Filmfare Awards is the second most prestigious award in the industry after the Indian National Awards. Part of the reason is history, Filmfare is the oldest awards in the Hindi film industry. Out of more than 20 categories and trophies presented each year, the Filmfare Best Actor Award is something that the entire industry and fans look forward to. It’s also the most fiercely competed and discussed category, as those nominated for the Best Actor award are usually a combination of immense popularity and talent. Filmfare Popular awards, in itself, is 50% audience voting and 50% jury.
Some facts:
- Dilip Kumar has been nominated 19 times and won 8 awards. The legend is also the only actor to win 3 back to back awards. His conversions of receiving a nomination to winning an actor, is by far the best.
- Shahrukh Khan has been nominated 36 times (all categories) and has won the Best Actor award 8 times, a record which he shares with Dilip Kumar. He hasn’t won the award this year, will he get it for Raees?
- Amitabh Bachchan has been nominated for a record 29 times but has won just 5 awards.
- Hrithik Roshan has been nominated 13 times and has won 4 trophies. Hrithik is the first and only actor to win both the Best Actor and Best Debut awards in the same year (for Kaho Na Pyaar Hai). And the first actor to win both the Best Actor critics and popular award (for Koi Mil Gaya).
- Rajesh Khanna has received 14 nominations and has won just 3.
- One of the biggest superstars in the industry, Salman Khan has received the ‘highest number of nominations without winning’. Some of his notable losses are to Jackie Shroff in 1989 (Maine Pyaar Kiya), Shahrukh in 1995 (Karan Arjun) and Hrithik in 2003 (Tere Naam).
- Aamir Khan has won the Filmfare Best Actor award thrice, but he refused to accept the award for Lagaan in 2001 and doesn’t attend any Indian award ceremony. He didn’t attend when he was declared the winner for Dangal, will he acknowledge.
- Among stars who are currently popular, Ajay is the only actor to win both National Awards and Filmfare Awards. The other name is Amitabh Bachchan. The Khans, Hrithik and Ranbir have never won a National award. Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan are probably the most popular actors, who have never won a National or Filmfare Best Actor award.

FILMFARE proved that it is a credible award by giving it to Aamir for DANGAL. Cz NO ONE at all expected that they ll give it to Aamir since he doesn’t attend. But this will ensure people have faith atleast at the Filmfare awards. SHAHRUKH KHAN :(
Wanted Srk to win for FAN since he was outstanding and brilliant in the film. Maybe it wasn’t a good film overall and hence he lost out on a sincere performance. Waiting for next year. Maybe Raees or The Imtiaz Ali Film :)
Shahid Kapoor Again Won it and he was Just AWsum in UP………
He is Upcoming King of Bollywood i think so,,,
Flop show .either it should have been with ssr or srk .filmfare has degrade itself by first not nominating akshay and then giving best actor to one who don’t care about it..salman and aamir were on same level its just that the supporting cast of dangal were more powerful..
Well this proved that filmfare awards are not fake.
Really happy for amir khan
But feeling sad for srk and salman
By the way cant wait for indicine’s asksession ;)
Don’t worry gangu teliwalas, let Aamir take this fake award. The most genuine award GOLDEN KELA is waiting for gangu teli.
Pink was the best film of 2016.. Such a powerful message conveyed through the movie. Big b’s performance was miles ahead of all others. Tapsee wasn’t even nominated, sigh. I hope even if a small % of our country’s men understood the message of the movie and start treating every woman with dignity & respect that would be the biggest award for the pink team.
Akshay Ajay Salman don’t need to win these crappy awards. We all know a Akshay is way better actor than Ranbir or a Ajay is a more versatile talent than Shah Rukh. Dharma played politicking in a just recently released movie so its not a surprise why for ages a particular group of actors have been winning.
Look at the names there Amitabh Shah Rukh Ajay Hrithik Aamir and you expect non actors like Akshay to be part of that? Even airlift and rustom his best ever performance was totally neglected meaning any of the above superstars could have done better including even Salman khan if he had signed .
Congartes amir…
I think dangal is by far the best movie bt perfomance of srk is quite a head then amir anyways betterluck nxt time
Srk for dil toh pagal hai is totally undeserving. Aamir should have got more for Jo jeeta wohi sikandar, rangeela.
Amitabh has so so many great performances, but won only five for less great performance like don,piku,him. This shows the credibility of Filmfare awards.
Amitabh won five only out of his 150 films and three of the five times were for not so best performance like piku, don, Hum.
Filmfare’s last ditch attempt at credibility is an exercise in futility. If Aamir Khan has finally been awarded after Lagaan, then state the reasons for ignoring his 3 Idiots. TZP, PK, Rangeela and many others. Aamir Khan’s persona has become so huge that Filmfare’s can’t ignore him any more. But just like Indicine, they chose to be sold to the wrong Khan for ao many years and has lost it’s position irreparably.
8 to Shahrukh, 5 to Amitabh & 3 to Aamir. Are we reading this right. Nothing for PK, 3 Idiots, Ghajini, Fanaa or Rangeela. And awards for DDLJ, KKHH, DTPH & Devdas for the manipulator? Nothing looks right here.
Aamir Khan is bigger than any award show. He has 5 HGOAT. Everyone else can go to Hell
These shit awards r not deserving to Akshay because Akki is bigger than these awards.
Highly disappointed how can they ignore Shahrukhs brilliant performance in Fan and Amir doesn’t deserve this by just gaining and loosing weight you cannot act better
I think nowadays any body making biopics on any sports person wins award see Farhan Akhtar got for BhagMilkha
I think if Tushar Kapoor will do a biopic on Kapil Deo he will get award pathetic.
And How come Amitabh Bacchan won for Amar Akbar Anthony and Hum.
Seems like someone couldn’t buy Filmfare awards due to demonetization :P
Srk should won for fan .srk performance in fan was outstanding very bad
There is a difference between good film and good actor. Dangal was a far better film than Fan but acting wise SRK was way ahead in Fan.
# Peace
Hrithik deserves best actor awards for Guzarish and Agneepath.don’t you agree@indicine?
Next year Hrithik will get filmfare best actor award for his exceptional performance in Kaabil.
Aamir was more sincere & real in Dangal than the overacting of Gaurav in FAN
Happy for aamir khan winning best actor for dangal. Most deserving. ??? Happy for shahid kapoor for udta punjab winning critics awards for best actor and alia bhatt for best actress. Most deserving.???
Indicine u should block this @tigre who dont have the respact for others ..i am surprized how u give permission such kind of cheap ..this is a respactable site n such kind of people can show the bad image of ur site hope u think n publish it
After looking all the above Filmfare Best Actor Award list. .
No buddy can doubt on Filmfare .
Every winner are well deserved.
And National Award for Saif Ali Khan make a doubt on It.
Best of luck Aamir Khan.
well… it should have either SSR or SRK both deserved it equally…
Meanwhile SalmanFans are like Amir ne bhi awards kharidne chalu kar diye..bhai ke paas thode paise kab aayenge :P
Srk not winning award…. so happy
Filmfare not giving award to srk is a lesson to all other crap awards shows…..
Keep it up Filmfare but still im angry with u for not nominating akki for special26, baby or airlift….atleast he deserves nominations rather than those overrated actors….
