This is a complete list of notable Hindi movies which won the Filmfare award in at least one category: Best Film, Director, Actor and Actress. A few points of note:

  • Note that not every award winner is listed below, because I did not consider some movies worthy of inclusion. (A complete list of Filmfare award winners in major categories can be found here.)
  • In the cases where there are multiple actors or actresses listed for a particular film, the award winners are indicated by an asterisk (*).
  • The award was generally given to movies released in the year immediately preceding the Filmfare award ceremony. However, there are exceptions to the rule, where the movie may have been released two years earlier (e.g., Guide). That’s why there are separate columns for the Filmfare award year (Year-F) and the year the movie was released (Year-R).
  • Although the Filmfare awards were generally given on the basis of merit (allowing some leeway for subjectivity), this was not always the case:
    • The most egregious error was Beimaan in 1973. Amazingly, it won three of the four major awards (Best Film, Director and Actor), when in my opinion it did not deserve a single one. There were many other excellent movies during that award year, such as Amar Prem, Pakeezah, Koshish and Parichay. This lends credence to the claim made by some that the award could be bought, and at least in this case you won’t get any argument from me. Enough said.

Note that the list below is sortable by each column. (Multiple levels of sorting are possible by sorting more than one column in succession, from lowest to highest.)
