FILMFARE 1999
(This year we could not cover Filmfare like we did last year and so have posted just a review about it. Sorry folks...)Some of the films are linked to their reviews on the Bollywood Message Board.
The 44th Annual Filmfare Awards 1998
A unique and personal look at the 44th annual Filmfare Awards presented on February 21st 1999 at the Andheri Sports Complex, Mumbai.All the photographs below were taken with a Sony Mavica Digital Camera under extremely trying conditions (how else would you describe trying to get a pic while surrounded by the likes of Pooja Batra, Priya Gill, Preity Zinta, Neha, Tabu et al?) (-8. As a result some of the pics are blurred. We think it is a small price to pay for not processing any film without its permission and using an all-digital process. We hope you agree.
