Though 2014 began brightly with some outstanding films surprising one and all, still we didn’t get to see many impressive projects this year as compared to 2013 and it was not a great musical year too in terms of a complete soundtrack as expected from Hindi films majorly depending upon their music in a big way.
In fact, there were only a few movies that managed to win over the viewers both through their content and music along with the solid performances. Therefore instead of honoring them separately as Popular and Critics Awards (as usually done by the trade to oblige all), BTC has once again given a few joint awards in the list in order to acknowledge the deserving candidates with their respective due.
So here are the names of BTC winners who achieved Excellence in Hindi Cinema in the year 2014 with much love and appreciation.
