Angry Bachchans threaten to skip Filmfare awards
I think Ranbir is a very good actor but he didn’t deserve the Best Actor (Male) Critics ,, I think it should goes to Amir OR SHAHID … BAD CHOICE
Amitabh Bachan should be the best actor male because his film
Paa was semi hit.I think Aamir khan deserves best actor malr
because his film was all time blockbuster
hrithik roshan the best actor (male) in the year? Because his films was all time hit, or semi hit…….
