A Case Study-‘CineMAA’ Awards Best Actors

One of the top news channels of Andhra Pradesh, MAA TV, has started presenting  the awards to the film fraternity every year from 2003 onwards, for the best performers in various departments in movies. The cinemaa awards are voted for by both the public and a committee of experts. Either co-incidentally or as per the award committee’s rules, best actor is chosen from the best blockbuster of the year by the public as well as the committee. This is the criteria to be followed by even ‘Filmfare’ committee as well. Following are the good evidences of it.
