A touching tribute.

I'd the privilege of watching the Asianet - Ujala Film Awards. Not only was it colourful, but it also matched the Filmfare Awards in grandeur and substance. And most of the Malayalam film fraternity was in attendance showing the stature it has achieved over the years.

This year's awards ceremony had an additional flavour, in that, Amitabh Bachchan was felicitated with the 'lifetime achievement award' for his contribution to cinema. And the mallus did it in style by putting up a collage of songs from the movies that he'd done over the years before the final act of handing over the award. And clearly, the actor was moved.

I am told that it's only the Malayalam film industry that has done so! And the reason is that his movie 'Kandahar' with Mohanlal has been released just last month!!
