Filmfare Best Actor Awards 1954 to 2014

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 aamir desreve …!! Salman khan sansational role in tere naam wanted ..hahk..dabang …but not any single award win cant believe..!! Aamir gajni 3 idiots ..!!

  • srk buy all the awards he get or make deal with filmfare by hosting the show free everyone knew about it

  • srk has most filmfair therefore he brought them
    srk has most international honors therefore he brought them
    srk is the richest actor in india & has more money than 2nd richest actor & 3rd richest combined therefore he begged to his fans & collected all the money.

    after watching baazigar & darr i realized that there is no indian actor better than srk. granted his recent performances in hny,ce were garbage. and btw srk has current opening day record for an farah khan film. when someone gives farah khan a 200 crore grosser, that day i will admit that he has surpassed srk in popularity. a completely story less film like hny crossed 200 crore? only srk could do it even haters know that.

  • Oh my god Shahrukh Khan , Amitabh Bachchan , Salman Khan , Rajinikanth , Sachin Tendulkar , Aamir Khan are nothing infront of Michael Jackson and Michael Jackson’s numerous and untouchable accolades . Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan have won a total of 200 awards whereas Michael has been awarded 400 times (his total number of awards / accolades) . Amitabh and SRK have even lesser accolades than Madonna (Michael’s greatest competitor as a pop star) , who has received till date 300 accolades. Michael Jackson is definitely a bigger icon in USA than what Amitabh Bachchan , Sachin Tendulkar , Shahrukh Khan , Salman Khan and Rajinikanth (combined all together) are in India. Michael Jackson is definitely much more talented than any of the ” overrated ” Indian superstar be it Jackson as an entertainer , Jackson as a music composer/songwriter , Jackson as a stage performer , Jackson as the innovater of the ” modern ” dance techniques that were already developed much before Michael but Michael was the ONLY guy to popularize those dance moves in his legendary music videos. Well recognized Indian superstars in the Entertainment film Industry like : Amitabh Bachchan , Rajinikanth , Salman Khan , Shahrukh Khan are known to be more popular for their charm / screen presence than their acting talent whereas for Michael Jackson it was actually his talent (great music sense , marvellous and uncomparable dancing skills , great singing / vocal skills) that later on became his charm / style statement. Michael Jackson simply just roccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkks . A Die hard Michael Jackson and Salman Khan , Hrithik Roshan fan

  • @ navin :
    Ha ha ha … Hrithik deserved for Jodhaa Akbar – if not Hrithik , it should have been SRK for RNBDJ . And surely not Kaamir for his loud acting in Gazani !!!
    @ nipun :
    Neither did Hrithik deserve for KNPH (SRK was better in Mohabbatein) , nor for Dhoom 2 (Aamir was better in RDB) .

  • Srk don’t deserve atleast half of these awards. Baziger, kkhh, swades, cdi and mni deserves. But not for ddlj, dtph and devdas. I belive on natural acting and not on intense acting. Salman deserved for tere naam but unfortunately hrithiks koi mil gaya came on that year which was best of his carear. Also don’t agree with hrithik for dhoom 2. Amir deserved many more awards in his carear but hasn’t given hence he started to boycott award functions. In short filmfare awards are biased many times.

  • As bajrangi bhaijaan release date is coming near indicine is posting articles in which srk is winer and salman fans have nothing to say like they posted that 1st day collection article 2-3 days ago.

  • Naseeruddin Shah deserved the award for A Wednesday not Hrithik for Jodha Akbar. Salman for Dabangg and Karan Arjun, not Srk. Aamir for Pk and not Shahid. Sunny Deol for Jeet or Ghatak, not Aamir. I can go on but all I will say is Srk didn’t deserve 80% of the awards he has received.

  • If Hrithik deserved for KNPH , then surely SRK deserved for K2H2 as well .
    SRK played dual forms of a character in that film — the fizzy flamboyant Rahul of college days , and the responsible father Rahul , who lost his wife . A brilliant film with splendid characterizations !

  • @the gadha phenom
    RNDBJ LOGIC: Remove moustache, change hairstyle and your own wife won’t recognise you. LOL hahahahaa ??
    Aur iss kamaal ke logic ke liye SRK ko filmfare best actor award mile. ???
    More jokes plzz ??

  • How trust worthy Fakefare awards is gonna prove with just simple thing.
    Srk had 5 highest grosser in a year & he had best actor award in each year . though in 2004 he got for swades but if swades wasn’t there than VZ for counter. In 2007 OSO had if CDI hadn’t after all srk had double role in the film. Srk wasn’t deserving for DDlj (Aamir for Rangeela), DTPH (Anil for Virasat), KKHH (but competition wasn’t there much), CDI (Darsheel for TZP), MNIK (Salman for Dabangg/Ajay for ouatimd)
    Hrithik had 3 highest grosser in a year and he won for all times. Hr wasn’t deserving for KNPH (Srk for Mohabbatein was better) & D2 (Aamir for RDB).
    Big B for Hum ( Sanjay dutt for Saajan), Anil for beta ( Aamir for jjws)
    Sanjay for Vaastav ( Aamir for Sarfarosh),Shahid for haider( Aamir for PK) wasn’t deserving winners.

    Aamir himself got undeserving award for Raja Hindustani but I don’t know what was other choice than ( not sunny deol for ghatak, same act like ghayal,sallankhen etc).

  • Don’t worry Nipun and others who are defending Jodha Akbar from Navin..let me show this real Chameleon’s face to the entire world,he keeps us calling treacherous but lets see what he said about Jodha Akbar a year ago::

    Ok for the record heres my list but I wont bother about a top 10 or top 15 actors best performance list as we all know just the Top 5 matters so here it is.

    1- Aamir Khan- Lagaan (Rangeela was good GRANTED but as Munna I felt the role was too easy for him or maybe he made it look so comfortable but in Lagaan you can see the struggles in trying to pull of the character in every scene so it made it look that much better)
    2- Akshay Kumar- Ajnabee (the wife swap angle was unique n it needed a villainous portrayal by Akki so for me it was better than his Mohra, Hera Pheri or Dhadkan performances)
    3- Hrithik Roshan- Jodhaa Akbar- when I heard about this film being in the works I feared a Troy type movie with an ago centric Akbar type role but Hrithik was calm, cool n collective like a Russell Crowe from Gladiator- sublime performance n his best work ever- JA was Hrithiks equivalent to what MEA was for Dilip Kumar- ICONIC.
    4- Salman Khan- HAHK- for those of us young enough to remember the MPK magic from early 90s thought bhai could not give us another Prem type performance were truly mistaken as his HAHK Prem brought back those cheerful memories once again to our hearts n houses. Bhai truly rocked
    5- Srk- Not Swades n not CDI as I found both films a drag but strangely I loved his KHNH Aman performance the best. Cant say why but guess love was in the air for me in those days n the way he played that role of Aman brought a tear to my eye- truly great stuff.

    Hope you all will certify him as a chameleon dadaji after reading this!

  • indian critics ignore comedy.Leonardo di caprio almost won oscar for wolf of wall street,but akshay Kumar even did not get nominated for ff best actor for garam masala.this year is a good chance for akki though.

  • WE ALL THE PEOPLES(MAJORITY) decided KING SRK as THE WINNER OF ACTING as WELL RULER OF THE GENERATION.rest minorities please keep advise your loser stars to do better performance ,so that some day they can think might overcoming BADSHAH KHAN.

    @bade bhai,your talentless papa’s boy salman is not a actor all ,leave ROMANCE he is not fit for any genre as a non actor be it’s action,comedy whatever that totally not suited him at all.he should stop torture peoples and should retire.

    @salman fan,salamn fans shouldn’t talk about ACTING and AWARDS,because bhojpuri movies are their favourites and usually salman fans don’t use brain/HEART during watching films so nobody gonna listen to at least salman fans,lol.

    @ss,stop being chamcha of salmir you idiot.

    @talash 170cr disaster,beta KING KHAN name is enough,it’s not tingu that require big brands and raju papa,HE alone enough to make HIT movies of director like Anubhav Sinha,Farah Khan.

    @zain kazmi,Michael Jackson has no relation with this actor nor HE was an ACTOR.don’t use his name with the sadakchap untalented papa’s boy salman’s name to degrade the VALUE OF THE NAME OF THAT DANCING LEGEND,got you brainless movie watcher?????

    @ismail,give the reason,a Wednesday/jodha Akbar was far weaker perdormanve compared to KING KHAN’S performance in that year.but low grade useless movies like dabang shouldn’t deserve even a nomination,forget about winning,kindly those peoples see there naam/dabang when salman tried to cry ,it seems he was laughing at those scenes and hypocrites came here to point your finger against KING OF ACTING—-KING KHAN?????

    @nipun,please stop that hypocrisy.what you saidheadache overacting guzarish is better than MNIK’S PERFORMANCE?????blind fan even sensible hr fans are telling guzarish was overrated one,so please stop your hypocrisy.MOHABBATEIN performance was far better than knph/mission Kashmir,but I can agree MOHABBATEIN was as equal as FIZA or lesser than that which is best of hr movie I had watched till now.please stop your same repeated irritation ranting rohit craze during 2000 blah blah.every successful actor had gone through that phase. knph and 2007 due to brands like krrish,d2 was the main time of hr and the rest of his career is just disaster /average.still world says he can make big only with his papa or any brands like dhoom.and please don’t compare your hr’s performances with KING KHAN’S LEGENDARY PERFORMANCES,because by saying that you’re even insulting more of your star.even KHNH performance far better than kmg ,but still WE didn’t say anything.probably no actor is getting for masala movies but hrithik was the exception yeas we also talking about PERFORMANCE,KING KHAN is far better than your rohit in kmg in KHNH.

    Some salmir fans wrote amir for pk deserves more than SHAHID FOR HAIDER.what can we do about these brainless film watchers,those peoples requires tight slap son that they can get up from their imaginary pk’ dreams and can realise THE REALITY OF HAIDER.

  • @ Mr Thullu :
    Good job !
    Dadaji is a born-traitor , everyone should know that .
    BTW, really surprised that he praised SRK !

  • @ PK 7 cr Mars :
    The only category where aamir Khan would have won award for Gazani , is Best Overactor in a Comic role , or Best Comedian in a Romantic role , or Best Performance in a Masala role , or Best Actor in a role ‘without’ social-message , etc etc
    Sorry , there are no such categories (at least on earth , don’t know about Mars/Jupiter/Pluto etc etc) !!!

  • in an intreview akshay kumar said award organisor said him to dance in free and take the award.but akki refused and say mu dance ka paisa leta hun aap award aur kisiko de do.

  • srk got award for doing maa maa maa maa…. in whole carrier of his life. But the user here do not notice that he gave same maa maa expression in all of his movies. This is the reason when they announce the winner name he say maa maa so therefore he is given the award. Who ever agree with me give me a upvote.

  • ek baar ajay ne intreview mein bola tha agar mein award mein aau aur free mein dance karu toh award milega.but ajay cant dance.so award is given to the actor who used to dance free in every awards.

  • free mein host and dance karna sirf srk ko suit karta hai.if srk dont get an award then organisor make another category lyk best international icon,romance king etc etc and given an award to him

  • @nipun kumar u can’t see anything outside hritik. U r calling Hritik acted well in D2 because it praise by many critiks and u beleives it but same critics praised srk more then u r ignoring it. Hypocratic. I didn’t mind if he won for krish because only hr can pull out such a role with conviction
    Best performence in 2006
    Sanjay dutt – LRMB
    Amir- rdb
    Hritik- krish
    Srk – kank/don
    Salman- janeman

  • @ the phenom

    And what on “earth” was special in RNBDJ? A wife cant identify her husband after image makeover. Joddha Akhbar and Hrithik absolutely deserved it. But Desperate Aamir and srk fans can’t digest this fact!

  • @the phenomenon of course srk was deserving for his dual act if doing Taani Partner, Him hai rahi pyaar k, phir milenge chalte-2. If srk was deserving for Rnbdj over Aamir’s Ghajini, than it would be on planet name pagalpur. Right. A dumb story in which heroine didn’t recognise her husband who don’t have moustache.

  • For the year 1986 award should go to BIG B for Aakhree Raasta and 1987 to Naseeruddin Shah for Jalwa.

    The following should have won instead :

    1982 : BIG B – Namak Halaal
    1992 : Aamir Khan – JJWS
    1993 : Sanjay Dutt – Khalnayak or Jackie Shroff – Gardish
    1994 : Govinda – Raja Babu or Salman Khan – HAHK
    1995 : Aamir Khan – Rangeela or Salman Khan – Karan Arjun
    1996 : Sunny Deol – Jeet or Ghatak
    1997 : Kamal Hassan – Chachi 420
    2000 : SRK – Mohabbatein
    2001 : BIG B – Aks
    2002 : Naseeruddin Shah – Encounter
    2004 : BIG B – Khakee
    2008 : Naseeruddin Shah – A Wednesday
    2010 : Salman Khan – Dabangg
    2014 : Aamir Khan – PK

  • @the gadha phenom
    According to you PK earned 7 cr. on Mars. Teri HNY toh Earth ki most populous country me 2 cr. bhi na kama paayi . ??
    China lifetime: 1.68 crs on 5000 screens. Hahahah epic LOL ??
    #DrunkSRKtard

  • @ sky fall :
    The story was ‘dumb’ – Aditya’s fault .
    Just imagine how SRK portrayed the differences in two characters . Not only differences in moustache , but also different clothes , different ways of talking , different attitudes – the two characters were drastically different , and SRK did well .
    BTW, my reply was to @Navin dadaji !
