Filmfare Awards Best Actor 1954 – 2017

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.

  • we amir fans are now aware,that these so called srk fans(3.2 billion) and ranbir kapoor fans(good for nothing)were showing there fake sympathy towards dangal release,just to degrade salman khan,now when amir has won this award,they are bashing aamir.i request all salman,amir,ajay,hrithik and akshay fans to be together and should not get divided.

  • now they are bashing hrithik for kaabil and raeees……and few days back they were saying….hrithik has the biggest potential,he should release his movie on eid against salman khan…..I just want to ask why against salman,why didnt you say he should release alone on eid,because in this way both will get low collection……..but listen you lizards(srk bhakt)…..public is with hrithik,from saturday onwards it will be all kaabil everywere.

  • Indicine kabhi female actors ko bhi importance de diya karo.. u are only biassed for male actors why??????? Why dont u publish for female actors do u have any problem regarding females …plzzz answer me….

  • I think sonam deserves popular choice bz aliya ki film ne neerja se kam box office collection kiya and she has make actors too in her film on the other hand neerja had only sonam….isnt it???

  • Highly Surprised, They refused to give best actor award to Aamir for PK which was more deserving than this time in Dangal. Whatever we acknowledge this award but frankly not matters whether he win any or not. He is above all.

    Request to some srk fans who thinks Srk deserved for Fan. No doubt srk was fab as Gaurav Chandana but his performance was certainly not best of this year, also the film and performance is forgettable. History wise in last 25 years they never given best actor award for the performance in popular category in a flop film except Swades (which itself was controversial). So it will be more surprising if they given to srk for fan. Its my perception, agree or not doesn’t matter.

  • I am happy for Aamir & he deserved it but I don’t know why i think srk was much deserved than aamir. Anyways, Filmfare is the most prestigious awards in the country after National award.

  • You can’t be suddenly ACCEPTABLE by giving awards to Aamir Khan…..Did he really had better performance in Dangal? If you look closely there was not big performance by Aamir Khan in Dangal compared to PK….I am not sure how he won….Looking at the performance only I bet SALMAN BHAI had performed way better in SULTAN…..also you can say SRK had much scope of performance in FAN than Aamir had in DANGAL….Since DANGAL was mostly about the performance of the two GIRLS …..I do not understand how this judge choose the BEST ACTOR…really confused here…….I guess FILMFARE wanted to be CREDIBLE in the eyes of fans, so they gave the awards to popular choice….FILMFARE AWARD SKS…

  • After seeing this list i have to say that i considered filmfare fake but shahrukh really deserved the awards for 4-5 films he got starting from :
    1. Baazigar
    2. Devdaas
    3. Swades
    4. Chak de India
    But giving him awards for romantic movies in really fir the same character Raaj or Rahul is highly biased and stupid.

  • dissapointed .. aamir did great performence.. but he has strng supporting cast.. bur what srk did that no one can do.. sitting in one place for 6 hours for makeup… acting fenomiuously..changing voice.. he deserves this award… overall its a bad year for srk… hope he wil get it for raees or rahunuma…

  • @ indicine, abe rascals what is your problem with me ?why u always not publish only my comments ?what wrong I told in my 9:02 am comment ?everything is free for that loser tiger.he can use any cheap words like deshdrohi, gangu teli etc for our respectable bhai.but I can’t do this.I think u are a chamcha of that self proclaimed tiger.

  • Hahaha just see lallu fans saying filmfare is fake because they are 100% sure that there fula hua khan can never win an award !! Hahaha

  • Btw some are saying that SRK bought these awards to them i just want to say that see the movies for which srk got filmfare awards – My name is khan , Chak de India just because ur favourite actor tingu or makhi cant give a performance like srk it doesnt mean thag srk bought these awarss it shows that u and ur favourite actors are afraid of a man Named SRK beacuse they know they can never beat him thats why they stopped attending hahaha pathetic loosers !! Lolol when u cant win u say they are fake it shows u r the one who is fake !!

  • Srk in Fan was 100 times better than Tingu in Mangal !! They should not intermix best acting with best film !! Mangal was better than Fan but in acting Tingu wasnt even close to the epicness of SRK in Fan !!

  • On akki fan @rashmi said akkis acting performance in airlift was better than SRKs performamce in Fan !! Hahaha even akki will laugh on that joke !! Akki wasnt even close to Ranbirs acting in ADHM even kalwa was better in shivaay ( in acting skills ) and u r comparing him with SRK !!

  • SRK sir its not ur loss that u didnt win the best actors award for fan but its filmfare and that trophys loss that it will be in tungus hand !!

  • wow so happy for aamir !!
    but i honestly feel this time around srk was the most deserving one !!
    his acting in fan was much better than anyone !!

  • I really feel that Srk deserved the award for Fan than Aamir. The role of Gaurav Chandana was not as as layered Mahavir Phogat, but Srk still made it worth watching in that crappy film. Also, he had to play two different characters in the movie and he did it perfectly.

  • Hrithik is the only actor to win for a sequel movie dhoom2..what nonsense is this who Will give award for sequel movie..#indicine pls answer or anybody else big question?

  • @Rishabh Guess what Aamir’s Dangal not only broken the dream of Salman fans of HGOTY, but it also broken heart of SRK fans just like Aryan khanna broken of Gaurav. Teri halat Gaurav chandana jaisi ho gayi h, anzaam bhi yaad rakhna. Aamir ne phir srk fans ki maar li. Enjoy

  • @indicine there is a mistake in article
    “And the first actor to win both the Best Actor critics and popular award (for Koi Mil Gaya)”
    but as we all now before that srk has won both the best actor critics (for kabhi haan kabhi naa) and best actor popular(for baazigar) in 1993. plz correct it
