The 64th edition of Filmfare Awards South was a mixed bag this year as well. Big-budget vehicles swept most of the awards on offer, while deserving, independent films were sidelined. The event was nonetheless high on glamour and performance. Actors Rakul Preet Singh, Manjima Mohan and Nikki Galrani performed onstage, and took quite a lot of selfies.
Trisha, who won an award for her role in Kodi, was much admired for her elegant Nishika Lulla pink outfit. Stylist Neeraja Kona could have picked better shoes, perhaps.

While Samantha Ruth Prabhu was dressed in rather sober colours, wearing an Anamika Khanna outfit.

Critic’s choice winner Manjima Mohan wore a Gauri & Nainika green outfit, bringing in some old-world charm.
