About The Ghanta Awards

The Ghanta Awards or The Ghantas celebrates and rewards the worst of Bollywood.

The principle was simple: Every year, Bollywood takes our hard earned money and countless hours of life only to leave us feeling older, poorer and supremely frustrated. While there are good movies produced every year, there are several just want us to tear our hair out and dance naked at the producer’s house demanding refunds.

The Ghanta Awards was created as a means to give back to these films, to give back to these film makers – to make them understand that they needed to try harder…

There are more than a dozen film awards to reward the good films but how many to reward the worst of Bollywood? Also, The Razzies are a glorious institution but unfortunately, even after 30 years, they still don’t look at Bollywood at all. We think it is very highly unfair that the world’s most prolific film industry doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. So we decided to rectify the situation.

Once a year, we will give away awards in categories including Worst Film, Worst Actor, Worst Actor, Worst Song, Worst Director and WTF Was That?

The Ghanta Awards was founded by Karan Anshuman and Prashant Rajkhowa in 2010.

GHANTAS 2013

This is the third edition of the Ghantas, having started “rewarding” the worst of Bollywood in 2011. According to founder Karan Anshuman, it was the lack of a refund mechanism in place that prompted him to start the Ghantas three years back. “There are more than a dozen film awards to reward the good films but how many to reward the worst of Bollywood? So we started our own show.”

A jury of eminent film critics and journalists decide the nomination list for the Ghanta Awards. The jury consists of Rajeev Masand (Entertainment Editor & Film Critic, CNN-IBN), Karan Anshuman (Film Critic, Mumbai Mirror), Sudhish Kamath (Film Critic, The Hindu) and Sahil Rizwan (Film Critic,TheVigilIdiot.com). The winners are decided through public voting at TheGhantas.com.

In 2012, more than 1,00,000 people cast their votes in the Ghanta Awards.
