Award for the worst film in Bollywood
The Ghanta Awards Awarded for The Worst in Bollywood (since 2011) Country India First awarded February 2011 Website http://www.theghantas.com
The Ghanta Awards (sometimes abbreviated as The Ghanta ) was an award presented in recognition of the worst film in Bollywood.[ 1] Founded by Prashant Rajkhowa and Karan Anshuman [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] in 2010, the annual Ghanta Awards ceremony in Mumbai took place about the same time as other major Bollywood awards. The awards themselves were a large golden bell that is typically used for idol worship.
INvision Entertainment exclusively holds the IP rights for the Ghantas Since 2013.
The Ghanta Awards is a live show shaped by online voting by the audience. The public can vote on 13 'worst of' categories.[ 6]
The first Ghanta Awards ceremony was held in February 2011 at Tian Santorini[ 7] to honour the worst in film of the 2010 film season.[ 8] The last 2 editions have been held at J W Marriott on 15 February 2013 and 14 March 2014 respectively. The Ghanta Awards 2015 were slated to be held at the same venue on 8 March 2015 & 2021 (which is the last edition).

Thousands of film enthusiasts usually participate in voting.[ 10] Since 2014, the nominees have been decided by an internal team of professional writers and film enthusiasts at the company that manages the event.
Ceremony
The ceremony, typically held around the same time as other popular Bollywood film awards, is hosted by stand-up comedians of repute (the comedy group East India Comedy since 2014) and is interspersed with sketches mocking the worst film of the year nominees.[ 11]
Collecting in person
Most winners do not attend the ceremony to collect their awards. Notable exceptions include Sonam Kapoor (Mausam/WTF Was That) and Ritesh Deshmukh (Grand Masti/That's Anything But Sexy) .
