Mumbai: 'Filmfare Awards 2020' have disappointed many netizens. People have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the winners, and #BoycottFilmfareAwards has been trending on Twitter since Monday morning. While fans tweeted their ire, lyricist Manoj Muntashir declared that he is heartbroken over not winning an award for penning the heart-wrenching track "Teri mitti" ("Kesari"). He took to Twitter to announce that he would not be attending any award ceremonies for the rest of his life. Manoj penned an emotional note: "Dear Awards, even if I try all my life...I won't be able to write a better line than 'Tu Kahti Thee Tera Chaand Hoon Main Aur Chaand Humesha Rahta Hai'. You failed to honor the words which made millions of Indians cry and care for their motherland. It would be a great disrespect to my art if I still continue caring for you. So here I bid you a final good bye. I officially announce- I won't attend any award show till I breathe my last. Alvida."

Good bye Awards..!!! pic.twitter.com/iaZm0za40u

Coming back to Muntashir, netizens came up in support of him because "Teri mitti" is a song that touched hearts of almost all Bollywood buffs, especially due to its lyrics.

Quoting just "Tu Nanga hi..." from Apna Time Ayega is not doing justice to the entire song which has a context. Having said that, if I see in the entirety #TeriMitti is much much better than #ApnaTimeAyega and deserved the best lyrics award. Period. #BoycottFilmfareAwards
