Hyderabad|India|July'2009: Filmfare
announces its nominees for the best talent in South India for 56th
Idea Filmfare Awards 2008. The 56th Idea Filmfare
Awards will be held on the 31st of July in Hyderabad. The
much awaited day is getting nearer when Stars, Celebrities and the Best
Talents of South India will gather under one roof to celebrate
one of
the most extraordinary and revered film awards – the 56th
Idea Filmfare Awards!
The 56th edition of
Filmfare Awards’ will be presented this year by the leading telecom

Santoor.
The Filmfare Awards
(South) was born in 1963 and used to be held at the prestigious
Kalaivanar Arangam in Chennai. Eventually it shifted to the cosy Music
Academy. It epitomizes the true spirit of good cinema, the guts, the
glory and the glamour and signifies ultimate recognition and consistent
encouragement of talent. It’s a mighty congregation of talent, kinship
and camaraderie all under one massive canopy of the biggest award
ceremony in this country. Initially only Tamil and Telugu were
considered and in 1966, Malayalam films were added and finally Kannada
films became part of the event in 1969. Over time the show and the
awards have gone through a plethora of evolutionary changes including
those in number of categories, venues and more. The spirit of the awards
lies in its popularity not just among the masses but also among the film
fraternity. This is apparent from the overwhelming attendance each year,
a great show of not just sporting spirit but also of unending support.
The show has always
been a star studded one, with a lot of Hindi film actors attending. So
many memorable moments of history have been created on this stage. Each
year the Lifetime Achievement never fails to be an endearing and
touching moment usually ending in a thumping standing ovation.
