Ram Gopal Varma finally won awards for box-office duds Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag and Nishabd. But he won't be thrilled about it. Varma and several other celebrities were honoured with the Bajaate Raho awards, hosted by a radio station, at a ceremony late on Monday. Unlike Hollywood
Varma had drawn flak for Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, his ambitious remake of the 1975 film Sholay, which nose-dived at the box-office. The film won him a red boxing glove trophy in the 'Most hyped film before release' category. The filmmaker also earned the 'Bravery' award for daring to make Nishabd, which has a storyline similar to the 1955 novel Lolita. Lead actor Amitabh Bachchan had also been nominated in the category for playing a man obsessed with his daughter's friend.
