Glass is Half Empty

I was watching the highlights of IIFA awards and came across a nomination that really caught me by surprise. The nomination was for Vidya Balan has the best actress in a negative role for her role in Bhool Bhulaiya. I have not watched the film though. Believing the film is the remake of Manichithrathazhu(in Malayalam) and God knows how many languages it has already been made, I was taken back with surprise as this was the same role for which Shobhana got the National award for best actress. I know every one has a different perception but can’t imagine how different this one is. The role was of a mentally ill girl who could have caused harm, if not for the role which Mohanlal (role played by Akshay in Hindi) plays for the movie. If the jury thinks it was a negative role I should give the jury the award for the best jury consisting of negative people
