21st Annual Life OK Screen Awards nominations

While Queen wears the crown, bagging the highest nominations (13), Highway, Mardaani and Kick were a close second with 10 nominations each. Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haider, set against the backdrop of the Kashmir issue, was nominated in nine categories whereas the biopic Mary Kom earned seven nominations. Big budget films, riding on star power, however, lagged behind as indie-spirited films such as Ugly and Ankhon Dekhi rubbed shoulders with the big-ticket PK, bagging eight nominations each.
