The Filmfare Awards are annual awards that honour artistic and technical excellence in the Hindi-language film industry of India. The Filmfare ceremony is one of the most famous film events in India. The awards were introduced by the Filmfare magazine of The Times Group in 1954, the same year as the National Film Awards. They were initially referred to as the “Clare Awards” or “The Clares” after Clare Mendonça, the editor of The Times of India, and modelled after the Academy Awards.
History:
Do Bigha Zameen was the first movie to win the award for Best Film. The first winners for the other four categories were: Bimal Roy for his direction of Do Bigha Zameen, Dilip Kumar for his performance in Daag, Meena Kumari for her performance in Baiju Bawra, and Naushad Ali for his music in Baiju Bawra.
The Filmfare Awards also introduced the Short Film Category in 2017, with Vidya Balan and Gauri Shinde on the jury. The People’s Choice Award for Best Short Film was presented to Khamakha. Short films like Chutney, Matitali Kusti, and Taandav won awards as well.
Gregory Peck, the Hollywood star, received an invitation to be the guest of honor at the inaugural awards ceremony on March 21, 1954, at the Metro Theatre in Mumbai. Unfortunately, due to a delay in his flight from Colombo, he missed the event.
However, Peck managed to attend the subsequent banquet held at the Wellington Club (Gymkhana) in Mumbai after the awards ceremony.
Bimal Roy has the record of winning the most awards (7) and the distinction of winning the award thrice in a row, on 2 separate occasions (1954–1956 and 1959–1961). He also won the award whenever he was nominated (7/7). Sanjay Leela Bhansali has received the award 5 times, and Yash Chopra and Raj Kapoor have received the award 4 times each.
