There’s been no shortage of Bollywood-related events taking place around the GTA this week, but even amidst all the hype and hoopla we haven’t forgotten why the biggest stars in Bollywood have descended on Toronto: the IIFA Awards at the Rogers Centre on Centre (yup, it’s big). While we wouldn’t call ourselves Bollywood experts, we’ve been following the scene pretty closely ever since we heard the awards would be coming to Toronto. With that in mind, we offer a small preview of five of the biggest and best films in the running at tomorrow’s spectacle, after the jump.
1. Once Upon a Time in Mumbai
Big names: Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi, director Milan Luthria
Nominated for: Best Picture, Best Lead Actor (Devgan), Best Director (Luthria), Best Screenplay and eight others
Our take: The trailer tells us: “In the age of Chocolate Boys, rewind to the era of Real Men” We’re not sure what that means (or how, exactly, we would go about doing that), but the movie looks like a time-shifting sex-and-violence-packed ode to American gangster flicks. In other words, we’re big fans.
