No fear of star
performances at a televised show, unencumbered by the chore of ferreting out
sponsors, doling out trophies till midnight come, the first SpotboyE Salaams
Awards led by the in-house film critic Khalid Mohamed, Editor Vickey Lalwani
and staffers, adjudged the categories for the triumphant ones, in terms of
popular as well as of critical appeal of 2016.
Clearly, the SpotboyE
Salaam winners affirm that 2016 was the year of Woman Shakti. The majority of
the toppers dealt with themes related to the empowerment of women, a welcome
change from the usual male-dominated movies over decades from our industry.
Viva women of spleen and
substance, then. The winners of the SpotboyE Salaams are:
