RK Awards are back, honour best of OTT

The Raj Kapoor Awards for Excellence in Entertainment are back! And this time, they are being presented to the brilliant performances and talents that various OTT platforms brought to us in the year gone by. OTT was the lockdown leitmotif linking all those confined to the four walls of their homes in the thick of the uncertainty that 2020 brought. Bingewatching, web series and OTT...were some of the buzzwords last year and fittingly enough, this year’s Raj Kapoor Awards for Excellence in Entertainment are being presented to web series that left us craving more, and performances that left long-lasting impressions. Instituted by The Daily Eye in 2018, the awards are being presented this year in collaboration with The Free Press Journal. The jury, comprising director of photography Faroukh Mistry, sound designer Kunal Mehta, senior government officer Sushil Poddar, film scholar Dhruv Somani and actor Asha Parekh, was chaired by writer and author Khalid Mohamed.
