This is the third edition of the Ghantas, having started “rewarding” the worst of Bollywood in 2011. According to founder Karan Anshuman, it was the lack of a refund mechanism in place that prompted him to start the Ghantas three years back. “There are more than a dozen film awards to reward the good films but how many to reward the worst of Bollywood? So we started our own show.”
A jury of eminent film critics and journalists decide the nomination list for the Ghanta Awards. The jury consists of:
- Rajeev Masand, Entertainment Editor & Film Critic, CNN-IBN
- Karan Anshuman, Film Critic, Mumbai Mirror
- Sudhish Kamath, Film Critic, The Hindu
- Sahil Rizwan, Film Critic, TheVigilIdiot.com
The winners are decided through public voting at TheGhantas.com.
