The wait is over! We have received your votes and finalized the winners for this year's IBNLive Movie Awards. 2015 was an eventful year for both Indian and international cinema. If the year saw several Box Office hits, it also helped small budget independent films make their presence felt. From the hits to the misses, our readers tell us what we will remember the Indian showbiz industry for in 2015.
With 28.94% ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ director Kabir Khan is the winner of Best Director by our viewers. Salman Khan starrer 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' delivered a beautiful message of communal harmony and entertained everyone. Kudos to the film's director Kabir Khan who simplified the entire complexities of Indo-Pak and presented it so innocently.
Shoojit Sircar for 'Piku' (20.52%)
Shoojit Sircar hit right chord with his slice of life film ‘Piku’. When has a film on a father-daughter pair, with constipation being at its core, brought a smile on the viewer’s face so much? Never before perhaps until Sircar and writer Juhi Chaturvedi decided to give us this wonderful film.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali for 'Bajirao Mastani' (19.65%)
There are a few things one has come to take for granted in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film: a stunning visual aesthetic, immaculately choreographed songs, and an imposing sense of scale. One couldn't help being overwhelmed by Sudeep Chatterjee’s eye-watering frames, and the elegant production design. Bhansali delivered a film that’s artistic, grand and compelling at the same time.
Neeraj Pandey for 'Baby' (13.17%)
An engaging thriller sprinkled with witty lines and crowd-pleasing moments given by thriller director Neeraj Pandey, 'Baby' starred Akshay Kumar in one of the best roles of his career. Pandey gives us some terrific moments of breathless action and genuine tension.
Meghna Gulzar for 'Talvar' (11.66%)
Director Meghna Gulzar’s decision of making a film on Arushi Murder Case had raised eyebrows but the risk that she took paid off. Perhaps her biggest strength was the star cast of the film and a tight script. Meghna pulled off a daring thriller based on true incidents with much ease and terrific results.
Navdeep Singh for 'NH 10' (3.17%)
Navdeep Singh’s road thriller had no ghosts in the story yet it made for a terrific horror thriller. So many moments in the film had the viewers biting the nails or grasping the next person’s hand out of sheer fright! Navdeep brought the certain elements in the film alive that haunts you long after the film is over.
Sonali Bose for 'Margarita, With A Straw' (2.09%)
'Margarita, With A Straw' can easily be called the revolutionary film of the year. Sonali definitely took a bold step with such a subject and was successful in portraying it perfectly with her directional skills.
Pan Nalin for 'Angry Indian Goddesses' (0.79%)
India needed female buddy film and Pan Nalin gave us fun, spunky ‘Angry Indian Goddesses’ which people loved, despite all the horrendous cuts imposed by the censor board.The way Nalin brought the realities and demons of urban women on screen was commendable.
