The was a historic night for Bollywood, marking the first time the ceremony was held outside of India. Hosted at the Airport Expo in Dubai on February 26, 2004, the show was a massive five-and-a-half-hour extravaganza that reached over 250 million viewers worldwide. 🏆 Key Highlights & Winners
Supporting Roles
: Saif Ali Khan won Best Supporting Actor for Kal Ho Naa Ho , while Shabana Azmi took home Best Supporting Actress for Tehzeeb .
The Venue and the Vibe
Dominant Films
: While Kal Ho Naa Ho led with 15 nominations, Koi... Mil Gaya was the most awarded film of the night, winning 6 categories.
- Winner: Urmila Matondkar – Bhoot
- Note: In a year where commercial heroines dominated, Matondkar won for her critically acclaimed performance in a horror film.
Best Actor and Actress Awards
- Best Film: Koi… Mil Gaya (over Kal Ho Naa Ho and Munnabhai). A questionable win—it’s a hit, but not the best film of the year. This reveals the awards’ commercial bias.
- Best Director: Rakesh Roshan (Koi… Mil Gaya) — safe choice.
- Best Actor (Male): Hrithik Roshan (Koi… Mil Gaya) — defeating Shah Rukh Khan (Kal Ho Naa Ho) in a minor upset. Hrithik’s acceptance speech is humble but overly long.
- Best Actor (Female): Urmila Matondkar (Bhoot) — the genuine surprise. A horror film performance winning a mainstream award was rare. Urmila’s emotional speech (“They said a heroine can’t carry a horror film…”) is the night’s most authentic moment.
- Best Supporting Actor (Male): Sanjay Dutt (Munnabhai M.B.B.S.) — deserved, but his speech is cut short.
- Best Supporting Actor (Female): Shabana Azmi (Tehzeeb) — a token nod to “art cinema” in a sea of popcorn films.
