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.

Hrithik in 2003 Tere Naam?
Last night when my friends asked me about best performance of last year , I took the names of Aamir Khan and Manoj Bajpayee!
Many were predicting names of BigB , SRK and SSR for best actor award. But my heart was saying only Aamir would win this award and no one else.
And you can see now. Aamir won in popular and Manoj Bajpayee in critics..
Even in 2015, right from the January month (when Bajirao Mastani shooting wasn’t even completed), I was saying Ranveer’s name for best actor award. At that time, many visitors of indicine trolled me for it. But you know what exactly happened ?? !
Conclusion: My Filmfare prediction for best actor award hardly goes wrong ??
Myself as a big Shahrukh fan I want him to win eachyear but accept the truth he could not win for Happy New Year but my point is as far as acting is corcern He lost FilmFare best actor award many times eventhou he was deserving in films like
1 Ramjane
2 Mohobbatein
3 Kal Ho Na Ho
4 Chalte Chalte
5 Kabhi Ha Kabhi Na
6 Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna
7 Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
8 Chahat
9 Don 2
10 Chennai Express
11 Fan
Because theres a difference between good movie and good performance even a film flop at the box-office they have to appreciate the best performance of an actor.
And if Hrithik could win for Dhoom 2 why can’t Shahrukh for Don 2 his acting dialogue delivery charisma stayle everything was amazing?
And in Chennai Express how nicely he was scaring on the train scenes is it not called acting or what?
2003 went for srk for devdas instead of ajay for the legend of Bhagat singh…….strange!!!!! Fake and sold film fare. …
Best vfx 2016 for fan and best action for dangall! !!!!! Is it mockery???? We all know shivaay deserve the both…….sold film fare. …..
Need correction … Salman lost the award to srk for ddlj in 1995 not for karan arun …
Salman khan ki best performance tere naam movie mein thi saare critics ne salman khan ko 4/5 star diye aur uske bawjood Filmfare award nyi mila isse bada fake show toh kahin nyi hai… I hate it
I always impressed by Filmfare awards
SRK funny jokes and others actors milky
funs I think these award are not fake
feels the emotions of the winners
I would say Post Lagaan the credibility of the awards went downhill FAST…!
Before this millennium you couldnt argue much about who won in the previous 40 odd years barring afew exceptions but thats more down to individual preference….!
Nowadays performances in crappy films that no audience saw get awarded when imo an actors job is to bring in the audience not critics…!
@3:05pm
Those girls in Dangal wrestled n man o man they did a grrr8 job… they deserve the award n once Little Babita suplexes your skinng skeleton you will also agree with their worthy WIN…!
@2:44pm aNIPOONma
Stop your bakwaas you jobless kritik as we all know there are some 244cr examples of your predictions going AWOL so I wouldnt be celebrating too much just bcoz you got 1 or 2 right…!
Happy Aamir won n Nitesh ji too…!
Best film deffo DANGAL… cant believe ppl still think crappy films that noone saw or will remember deserved to win BEST FILM Award over Dangal…!
i cant blv srk had got award fr dil to pagal hai nd hritik fr dhoom 2. both films were worst mve. it means jury r bias nd illiterate
@11:12am
You nut… How can you say Aamirs performance in Dangal was not grrr888…?
Look at his physical transformation from 1 Mahavir to the other n you will see noone could have done that. Other performances by other actors were good but nowhere near Aamir…!
@11:49am
Lol
“sitting in 1 place for 6 hours for makeup…”
Hahaha
You tool our dadaji Pluto Boy has to do the same routine every single day for every single film…! He needs that much time in order for his 1234 makeup artists to cover up his wrinkly koyla face…!
LOL
@11:54am Peasant abhishek
Abey Rascala what Tiger says about our dadaji Pluto Boy is the truth, the whole truth n nothing but the truth…!
Lol at those believe that our Dadajis performance in Phankha was more deserving than Aamirs…?
What was so impressive about a dadaji chasing his own shadow or running away from his own shadow in Phankha…? Nothing thats what
@tiger-the real chuha,you’re right golden kela till now highest time gotten by our Bhojpuri deshdrohi (yakub,dawood’s wife) bhabijaan.and this time no surprise if his mahacrapfest lultan will get one award,rofl.
@dadaji navin,no rascala ,our fatso oldie buddhau(r-a-k-h-a-i-l of dawood) must have to got the most prestigious title golden kela/ghanta for the sake of Bhojpuri and for the sake of your Bhojpuri peasants and he’ll definitely achieve it and have faith on him,he never disappointed. and that’s what is the ULTIMATE TRUTH,ROFL.
@sky,though I don’t care about your existence here.please don’t make laugh everyone by begging a joker performance like pk was looking like a kid Infront of HAIDER.and really Dangal is much more serious as well far better movie than RELEGIOUS TARGETED movie.he deserved it and got It.and you moron,FAN PERFORMANCE is immortal,put it in your mind.and SWADES is controversial you dimwit? Can’t you think before what you write?anyways KING KHAN won for SWADES.
@ navina aunt, Abe idiot go to your own country Pakistan along with your Jupiter boy.yes SRK deserves best actor award more than your intolerant khan. deshdrohi ke fan !!
@sky hey fool 90% of people believe srk in fan was better than everyone !! most of the comments are saying this only !! even indicine said the same thing !! if u ask aamir even he will say srk was better than him in acting !! although there is no doubt that dangal was a better film !! even after this if u dont give srk credit for what he deserves then u r just an ignorant pathetic fool !! get a life hater!! aur maarne ki baat tu mat kar srk ne aamir ki aisi maari thi ki usne award function attend karna band kar diya pata hai kyu?
kyuki use chair pe baithna padta
@srkamirfan bro i just said the truth !!
@Rishabh 90% of people, really? Not even .9% population of India watched the fan, forget about thinking that Srk deserve for fan. What stupidity going on social media is no where close to reality. I still thinking about what was special in fan performance, an half baked movie with brilliant first half and hamming acting in second half. Its only wish of srk fans that at least he should win for Fan. Srk was not even in top 3 performance of the year for me forget even to be best.
@sss complan boy we don’t even care of your chameleon attitude, if PK was cartoonish performance than I don’t even need to give name to Srk performance of fan. PK>>>Gaurav Chandana any day, any time and even on box office it was one man show and We all know where PK stands and where Fan.
Moral:- Aamir don’t even care about the awards now, srk fans and other fan bases are fighting for those sitty awards which are nothing but the collective perception of 5-7 jury members.
Case closed.
Aamir’s performance in dangal is much better and award worthy than real tingu khan aka srk.
This time chance of Akshay to win for Airlift, Srk do cheat moves & let Aamir win this time. Srk career is in danger now & he is most afraid of Hrithik & Akshay so he decided fo evil move of taking Salman & Amir in his group, thats why Aamir win, why not Aamir was won in previous awards. In short muslims always unite to beat hindus but Salman & Aamir still good by heart & not know chaal of evil Srk.
aamir deserved it 100%, srk fans need to educate that two different films and 2 different characters had to be acted differently, srk impressed me a lot in fan but so did aamir as the stern disciplined father.
@sky-the complan boy,as usual you moron will never get any sense.shoe you sigle proof which can show me as a chameleon.I knew you can’t.
I’m not comparing pk with FAN.compare it with HAIDER,oops sorry I think you masala film watchers wouldn’t have watch HAIDER.so don’t be sorry.
And btw if you really don’t care about award,you shouldn’t be here.-his single fact shows how much big chamleon you’re.
I don’t care about awards.still I’ll some and cry for an undeserving performance.because this is my logic and such stupid I’m, isn’t it Mr.complan boy?
If only BOX OFFICE is the criteria for for measuring a performance.then I can say alien pk performance is even better than CWADES,CDI and Lagaan,ha ha ha ha.tehre is no difference between Bhojpuri bhaitards and you illogical pathetic self trolled morons,rofl.
@nikhil,ha ha ha ha.
KING SRK’S career is over —-this line had been saying by KING SRK’S countless agreed from the 90’s.still HE kicked haters and still is kicking
Still HE reserved CHRISTMAS 2018,and aamir+YRF stayed out of it.auakt Hoti hain bête,apni weak time pe bhi wo BEST OPENING deta hain and can reserve BIG HOLIDAYS.and ONE MORE UNIVERSAL SCRIPT MOVIE HE needed to never THE BIGGEST STAR IF INDIAN CINEMA.after HE’LL continue to kick other KHAN’S just like what HE did in last 2 DECADES.
@ankit Verma,
aamir’s height—–5’4”
KING KHAN’S height—-5’10’.
Still KING KHAN is tingu is just like saying,FAN did 380CR and Dangal did 80cr.ha ha ha ha.btw I don’t hate aamir anymore due to some of my friends who’re aamir here.and don’t ever try to force me to do that again.
@Farhad,that’s not two different character.that’s one character with two different ages.and as per who needs education is,KING KHAN’S ACTING was much more intense,powerful and emotional comlared to powerful act of Aamir Khan.ACTING wise KING KHAN leads and overallwise considering are work+goodness/value of the film,aamir Khan leads.and WE’RE not regretting of Aamir Khan got the award.so stay happy and enjoy your time rather than criticising and ignore all
@sss first of all you moron FYI aamir’s height is 5’6″ and srk’s height is 5’7″ so srk is only 1 inch taller than aamir. And i called srk tingu only becuase of that gatarchaap @rishabh who blabbered bullshit about Aamir with 3 back to back retarded comments thats why i replied to him.
