Hi Gomzy and all, I feel the same way about "Bazi Laga" and "Ek lo ek muft" "Bazi Laga" is my most favourite song from Guru.
Regarding fair or unfair, i do not believe in these awards. Only National Awards matter for me, and they are biased as well these days. Do not be too happy, nor be sad at ARR's winning or not winning such awards.
