Best Soundtrack

The winner of the Best Soundtrack of 2012 is Jab Tak Hai Jaan, an album which picked up slowly but was loved by one and all, especially fans of the music maestro A.R.Rahman. The trio of Rahman, late Yash Chopra and Gulzar coming together was a winning combination and the music did play a role in enhancing the impact of the film. The album got a whopping 23% of total votes. Interestingly last year too it was A.R.Rahman's Rockstar that bagged the Best Soundtrack award at the Bollywood Hungama Surfer's Choice Music Awards 2011.

We got in touch with the man himself- A.R.Rahman- who was thrilled on receiving this honour. Rahman said, "I want to thank late Yash Chopraji, Aditya Chopra, Gulzarji and all the people involved in the music of Jab Tak Hai Jaan. I also want to thank the voters of Bollywood Hungama and want to let them know that this is so timely and gratifying. Lots of love to all of you. Ella Pugazum Iraivanukke (All Glory Goes To God)! "

Following Jab Tak Hai Jaan was the soundtrack of Cocktail which got 18% of the votes. The album composed by Pritam had some chartbusters like 'Tumhi Ho Bandhu' and 'Daaru Desi'.

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.
