The Film fare Awards are presented annually by The Times Group to honour both artistic and technical excellence of professionals in the Hindi language film industry of India. The Filmfare ceremony is one of the oldest and most prominent film events given for Hindi films in India. The awards were first introduced in 1954, the same year as the National Film Awards and were initially referred to as the Clare Awards after the editor of The Times of India, Clare Mendionca. A dual voting system was developed in 1956. Under this system, "in contrast to the National Film Awards, which are decided by a panel appointed by Indian Government, the Filmfare Awards are voted for by both the public and a committee of experts. The Filmfare Awards have been often referred to as Hindi film industry's equivalent of the Oscar.
The Filmfare awards were first introduced in 1954. The Clares was the original name of the award ceremony, named after The Times of India critic Clare Mendonca. Readers of Filmfare 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 21 March 1954 at the Metro Theater of Mumbai, only five awards were presented: Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Music Director. Do Bigha Zameen was the first movie to win the award for Best Film. The first winners for other four categories were: Bimal Roy for his 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 Bawra.

2003
Best Film - Kal Ho Naa Ho - 0% - Teen Deewarein / Munnabhai MBBS
If this is for the best popular film it must go to Munnabhai MBBS or if it is for a classic cinema it must go to Teen Deewarein?. KHNH is an old wine in a new bottle and it is a usual commercial flick and it doesn?t deserve to be titled as a Best Film at all. May be the voters don?t understand the difference between Best and Popular. In fact one can quote more cons than pros about the movie.
Best Director - Rakesh Roshan ( Koi Mil Gaya ) - 0% - Ram Gopal Varma (Bhoot)
What is so difficult is directing a remake movie. They reduce the standards of directors here by giving away the award to Rakesh Roshan, can you mention any one scene that has a directorial touch, it is all the visual effects, which made the film atleast worth a watch once, and not his direction. Atleast if the story is something original we can laud his efforts. There is no originality at all in the movie and in his direction. I feel Ram gopal varma deserves to receive this award for his excellent thriller ?Bhoot?.
He is the director who tries something different in each and every film and he extracts the best from all his cast and crew. When bollywood is going with some masala flicks with songs, dances and comedies he made a bold attempt ?Bhoot? with international standards.
Best Actor - Hrithik Roshan ( Koi Mil Gaya ) - 30% - Sanjay Dutt (Munnabhai MBBS)
I don't understand Hrithik gets all the best actor awards this year for his dumb performance in KMG. As mentioned in Hindu review, it is enough if he would have done 100% but he entirely spoiled by doing it 200%. His expressions and acting are monotonous in all the scenes and to some extent I can accept it as a nice attempt and he has tried his level best but it is not up to the level of getting ?Best Actor? award. Sanjay Dutt in Munnabhai MBBS is the sure winner this year, he has given his best performance to date in this movie, his timing sense, dialogue delivery everything is excellent which made the movie a great success. So my award goes to Sanjaybhai.
Best Actress - Preity Zinta ( Kal Ho Naa Ho ) - Urmila Matondkar (Bhoot)
First of all Best Comedy of the year is Preity getting two nominations in this category and further she gets a award for her out(of the auditorium where the show held)standing performance in KHNH. Urmila was great and far far better than Preity in Bhoot as a real housewife and also in period drama ?Pinjar?.
Best Supporting Actor- Saif Ali Khan ( Kal Ho Naa Ho )
Though it is mere an extension of his character in Dil Chahtha Hai, he is the one who steals the show amidst the boring performances of Sharukh and Preity.
Best Supporting Actress- Jaya Bachan( Kal Ho Naa Ho) - 0% - Revathi (Dhoop)
The role itself is half baked and Jaya has nothing special to offer of her caliber in that role but Revathi shines in her performance as a mother of a dead Soldier in Dhoop.
Best Performance in a comical role- Boman Irani ( Munnabhai MBBS)
Best Performance in a negative role- Feroz Khan ( Janasheen )
Best Story - Karan Johar ( Kal Ho Naa Ho) - Nagesh Kukunoor (Teen Deewarein)
It is the second worst award of the show. KHNH has the very usual triangular love story and the movie survived only because of its fresh treatment in the screenplay and as far as story is concerned it is the very oldest story of indian cinema. But if for a original plot my choice is to Nagesh Kukunoor for Teen Deewarien for a very unusual and a meaningful plot.
Best Screenplay - Rajkumar Irani and Co ( Munnabhai MBBS)
The screenplay is first rate in this movie. For comedy movies the screenplay is the major strength and it is very well written by these three people for Munnabhai MBBS.
Best Music Direction - Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy ( Kal Ho Naa Ho)
Best Play back singer (Male)- Sonu Nigam (Kal Ho Naa Ho title song)
Best Play back singer (Female)- Shreya Ghosal (Jism)
Best Lyrics- Javed Akthar
This year awards have gone to the most deserving people in music, lyrics and playback singing categories. Sonu and Shreya are unaguably the best this year.
Best Choreography - Farah khan (Maahi ve)
Though the choreo is not the best there is no any better choreo this year and hence i agree with this choice.
Best Cinematography - Anil Metha (Kal Ho Naa Ho)
Best Art Direction - Sharmishtha Roy - 30% - Pinjar (Munish sappal)
Art direction though eye catching and colorful in KHNH it is unrealistic and so my choice is Munish for Pinjar which had some realistic sets replicating the period of the plot.
Best Costume - Manish malhotra
Best Make up - Mike Contractor (Kal Ho Naa Ho)
Costumes and Makeup are the sure winners than the actors in KHNH and hence deserving.
Best Action - LOC Kargil
Atlast LOC gets an award which was ignored in almost all other award shows. Action was well exceuted in the movie and quite believable.
Best Editing - Munnabhai MBBS
Best Visual Effects - Koi Mil Gaya
