Bajrangi Bhaijaan Wins Best Film at TOIFA

The TOIFA awards (Times of India Film Awards), so like the Oscars or the Baftas, took place at the Dubai International Stadium this evening and what a ceremony it was! Bollywood’s top stars lined up to honor the best movies over the past year.

The best film award went to Bajrangi Bhaijaan while Kangana Ranaut claimed best actress award for her rile in Tanu Weds Manu Returns. Ranveer Singh was awarded best actor for his role in Bajirao Mastani.

Varun Dawham was particularly excited backstage
