20th January 2013 was a star studded event at the 58th Filmfare awards held at YRF studios in Mumbai. As celebrities walked the red carpet, there were the best dressed and worst dressed moments at this year's Filmfare awards.

Black was certainly back at this fashionable awards night as the men chose to play it safe with this colour. Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Manoj Bajpayee, Arjun Kapoor, Sahil Sangha, Ali Zafar, Ramesh Sippy, Boney Kapoor, Anu Malik, Siddharth Malhotra, Marc Robinson, Bhushan Kumar and Siddharth Roy Kapur are a few names who made black look anything but boring.

Karan ohar chose to do it a bit differently as he looked smart in a black and white suit. Complimenting the look was Jackky Bhagnani who chose to move away from being fully dressed in black. Anurag Basu kept it simple and traditional with his Indian attire, dressed in a blue kurta, off white jacket and stole. He could have dressed better for this one considering it was important night for the Barfi! director.

Like the men, Parineeti too chose to play it safe in a simple, boring black sleeveless dress. Chairwoman of the Miss World Organization Julia Morley looked resplendent in high black trousers and sequin black jacket. She entered with Marc Robinson and the Miss World 2012 title winner. Ileana D'Cruz who won the best female debut award for Barfi! dressed to kill in a Cavalli. Priyanka Chopra carried her sea-blue Armani gown perfectly. Thumbs up for this one. Anushka Sharma who walked away with the best supporting female actress award for Jab Tak Hain Jaan looked anorexic in her long flowing yellow gown. Some weight might have added to the dress' charm.

Sridevi looked delicate in a long orange gown that seemed to compliment her figure. But who stole the show was Madhuri Dixit who arrived for the awards function with husband Sriram Nene. Madhuri looked absolutely ravishing in a black Alberto Makali gown.

Pooja Mishra who was also draped in a black dress was heard saying, "I love the black lady, so I am dressed in black". Alia Bhatt got it all right with a Manish Malhotra creation. Simple, traditional yet beautiful! Her Student of the Year co-star Varun Dhawan clearly stood out from the crowd as he looked dapper in an Archana Walvekar creation. The maroon coloured jacket added the spark to his personality.

Huma Qureshi wore a blue Varun Behl creation that somehow missed the mark. Vidya Balan aka Mrs. Siddharth Roy Kapur stuck to her favourite designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee with a cheqeured saree with just a hint of colour. Rekha was amongst the show stealers with her traditional south Indian saree. Age just does not catch up with her! Yami Gautam looked delectable in a Tarun Tahiliani designed lehenga corset dress.

The disasters of the night included Amrita Rao who seemed to suffer from a Victorian hangover in a white jacket and long flowing purple skirt!Femina Miss India World 2012 Vanya Mishra missed the point at this event with a simple one shoulder black dress and gold motifs. Her LBD failed to create the magic.

This year, only a few celebrities seemed to make it to the list of best dressed. Maybe next year will be more hopeful.

A gang has been spreading rumours about me in the Hindi film industry that is preventing him from getting work, says Academy award-winning music director A R Rahman.

Collaborations between him and the Hindi film industry have reduced as a result, he adds

The maestro had composed music for Sushant Singh Rajput's Dil Bechara said that the reason he is not doing a lot of work is that a gang has been spreading rumours about him which resulted in him getting fewer projects.

Rahman's comments come amidst a raging insider versus outsider debate in Bollywood following actor Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely demise last month.

During an interview with Radio Mirchi, the Oscar-winning music director was asked the reason for doing less Hindi films.

Rahman said there has been "misunderstanding" between him and filmmakers as some people have been spreading "false rumours" about him in the industry.

"See, I don’t say no to good movies, but I think there is a gang, which, due to misunderstandings, is spreading some false rumours. So when Mukesh Chhabra came to me, I gave him four songs in two days. He said, 'Sir, how many people said don’t go, don’t go (to him). They told me stories after stories'," he said.

"I heard that, and I said, 'yeah okay, now I understand why I am doing less (work) and why the good movies are not coming to me.' I am doing dark movies, because there is a whole gang working against me, without them knowing that they are doing harm," the composer added.

Rahman has composed the music for Rajput's last movie "Dil Bechara", which premiered on Disney+ Hotstar on Friday. The film, directed by Mukesh Chhabra, also features Sanjana Sanghi and Saif Ali Khan.

The composer further said that he is aware of people's expectations from him but the "gang" is getting in his way.

"People are expecting me to do stuff, but there is another gang of people preventing that from happening. It is fine because I believe in destiny. I believe that everything comes from God.

"So, I am taking my own movies and doing my other stuff. But all of you are welcome to come to me. You make beautiful movies, and you are welcome to come to me," Rahman added.

Dubbed ‘Mozart of Madras’, A R Rahman has composed soundtracks for movies like Swades, Dil Se, Guru, Rockstar and more recently Sushant Singh Rajput’s Dil Bechara. 

The composer won two Academy Awards in 2009 for his songs in the popular Hollywood movie, Slumdog Millionaire. The composer also received a Golden Globes Award for his work in this movie.
