The Star Screen Awards are soon to be announced and UTV is going to rock! As many as 3 movies out of the 6 nominated for the Best Film Category at the esteemed Star Screen Awards are from the UTV farm. The movies nominated are Udaan, Rajneeti and Peepli Live!! I have seen Rajneeti and Peepli Live and feel the latter to be very deserving- it is one of the best movies I have ever watched! I did not like Rajneeti that much as I felt the movie lacked originality in most parts of the script. I am yet to see Udaan which I heard was a superb movie!! Directed by Vikram Aditya Motwane and produced by Anurag Kashyap, Sanjay Singh and UTV Motion Pictures, Udaan was an excellent example of a small film receiving worldwide recognition.
