History

The awards were first conceived in 1953. Readers of Filmfare magazine were polled to decide the winners, and over 20,000 readers spread throughout India participated in the polls; trophies were given to winners of the popular vote. In the first awards function, held on 21st March 1954, only five awards were presented – for the best film , the best director, the best actor, the best actress, and the best music director. Do Bigha Zameen was the first movie to win the award for the best film. The first four winners for other categoroes were: Bimal Roy for direction of Do Bigha Zameen, Dilip Kumar for his performance in Daag, Meena Kumari for her performance in Baiju Bawra, and Naushad for his music in Baiju Bawara.

Of late, the awards have been criticized for favoring certain popular performers and film makers over more deserving winners. The Yash Johar/Yash Chopra syle of romantic dramas contained no cinematic value and were awarded the most prestigious Filmfare awards simply on the basis of popular demand. In fact the Filmfare awards have become a farce of late and most people pay greater attention the officially recognized National Awards.
