Luxe Style Awards: Many memorable moments but controversial decisions left in question

Pakistani the filmfor the past 22 years, illuminating the colorful worlds of TV, music, and fashion Lux Style Awards The role of has certainly been very important.

The most important thing is that Awards Held every year, be it a grand function, or a short ceremony, the fans always look forward to it.

The Lux Style Awards ceremony held in Karachi on Friday night was memorable and spectacular in many respects, in which apart from the awards, Maya Ali, Ali Zafar and Saba Qamar as well as Mamaia Shah Jafar’s excellent dancing entertained the audience.

The event was however much better than last year’s event, last year the awards were very dull and many big names were absent.

This time, relatively many big names participated, but still there is no glory like the first time due to the Corona epidemic.

As usual, the ceremony started following 10 pm, while the time on the invitation was listed as 8:30 pm.

In the beginning Shay Gill and Faisal Kapadia remixed the late Junaid Jamshed’s song ‘Is Rah Par’. Faisal Kapadia did some justice, but Shay Gul and the Young Stunners failed completely, the truth did not come true.

Saba Qamar and Fahad Mustafa took over the hosting duties but the script was very weak, later Ahmed Ali Butt and Dur-e-Fashan Saleem also hosted and then till the end these four continued to host in the form of different pairs. Fahad Mustafa and Ahmed Ali Butt can be considered the best duo among them and many times it was felt that these two were delivering some sentences out of the script.

The best dance of the event was performed by Maya Ali. His dance on the song ‘Pella Rang’ will probably never be forgotten. She also danced with Farhan Saeed on the songs ‘Nai Soach’, ‘Marjaniye’ and ‘Dil Kare’ where she maintained her individuality, but Farhan Saeed neither understood her style nor got along with her. .

Perhaps this was the most unsuccessful performance pairing in the history of Lux, where on one side the excellent Maya Ali who was 100 percent full of dance, on the other side, Farhan Saeed.

The other big performance of the night was that of Ali Zafar and Mamiya Shah Jafar, which was excellent in every way. Ali Zafar is a seasoned performer and Mamiya Shah Jafar has given him full support which is commendable.

The third most interesting and important performance of the night was Saba Qamar’s tribute to Reema Khan.

Saba Qamar performed best on Reema Khan’s Miss Istanbul songs ‘Ye Jo Char Dain Ka Saath’, ‘Dil Ley Ja Niki Jai Yeh Karke’ and her movie Nikah’s song ‘Resham Ka Hai Lehanga Meera’.

Saba Qamar performed best on Reema Khan’s Miss Istanbul song ‘Ye Jo Char Dain Ka Saath’, ‘Dil Le Ja Niki Jai Yeh Kar Ke’ and her film Nikah’s song ‘Resham Ka Hai Lehanga Meera’. Danced well.

However, there was a blatant mistake by the management of the show that the song ‘Nicky Jai Yeh’ from the movie ‘Nicky Jai Yeh’ was not filmed on Reema Khan.

This song was filmed on Saima and Muammar Rana. If Rima was to be paid a tribute, at least ask her which songs have been filmed on her.

If seen, it is a disgrace to an artiste that you cannot find three songs of Reema who has done more than 200 films, it is a shame not a pity.

What was lacking in his hosting, he made up for it here. The special thing was that on the last song, Reema herself also got up and came on stage with him and both of them danced together in a full way, which went on for four moons.

After paying tribute to Rima, she was honored with ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ by the management.

Similarly, this time Marina Khan was awarded a special honor for playing the role of bringing change in the society. This special award for women was started last year.

Among the highlights of the event it would be remiss not to mention Meera Sethi, Meera Sethi did the only comedy sketch of the show. First, Fahad Mustafa and then Ahmed Ali Butt had an interesting exchange of words and jokes. Meera Sethi made the event a true saffron battle.

Kafi Khalil also performed ‘Kahani Suno’ and ‘Kana Yaari’, but despite its popularity, Kahani Suno is a sad song, which does not seem appropriate for a happy occasion. On the Balochi song of ‘Kana Yaari’, neither Abdul Wahab Bugti nor Awa B, in such a situation, the atmosphere would not have been created by standing dozens of dancers. Abdul Wahab Bugti and Eva B were sorely missed in the ceremony.

Who won the award?

Now let’s talk regarding the awards, the biggest awards are the film awards which are always given at the end.

There were two critics and four public vote awards in the film category. The best film and best director awards from the critics went to Sarmad Khost and his film ‘Kamli’.

After that, the best film song was declared as ‘Pella Rang’. The best actress was Saba Qamar for the film ‘Kamli’ and the best film award went to ‘Quaid-i-Azam Zindabad’ which was shared by Faiza Ali Mirza and Nabeel Qureshi.

Then, when the four-hour-long ceremony was coming to an end, the last category i.e. the best film actor name was to be announced, the names of Fahad Mustafa, Humayun Saeed, Farhan Saeed, Imran Ashraf and Feroze Khan were announced. .

On this occasion, the hall was echoing with slogans of Fahad Mustafa’s name, Asif Raza Mir took a short break before naming the winner, a silence fell on the audience, Fahad Mustafa had half risen from his seat. The host said: ‘Feroz Khan for Touch Button.’

As the hall became silent, it was felt that the reader had made a mistake.

Standing next to Asif Raza Mir, Reema asked if this is really the name, he said, yes! That is the name.

There was some thunderous applause in the hall and since Feroze Khan was not present, his award was received by Imran Ashraf following which the ceremony ended but left many questions behind.

The nomination of Feroze Khan in ‘Touch Button’ raised questions whether it was the lead role or not, but getting the award is completely incomprehensible.

Talking regarding the other awards given at the ceremony, the TV dramas category had the highest number of awards.

This year too, Yamuna Zaidi killed the field here, who won the best actress award in both the critics and public categories for the drama ‘Bakht Awar’. Yamuna has been winning the best actress award for three consecutive years.

In other categories of drama, the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Writer and Best Director went to Mustafa Afridi and Saifee Hasan respectively.

The drama ‘Zinf Aahan’, featuring many famous actors, won the best drama award. While the honor of the best emerging artist went to Dananir Mobin.

Naveed Nashad won the award for Best Background Music for ‘Mere Hum Safar’ in the TV drama awards voted by the public.

In the same series, the best drama, ‘Kisi Teri Khud Bhogi’, the best long-running serial, ‘Betiyan’, while the award for the popular TV actor went to Arsalan Naseer.

In the music category, three of the four awards went to ‘Pasuri’, including the Best Singer, Most Played Song and Best Music Producer awards. While the ‘Best Song’ award went to Kafi Khalil for his song ‘Kahani Suno’.

Talking regarding the fashion sector, some interesting things have happened this time. For the first time in the history of these awards, a woman, Alina Naqvi, received the award for the best photographer of the year. This is the first time in Lux’s 22-year history that a woman has received this award.

Abir Asad was named the best emerging model in fashion, while Maha Tehrani was named the best fashion model of the year.

Tabish Khawaja was the best stylist while Sunil Nawaz won the award in the hair and make-up category.

In a bid to do ‘something different’ this time around, the luxe entangled their awards with a lot of problems, the red carpet was made into a strange circle, which was a huge loss and many media representatives often missed big names and important showbiz personalities. Missed talking to.

The Lux Style Awards held in 2023 left some bitter and many sweet memories. In Pakistan anyway, there are Ekka Dukkah award shows, in which case the Luxe Style Awards are a prize anyway.
