Music Composer Amaal Mallik's Post On Unfair Filmfare Nominations Is A Brave Move!

The Filmfare Awards released its nominataions a few days back and left us scratching our heads. The nominations had missed out a lot of great performances this year. Films like Phobia and Nil Battey Sannata were not to be seen anywhere, there was just one nomination each from M.S. Dhoni and Aligarh and worst of all Akshay Kumar or his films did not find a place anywhere in the nominations!

While this enraged a lot of cinema lovers and fans, it seems that someone from the industry itself has also decided to break the silence on this matter. And it is none other than singer composer Amaal Mallik. 

In a long Facebook post he criticised Filmfare despite having earned two nominations. Plus he did not fing his nomination for Baaghi justified at all. He said:

The singer then mentioned and talked about the nominations that he felt were unfair and namess that deserved a nomination but were missed out:

Not just this, he talked about the biases in the jury, called for a fair judgement, and also said that he is ashamed to be nominated for an album like Baaghi. He also made it clear tht he will stand by his view about this entire thing, even though he might never be recieving a Filmfare Award ever in his life.

But and a very big BUT !!!!!!! Why do you have a jury that is still working in the film industry, you need a non-biased jury, not people who are still part of the industry, who end up nominating themselves lol for their own music, their own productions and directorials.....

I am ashamed to be nominated for #Baaghi, and I know my director and producers might hate me for making this remark, but it was a a very pathetically average album....I'm not crying about my self here, I should be happy I have 2 nominations almost everywhere this year but yes it's funny !

Please do a survey and you will know only #ADHM #Dangal & #Sultan #KapoorAndSons #BaarBaarDekho #Airlift & #SanamRe till a point are the albums that the public has loved.... Please be fair and nominate a #Dangal that was honest to script too and yet is a rage today and is topping charts....Out of respect for seniors you can't just keep nominating them for stuff that hasn't Even been appreciated or even heard by 90% of India....That's the funniest thing I've seen in long l Winning or Lose doesn't matter the point is, After tremendous hit singles like #JabTak #KaunTujhe #Besabriyaan #SabTera #BolDoNaZara , the award jury decided not to nominate Armaan Malik for his work. Now coming to the final crux, this is me as a 3rd person who is seeing things happen, and I'm not speaking as a brother here.

The problem lies in the way people operate here, we all ball talk about welcoming youngsters with open arms and supporting them, well I think the rise of #ArmaanMalik as a voice has barely begun, and even if you try to duck youngsters like him, they will keep bouncing back and hitting charts.....Not nominating Manoj Muntashir for his work in #MSD & Kumaar for #Airlift and Rashmi Virag for #BolDoNaZara is as unbelievable as it can get, Amitabh Bhattacharya will win and he deserves it too, but if you don't nominate good work you aren't even inspiring the deserving hard working people to deliver better....

Nominating music & albums that no one has ever heard, that's crazy as hell boss !!!! A last request, please don't nominate music that only your jury members sit at home and applaud over starters and drinks. Really ?!???

Award Gaya bhaad mein yaar, but atleast nominate people as per their talent and their body of work every year....By not doing so you are making a joke of our film industry and the public backslash is huge, every accolade seems so so unreal and planned, new awards to keep people happy are coming up....If after this post even if I don't get nominations ever in my life, it is okay, I've always voiced my opinion, and I stand by it !

Good Day.

Amaal really bared his heart out in the post and his fearlessness is something we have been missing for a long time. We hope that he finds support in his protest! More power to you Amaal Mallik!
