Best Lyricist

They say words make a song and if that's true then the Best Lyricist category surely is an important one. This year the winner of Best Lyricist is Amitabh Bhattacharya who wrote those beautiful lines in the highly emotional 'Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin' from Agneepath. Amitabh bagged 24% of the votes to emerge on top of the list and is fast turning out to be one of the most sought-after lyricists in Bollywood.

The runner-up in this category was yet again Ayushmann Khurrana along with his college buddy Rochak Kohli who co-wrote and co-composed the beautiful love song 'Pani Da Rang' from Vicky Donor. Despite having Punjabi lyrics, the song found pan-India acceptance.

Best Choreographed Song

We all love to see our favourite stars dancing like never before in our Bollywood songs and its here that good choreography comes to the rescue. This year the Best Choreographed Song was 'Fevicol Se' from Dabangg 2 which featured Kareena Kapoor like never before. Farah Khan, who choreographed the song, gave Kareena some really tough dance moves but the actress delivered and how. A bonus was of course the presence of Salman Khan in the song.

When we Farah Khan giving her the good news, she said, "Your surfers have good taste…Please thank them from my side. I am very thrilled. In fact, I keep saying that I've retired from choreography yet no one believes me and every year I end up doing a couple of songs at least because it becomes very difficult to say No to dear friends and family. So whenever I do choreograph that one song, I give it my whole, as it has to be special and has to be in the running for all the top awards. Besides winning is always better than losing (laughs). So I would really like to once again thank the viewers of Bollywood Hungama for voting for me."

The runner up in this category was the massy number 'Chikni Chameli' from Agneepath featuring Katrina Kaif and choreographed by Ganesh Acharya.

Best Music Video

A good music video often serves as a catalyst for audiences to flock to the theatres. This year too there were many such videos which vied for top honour in this category but in the end it was 'Mashallah Mashallah' from Ek Tha Tiger that was voted the Best Music Video beating other competition by a big margin. The song featured during the end credits of the film and had Salman and Katrina dancing in a Moroccan setting. The song was beautifully choreographed by ace choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant.

Speaking about this honour, Vaibhavi said, "Firstly I want to just say thank you, because I may have a very disappointing reaction from people from my own fraternity, but one thing is that your audience will never fail you or let you down. In fact I think that is the whole reason we do films, mainly to entertain them and if they are happy with our work and appreciate it with such a response, it speaks a lot. I am really, really touched by the audience and my fans for voting. Actually it was very difficult to shoot 'Mashallah', as the song came in at the very last moment and we had to shoot it, so there was a lot of decision making that we went through, when we decided to rather shoot it in a controlled environment than any other location. So it was a big task to recreate Morocco in Film City Mumbai and shoot the song sequence. Here is where I think I should really thank our art directors for making Film City Mumbai look like Morocco."

The runner up in this category was 'Hookah Bar' from Khiladi 786 that is still a favourite among D.J.'s at all the parties and night-clubs.

Best Song

Last year saw a lot of chartbusters right from party songs to soulful and melodious numbers but in the end it was the very romantic number 'Pani Da Rang' from Vicky Donor which got voted as the Best Song with 14% of the total votes. The song has been sung by Ayushmann Khurrana who has even composed and written the lyrics for the song with his college buddy Rochak Kohli.

When we contacted Ayushmann and asked him what he felt about this honour, he said, "To be frank when we composed this song in college we were not thinking of cutting an album or using it in the industry, we made it just for fun. But you know it always happens that most of the good stuff comes out of the fun stuff. It's usually when you're having fun in life without any pressure of performing or making it big, that life gives you surprises and gives you a benchmark number like 'Pani Da Rang'. But on the whole I think it's very overwhelming and 2012 has been the year of debutants in Indian Cinema with almost every kind of film and every song being appreciated. It certainly means a lot to me and Rochak Kohli that 'Pani Da Rang' has been appreciated so much, as this song is really special to us."

The runner-up in this category was the foot-tapping number 'Tumhi Ho Bandhu' from Cocktail.

Best Female Playback Singer

Last year it was Shreya Ghoshal who bagged the Best Female Playback Singer at the Bollywood Hungama Surfer's Choice Music Awards for her song 'Teri Meri' from Bodyguard. This year however we have a new winner in Sufi singer Kavita Seth whose melodious voice added zing to the friendship anthem of the year- 'Tumhi Ho Bandhu' from Cocktail and made her come on top of this list with 18% of total votes.

When we contacted Kavita Seth to convey this good news, she was over the moon and said, "Oh wow, that's amazing news. It's great to know that audience has voted for my song and has liked it so much. It's all God's grace and audience's love. I don't have words to express my happiness. Hope I can continue entertaining my fans with more such songs in 2013 as well."

Kavita had very close competition from newcomer Shalmali Kholgade who sang 'Main Pareshaan' rather brilliantly in YRF's Ishaqzaade.
