There were many actors, directors and films that have simply been forgotten because they were not supported by the industry and critics. Pankaj Kapoor may even be forgotten after he's gone. I'm glad last year that this argument broke out about Dharm vs. Eklavya for the Oscar race. It shows that people are fighting back and are bringing it to the public's attention. They should do this every year until bollywood if forced to take notice.
It's the jury at these awards show who are to blame, they have a prejudice against any film outside the mainstream mumbai-based film industry. I believe many of them simply don't know what a good film is, they are more concerned with awarding films and performances that were popular with the masses.
There's an interesting article here about this subject.
http://www.ndtvmovies.com/newstory.asp? ... 0080041889"Take any popular film award in India, it's headed by a jury that's completely film illiterate and absolutely star smitten. Our judges are such madcaps that they completely succumb to the populist cinema and box office success instead of acknowledging talent."
"Bollywood at its best is only a variety entertainment programme production industry. Only money and clout speak. Talent and potential get lost in the barrage of popular cinema."
"There's no dearth of good independent cinema in India, cinema that doesn't always cave into the irrational pressures of populist taste and the economy of blockbusters. Just that, these films are not able to rub shoulders with megastarrrer, multi-crore budget films and are forced to pale into insignificance due to lack of adequate recognition."
Straight to the point!

But if we go with bollywood criteria who could go over board the max, among AB/SRK/NANA etc! He might be a safe choice too, but ofcourse our GOLAM Feroz Khan is runner up!
but when talent is not promoted and appreciated it dies its own death. The role that Pankaj did in DUS if any of other wankas main stream favs would do, Akki, Bachans in any format, yrf 's srk and its portages etc it will earn a BEST ACTOR IN NEGATIVE ROLE NOD, especially created that year. and look at CRITIC's award , PANKAJ WAS UNDOUBTEDLY, UNCONTESTED WINNER for DHARM, and CHATRI CHOR, but I bet these film was not even considered. Dharm needed EXTRA NODE for BEST CRITIC AWARD film too!
