2015 Top Performers -

Best Actors (Male) -

1. Ranveer Singh (Bajirao Mastaani, Dil Dhadakne Do, and Kill Dill) - It will be hard to match the hat trick of acting greatness by any other actor in coming years. A great entertainer is born. Many positives very few negatives with Ranveer. He probably is yet to give a great comic performance or a great intensely sad performance to reach an all time great actor. But for this year he is definitely the best of the recent crop.
2. Ronit Roy (Ugly and Guddu Rangeela) - Scary and bad. He is menacing without being over the top. Always has been a great actor this time he got some roles to show it off. I am pretty sure he can do any role if he is given one.
3. Nawazuddin Sidique (Badlapur and Bajrangi Bhaijaan) - He has already established himself as a great actor. Badlapur blew my mind the film was taken up a notch because of His acting. Though he is a little type casted but this jury (of one) is not fretting too much about it.
4. Honorable Mentions - Shahid (Haider) and Ranbir Kapoor (Bombay Velvet) - Both got into their respective roles lived it and came up with good performances.

Best Actors (Female) -

1. Kangana Ranaut (Tanu Weds Manu - 2) - She is already one of the best actors today. If she is there she takes over. The double role was so awesome that this jury (of one) was confused if it is kangana or someone else as the second girl.
2. Priyanka Chopra(Bajirao Mastaani and Dil Dhadakne Do) - Thank God Piggy Chops is back. I had forgotten why I used to call her female Bachchan. 2 very different roles, done perfectly. She is lucky that this jury is not deducting her marks for her overseas endeavors :).
3. Honarable Mentions - Deepika Padukone (Piku and Bajirao Mastaani) and Huma Qureshi (Badlapur).

Best Director - It is a great sign that this jury had hard time to put numbers to all the awesome directors in Hindi films. One area hindi films have huge improvement is Directors. If we start paying writers then we truly will have great movies.

1. Sanjay Leela Bhansali (Bajirao Mastaani) - He probably lived this movie for a few years. Waited to make it this big and this extravagant. you can see from performances that everyone believed in Bhansali's vision.
2. Anuraag Kashyap (Ugly and Bombay Velvet) - Every other director can be replaced except Anuraag Kashyap. Who else can think of Ugly? and then make it!
3. Honarable Mentions - Sriram Raghavan (Badlapur) and Vishal Bhardwaj (Haider) - Badlapur and Haider were philosophical masterpieces.
