SWA Awards 2022 were given across 17 categories.The awards show had a unique theatre presentation of live songs and drama in the desi nautanki style, which had a tongue-in-cheek, funny and satirical reflection of problems screenwriters face in their professional life.Speaking later about the concept of the show, Satyam Tripathy, Convenor, SWA Awards, whosebrainchild this piece of theatre was, said, “We wanted to do something different in terms of the format of an awards show. And we also had a lot to say about screenwriters and their issues, and we were done preaching or rabble-rousing. So the song and drama act was born in which we had an anthem, ‘Aao Haath Uthaaye Hum Bhi’ as also a sardonic yet amusing song, ‘Sankat Adrishya Banke’ that spoke of the woes of a screenwriter through the pandemic. We sang about our ‘Haq Zindabad’ and also chuckled about being social media friendly in the song ‘PR Karo Kuch Yaar Karo’. I guess, in the end, we just wanted to have fun with or fun, i.e., talent in Urdu.The theatre act was written by Amit Aryan and Shelly with lyrics by Shelly and Satyam, music composed by Udbhav Ojha and directed by Dharmesh Mehta.Dhananjay Kumar, Chairperson, SWA Awards, added, “The SWA Awards nite is a celebration by the screenwriters for the screenwriters with the screenwriters.”About SWA:Founded in the year 1960, the Screenwriters’ Association (SWA) is a body of writers for the writers and by the writers.
