MPCC-Most_Miraculous_Midwife copy

There are some memorable childbirth scenes in Indian cinema, like in Enthiran (2010) or in Sudigadu (2012), but the most miraculous midwife of them all is definitely the Real Star of Telugu cinema.

MPCC Award for the Most Miraculous Midwife goes to Srihari for the following scene from the 2010 Telugu movie Bhairava.

Srihari saves a pregnant lady, calms down the unborn child with his trademark babble, and beats up some bad guys. Giving birth is quick and easy if there is Srihari protecting you and giving instructions. PUSH I SAY!


MPCC-Most_Stylish_Shaving

The last Mega Power Chit-Chat Film Award was for the mightiest moustache. Moustaches and beards are very common in Indian movies and shaving them off is not something the characters would do every day. But when they do, some do it more stylishly than the others.

MPCC Award for the Most Stylish Shaving goes to Vikram for the removal of his facial hair in the 2015 Tamil movie I. The event takes place in the song “Aila Aila”.


Now that I have a new movie blog, I felt that there should be a way to celebrate the greatest and most memorable achievements that I’ll come across during my adventures in the exciting world of Indian cinema. This is the first episode of Mega Power Chit-Chat Film Awards!


MPCC-Mightiest_Moustache

Indian cinema is known for its moustaches. Usually the size of a man’s moustache seems to tell something about his status in the society – the biggest moustaches can only be found on the faces of the most powerful leaders.

MPCC Award for the Mightiest Moustache goes to Nassar for his enormous whiskers in the 2012 Telugu movie Dhammu. Congratulations! Even the bad guys do not always have moustaches this big. It does not look very practical, though.
