Yashvinblogs Awards 2014

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Warm welcome to the most awaited Awards Ceremony of the Mauritian Web, the Yashvinblogs Awards 2014! Since several weeks, I was very enthusiast to host this third edition event which sounds encouraging, based on the good response for the past editions of 2012 and 2013! And with the general elections held a few weeks back, things got even more exciting! However, the awards ceremony got unfortunately postponed because of the cyclonic weather prevailing since the past few days.

Coming to the selections of winners, you might probably guess that it was not an easy job to draw this final list from the numerous nominees in the different categories. Yes, this same dialogue is repeated over and over again for each award ceremony or competition. For this reason, this year’s jury was quite special : A selected number of Facebook members as well as the executive board members of the blog had that exciting task of choosing the right winners for each of the categories.

Without losing any more time, let’s discover our winners!

Movies which got cancelled

It is interesting to note that the production of several movies have been directly influenced by the outcome of the general elections of the 10th December 2014. It is so unfortunate that this has halted the production of the following movies, which could actually be best-sellers :

1. Touch me if you Can – Genre Adult (Visa 18R)
   It tells the story of a prime minister who made head and tail to become the President of a country. With complete immunity, the president could do whatever he wanted. Private jets and Rolls Royce were only some of his luxuries. However, all his dreams shattered when he got thrown to jail to pay for his sins.
2. Scandal No 10 – Genre Drama
   The story of an old lady who wanted to influence the electors by proposing bribes to the electorate. However, a courageous elector recorded her to expose her deeds to the media. A complete shame to the party. The untold secret in the story is all about the relationship of that elector with the old lady.
3. Clarisse House, My Dream – Genre Fiction
   Tired of occupying the same seat for the past decades, an old guy decides to change his fate by betraying each and every of his principles. He joins hands with the evil in order to achieve his dreams but unfortunately, he did not expect the unexpected!
4. Nillu and Bulldozer – Genre Romantic
   Everything started with a kiss, highly publicized by the media but it all ended in a tragic way, like always! The evil lady was sent back to her origins while the bulldozer was confronted to his fate, that of drinking the magic Lysol potion.

That’s all!
