CHAK DE INDIA’ WINS BIG AT V.SHANTARAM AWARDS
Sunday 18th November 2007, Mumbai.
First the critical acclaim, then the box-office success and now the
industry acclaim! In what could be just the start of an award rich
season, ‘Chak De India’, the inspirational sports blockbuster from Yash
Raj Films was the big winner at the V. Shantaram Awards. The Shimit
Amin directed film won for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best
Editor and Best Sound sweeping aside all competition.
The V. Shantaram Awards are considered a sign of the industry’s
recognition for its best achievements and are similar in that to the
Oscar awards. It is also unique in the fact that films from all over
the country are eligible for the awards.
Said Yash Chopra, Chairman, Yash Raj Films, “We are extremely proud of
‘Chak De India’ and being awarded ‘Best Film’ by jury of distinguished
film personalities makes it even prouder. These honours only strengthen
our resolve to create unique films that not only resonate with
audiences across the country, but also stand the test of time, as I
believe ‘Chak De India’ will”.
