமர்சனம் செய்துள்ளார் நடிகர் சிம்பு.

விஜய் டிவி சார்பில் ஆண்டுதோறும் வழங்கப்படும் விஜய் விருதுகள் விழா சமீபத்தில் சென்னையில் நடந்தது. 

சிறந்த நடிகர்களாக விக்ரம், சூர்யா போன்றவர்களைத் தேர்வு செய்து விருது கொடுத்தனர் (ரஜினியை மக்களால் அதிகம் விரும்பப்படும் நடிகர் மற்றும் சிறந்த வில்லன் நடிகராக மக்கள் நேரடியாக வாக்களித்து தேர்வு செய்தனர்). 

அதேபோல பிலிம்பேர் விருது வழங்கும் நிகழ்ச்சி இரு தினங்களுக்கு முன் நடந்தது. இந்த விழாவிலும் சிறந்த நடிகராக விக்ரம், நடிகையாக அஞ்சலி ஆகியோர் தேர்வு செய்யப்பட்டிருந்தனர். வேறு பிரிவுகளில் பல கலைஞர்களும் விருது பெற்றிருந்தனர்.

ஆனால் இந்த விழாக்களில் விருதுகள் தனிநபர் தேர்வாக மட்டுமே அமைந்துவிட்டது என்பதைக் குறிப்பிடும் வகையில் சிம்பு தனது பேஸ்புக்கில்,"விஜய் டிவி - பிலிம்பேர் விருதுகளா அல்லது மகேந்திரன் - தங்கதுரை விருதுகளா என்றே தெரியவில்லை" என்று குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளார்.

மகேந்திரன் விஜய் டிவி பொறுப்பாளர், தங்கதுரை பிலிம்பேர் (தெற்கு) பொறுப்பாளர் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது. பல முன்னணி நட்சத்திரங்களின் மேலாளராகவும் இருப்பவர் தங்கதுரை.

சிம்பு நடித்த விண்ணைத்தாண்டி வருவாயா படத்துக்கு விஜய் மற்றும் பிலிம்பேர் விருதுகள் கிடைத்தது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
