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 34 times (all categories) and has won the Best Actor award 8 times, a record which he shares with Dilip Kumar.
- Amitabh Bachchan has been nominated for a record 29 times but has won just 5 awards.
- Hrithik Roshan has been nominated 12 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 twice, but he refused to accept the award for Lagaan in 2001 and doesn’t attend any Indian award ceremony.
- 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 is probably the most popular actor, who even has quite a few critically acclaimed performance, but has never won a National or Filmfare Best Actor award.

salman not win filmfare
its filmfare loos
this award not matter only boxoffice collection matter
a simple formula of profit or success is output – input
i’m a huge salman fan. Still congrats to srk.he is the best in awards.but he should not accept other awards for ce,hny,oso,ra one.but he takes them.. Filmfare declared that rajni & salman are greater than all awards.search google to check truth.still srk deserves.salman will do films like phir milenge after 60.
All were deserving.. Swades was most deserving .. SRK should have won National award for that performance
Salman deserve for Maine pyar kiya,Hum dil de chuke sanam ,Tere naam (also deserve national award) & Dabangg
Next year will be tough compitition for best actor award.
I think nomination will be:-
Hrithik – mohenjo daro
srk- fan or raees
aamir- dangal
shahid- udta punjab or rangoon
Suhsant sing rajput- m.s dhoni
ranbir- jagga jasoos or adhm
i think hrithik will win for mohenjo daro but it will not be easy for him to win best actor award next year. Next year has been more performence oriented movies r line up for release.
Like aamir not interested in filmfake awards
Salman rejected the award for kuch kuch at the beginning itself
hum salmirwaale
@saurabh- Swades was also not a commercial success but SRK got best actor award because he deserved it..
You missed Ranbir Kapoor for Barfi (2012) but award given in 2013 – thanks.
Salman rejected the award for kuch kuch at the beginning itself
Bazigar
DDLJ
DIL TO PAGAL HAI
KKHH
DEVDAS
SAWDESH
CHEKDE INDIA
MY NAME IS KHAN
no one can act liek SRK in all those movies Sawedsh and Chekde is my peresonal Favroute . he wil win some more Fan , and Raees are on line .
Filmfare decide the winners by conducting polls among their readers so its nothing great..majority of the movie lovers r interestd in polls they dnt care
This year best actors nomination will be-
Varun dhawan- badlapur
akshya kumar- baby or brothers( i think he will nominated for baby)
srk-dilwale
shahid- shaandaar
ranbir kapoor- tamasha
And another nomiee will be salman or ranveer singh if baji roa mastani release this year.
Next year will be tough for best actors trophy. Many movies which looks performence oriented r line up for release next year.
i think nomination will be :-
Hrithik – mohenjo daro (has chance to win)
Srk- fan or raees (i think will nominated for fan)
Aamir- dangal
shahid- udta punjab or rangoon (i think will be nominated for udta punjab)
Sushant singh rajput- m.s dhoni
ranbir – jagga jasoos or adhm ( i think will be nominated for adhm)
King is shining.
I m nt salman fan but he deserves filmfare for dabangg not sir srk for MNIK
Great article @indicine like it.
I think Srk is little Unlucky Because his best performance VeerZara and Swadesh came in same year…His performance in Swades was best in his carrier and VeerZara also the one of best his performance which could have been get her Filmfare…And also Saif got National award for Hum Tum rather than Srk in Swades that was highly controversial Decision…And also his performance in kal ho na ho outstanding But Hritik was more deserve for Koi mil gaya…And yes Dil to pagal hai and kuch kuch hota won for that movie was debetable……But i always fill that Filmfare always concider Serius and Intence role more other type role….
2011- Ranbir Kapoor (Rockstar) not SRK
2012- Ranbir Kapoor (Barfi)
Filmfare was a very prestigious award, until it started giving awards on popularity basis.
A movie like Sholay only one award that too in a technical category during the earlier times.
Can anyone imagine something like this happening now? It would have sweept off with all awards currently.
People nowadays switch on the tv only to see the performances in these award shows and nothing else. It has been reduced to the value of that of a bucket of popcorn that we have during movie intervals.
The only awards that have some value are the national awards, the individual state awards, though even they are a bit biased, but there is still more of genuinity in them compared to the filmfare, screen, iifa and the likes.
Most Corrupt and Crap Awards Of Bollywood Film Fake Awards.
Even after giving best film of the year BABY , he will not get any award nor his movie ..! maybe not even nominations .
just like Omg , s26 nd holiday got neglected even after Carrying the best report of the year in especially viewers ..! critically acclaimed too !
srk didnt deserve fr kkhh and dtph
hr didnt deserve for knph and d2
all these were normal commercial films and unnecessary awards were given in these films
Some of the best performancces of Akshay in his Career :*

nd apart from these , he hve done outstanding job in comedy film , everyone will agree with bt our award makers don’t consider comedy film in best films nor the actors …Y ? totally rubbish

unfair With Akshay Kumar …Dats it bt who cares , even today everyone accepted tht award shψws r just for Fun now ..!
Hrithik’s performance in Dhoom 2 was praised by each and every critics. But, still this case is debatable as Saif’s role in Om Kara was an intense act. But Saif wasn’t even “nominated”. And that year, there was not a single award ceremony where Hro didn’t get. He got all awards for Krrish, but in case of filmfare, he won for D2.
What I can conclude is that it is quite easier for SRK,HR,Salman,R
k to get atleast nominated as they have good terms with Yash Raj and the filmfare awards take place at the YashRaj studios every year..can’t say the same about Akki and Ajay.
Akki has some wonderful performances which I don’t think were even nominated
Sangharsh
Jaanwar
HeraPheri
Garam Masala
Namaste London
Special 26
And the reason they may cite is some of these films were’nt big grossers..then how come SRK won filmfare award for Swades which was a boxoffice failure??
Ajay can’t win for Zakhm and Legen of bhagat singh but srk can win for swades,Hypocrisy indeed!
Among the performances of 2015, I loved two performances mainly. One is Akki in Baby, the another one is BigB in Piku. But I guess BigB may win as his character in Piku was so adorable that you will root for him and Piku is a better film. But Akki is equally deserving.
Ranbir in Tamasha and Ranveer in Bajirao Mastani should give tough competition to them.
80s was unique coz one cant imagine today that ‘an actor non superstar’ winning 3 awards like Naseer sahb won in the early 80s or Anupam Kher. Would be great if going forward if the like of Nawaz, Manoj, Irrfan etc start winning multiple awards but sadly it wont happen. The whole things a joke n has become a rigged bidding club where award goes to highest bidder imo
This is going to be a BIG war in 2016. I wonder how much big it’s going to be!
*Hrithik in Mohenjodaro
*Aamir in Dangal
*SRK in FAN
*SRK in Raees
*Ajay in Shivaay
*Akki in Airlift
*Ranbir in Jagga Jasoos
*Shahid in Udta Punjab
*Sushant in MS Dhoni
Dilip jis awards are for classic films with iconic roles that will last through the ages unlike our Global Queens films where his Raj/ Rahul boring avatar was same old same old crap from 1 film to the next….
