I won't call it a stupid award if it is voted by the masses or based on box office success meaning it was the most popular one.

Having said that, voted by public does not make a film a brilliant one. It just says that it is popular and more people saw it. Indian audience is still quite immature in understanding true cinema. This may sound quite odd but it is true.

If you look at other well known awards, you will find similar awards like - Public choice award / People's award. Such awards are given basd on some survey or poll from the public and not the jury of the award group.

I personally think most of the mainstream bollywood awards are just rubbish other than some technical awards.
