Star Screen Awards 2017 Appreciates Talent Over Fame

Bollywood award shows are hardly seen appreciating talents. No matter how hard the actors perform, awards are always received by the popular actors. Due to this reason, mostly the award winners are predictable. The inspirational actors like, Nawazuddin Siddique, Naseeruddin Shah or Manoj Bajpai are mostly seen winning the hearts. Though, they hardly receive awards.

However, Star Screen Awards of 2017 turned the table. This year we saw a few big banner films failing at the box office and small films winning the hearts. Similar trend was seen in the Star Screen Awards this year. It was the new talents that managed to grab major trophies, making the fans happy. It is a great moment of celebration for the fans of the fresh talent in Bollywood.

Movies like Tumhari Sulu and Bareilly Ki Barfi won a lot of nominations. Though, Amir Khan’s Dangal remained the highest winner.
