Rajkumar Hirani the director of the montrous (hit) '3 idiots' is also in contention for the award
Vishal Bharadwaj packed in a heady screenplay, racy drama, filmy cliches, zany humour - including giving silly puns and wordplay their rightful due and eliciting impressive performances from his actors in Kaminey.[/list]
