TUESDAY 5 JULY 2016 BACKBEAT KOCHI TIMES 4 [email protected] G litz and glamour, pomp and show, grit and glory, awards and accolades — Godrej Goldilocks SIIMA 2016, in its fifth edition, had all the trap- pings of a perfect South Indi- an potboiler. If the red carpet shenanigans of reigning di- vas of tinsel town set the tem- peratures soaring, the high octane naach-gaana and dra- ma on stage kept the enter- tainment quo- tient at an all- time high. And of course, for all those who walked away with awards in hand, there was a happy ending too. Held at the swanky Suntec Convention and Exhibition Centre, Sin- gapore, the two-day ex- travaganza that cele- brates South Indian cinema and recognises talent from Tamil, Telugu, Malay- alam and Kannada film in- dustries got off to a glitzy start on Day 1 with Bhal- laladeva Rana Daggubati wel- coming Singapore’s South In- dian diaspora in true filmy fashion, complete with a punch dialogue. Taking the baton from him were hosts for the evening, Lakshmi Manchu and Ali, who kept the audience in splits with their easy banter through the four-hour show. Sandal- wood’s Akul brought in a fresh dash of humour with his brilliant emceeing as well. The first evening, which awarded the best talent of Telugu and Kannada films of 2015, saw a stellar attendance from stars across the South, including matinee idols Chiranjeevi, Kushboo, Vikram, Suhasini, Rana, Allu Arjun, Puneeth Rajku- mar, Nithya Menen, and more. Huma Qureshi’s pres- ence added some Bollywood glam to the do, while Kabir Bedi made an appearance to mark his foray into South cinema. The stalwarts cheered on as veteran play- back singer S Janaki was ho- noured with a Lifetime Achievement award. Brilliantly choreographed song and dance acts by Pragya Jaiswal, Pranitha Subhash and Rachita Ram added a filmy tadka to the show. The highlight however was Sayeesha’s tribute to the big four of Telugu cinema — Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Venkatesh and Balakrishna. In what was her first ever stage performance, she shim- mied to hit numbers of all four stalwarts and also pulled off Chiru’s iconic “Veena Step” like no one else did be- fore. Devi Sri Prasad im- pressed with a high-energy gig, which had the whole crowd on its feet. Day 2, which was dedicat- ed to Tamil and Malayalam films, saw the auditorium packed to capacity with Sin- gapore’s milling Tamil- speaking population. And keeping them entertained were a bunch of funny men and lovely women — Shiva, Sateesh, Ranjini Haridas and Dhanya. Star power on Day 2 was stellar too - with Vikram, Pics: T Mallikarjun LENA DEDICATES AWARD TO KALPANA Lena who won the award for Best Actor in a support- ing role for her stellar act in Ennu Ninte Moideen, dedi- cated her award to Kalpana, who was also one of the nominees, for her role in Charlie. “The joy of winning this one is some- how marred when I see Kalpana chechi’s name along with mine in the list of nominees.
