RMIM Puraskaar 2008 results announced

RMIM Puraskaar results for year 2008 are now out.

'Rock On' is adjudged the "Album of the Year". The "Song of the Year" is 'kabhii kabhii aditi' from 'Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Na'. For other puraskaars and a complete list of ranked songs, visit the Puraskaar site (http://awards.giitaayan.com/) and find out other worthy albums, songs, and artists of the year.

The "Satish Kalra Sammaan" was not conferred on any album this year. As you may know, it is a benchmark honour and is given only when an album is considered all-time great. Unfortunately no album this year deserved it.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the process and made this happen. I especially thank the jury members - Aditya, Abhay, Ajay, Chetan, Ketan, Manish, Manisha, Megha, Ramanand, Sanjeev, Subrat, and Yunus - for a rather smooth and enjoyable exercise for me. I hope it was the same for them.

Follow the links below to see the results. Feel free to be happy or raise issues with them. If there are any corrections to the P-stats please let me know.

RMIM Puraskaar 2008 nominations are open

It's that time of the year again. Let's find out what worthwhile music came out of 2008. To start, point your browsers to the Puraskaar home and nominate your favorite songs of the year.

If you participated last year, the process has changed somewhat. Instead of selecting albums, you are now supposed to let us know your favorite songs. Of course you may still choose every single song of an album. But number of selected songs cannot be more than 30.

The nomination page mentions everything you need to know. Please read everything carefully and select your albums judiciously before you hit the submit button. If you have modifications to your entry, simply submit a new one using the same name and email id. Only your last received entry will be considered valid.

The nomination process will remain open at least until mid-January.

So revisit the year (see a list of released movies), note what you liked and submit your entry. And please spread the word too; the more nominations, the better.
