The stars bade goodbye to the skies for a few hours to descend on Hyderabad on Friday evening. With sizzling performances from top actresses providing a treat to the audience and a galaxy of stars from throughout the country present, the Black Lady was clutched, petted and flattered to the fullest. The crème de la crème of tinsel town was present at the 56th Idea Filmfare Awards 2008 — South. With top celebrities for company, the audience was in for a night of scintillating dance numbers and awards galore, and of course, star-gazing! Vaaranam Aayiram (VA) and Subramanipuram — two films that shook the Kollywood BO last year — were aptly awarded on stage. While Subramanipuram won the Best Film and its director Sasikumar awarded the Best Director's Award, Suriya-starrer Vaaranam Aayiram almost swept the music category. Receiving the Best Actor Award, Suriya said, "This is as much Gautham's award as it is mine."
