Marred by the lack of the A-listers, long rambling speeches and self-plugging, IIFA 2012 turned out to be a lukewarm affair. Here is a report:

Vanakkam Singapore
After the applause actors Kamal Haasan and Sharathkumar got wherever they went in Singapore and the enthusiasm of watching Shahid dance to South Indian songs, everyone decided to try out Tamil in their announcements. First A R Rahman cheekily revealed the best actor’s name in Tamil, then co-presenter Rekha took the cue and made another remark in the same language. Then, when Sridevi was called upon to present the best film award, she also meekly talked in her mother tongue. The audience was maha-impressed.
