Test your knowledge on India's most iconic and glamorous Bollywood film awards, celebrating the best in Hindi cinema since 1954.
The first Filmfare Awards ceremony was held on March 21, 1954, at the Metro Theatre in Mumbai, presenting only five awards to recognize excellence in Hindi cinema. Initially known as the "Clare Awards," they were named in honor of Clare Mendonca, a film critic for The Times of India. The distinctive trophy, commonly referred to as "The Black Lady," was originally designed by N.G. Pansare under the supervision of Walter Langhammer. This bronze statuette, standing approximately 46.5 cm tall and weighing around 5 kg, has since become a recognized symbol of achievement in the Indian film industry.
Since its inception by Filmfare magazine of The Times Group, the awards have evolved significantly. While the inaugural event featured a limited number of categories, they gradually expanded to encompass various aspects of filmmaking. A dual voting system, incorporating both public opinion and an expert committee, was introduced in 1956. This system helped distinguish the Filmfare Awards. Over the decades, it has remained a prominent platform celebrating artistic and technical contributions to Hindi cinema.
