Salman Khan’s Dabangg took the 17th Star Screen Awards 2010 by storm by winning as many as seven awards, including the awards for the Best Actor (Male) – Salman Khan, best choreography, best action and best music.
Salman’s leading lady in the film, Sonakshi Sinha bagged the Best Newcomer (Female) award for the portrayal of a village belle in last year’s biggest hit. The film’s hit song, Munni Badnaam Hui, won the film a couple of awards – ‘Best New Talent In Music’ for Mamta Sharma and Best Choreography for Farah Khan.
The best film and best director awards, however, were bagged by the small-budget film, Udaan, directed by Vikramaditya Motwane. The film, based on the teenager’s struggle with his strict father, also won the Best Actor in A Negative Role (Ronit Roy) and Best Child Artiste (Ayaan Barodia).
