It happened as it was expected; the biggest blockbuster of 2007, Shah Rukh Khan headlined Om Shanti Om, bagged 6 awards at the RS/TB Bollywood Awards 2007.

The film overcome stiff opposition from another Shah Rukh Khan starrer, the sports flick Chak De India, to become Best Film. It’s director Farah Khan got the Best Director award, again after another close fight with Shimit Amin and Chak De India, while Arjun Rampal and Deepika Padukone were crowned Best Actor/Actress in A Villainous Role and Best Debut Actress respectively. And to top it all of, the soundtrack of Om Shanti Om, composed by duo Vishal-Shekar was Best Music of 2007, and Ajab Si was Best Song.

Shah Rukh Khan would have won Best Actor for his double role in Om Shanti Om, had it not have been for… wait for it… Shah Rukh Khan. The Best Actor category competition was only between his role in Om Shanti Om and Chak De India. The portrayal of the shamed but in the end hero Kabir Khan won him that gong. The award for Best Story was also given to Chak De India.

Rejuvenated actress Kareena Kapoor’s charecterisation of the happy-go-lucky lass Geet in Jab We Met got her the Best Actress title. Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma won Best Actor and Best Actress in Supporting Roles for the same movie, Life In A Metro. Born again actor Govinda returned with a bang and got a much deserved award for Best Actor/Actress in A Comical Role for Partner.

What was unexpected, was the award for Best Debut Actor, going to grand-son of singer Mukesh, Neil Mukesh. The actor’s first role in a Bollywood flick in Johnny Gaddar was appreciated more than Ranbir Kapoor’s Saawariya.

The Mani Ratnam directed Guru got two music awards, Best Lyrics (Gulzar - Tere Bina) and Best Playback Singer Female (Shreya Ghoshal - Barso Re). Popular fan favourite Himesh Reshammiya bagged the Best Playback Singer Male award for his rendition of Assalmu in Aap Ka Suroor.
