Yeah, “Laapataa Ladies” really did just run away with the show. But seeing Alia Bhatt, Abhishek, and Kartik snag the top acting prizes felt right. Rajkummar Rao and Pratibha Rannta picking up Critics’ wins? Pure gold. And if you haven’t caught “Kill” yet, add it to the watchlist. The technical awards don’t lie.
When Did the 70th Filmfare Awards Happened?
Honestly, there’s always a little buzz in the air before these things, isn’t there? This year, the glamour train rolled into Ahmedabad. Yep, the Filmfare Awards 2025 took place on October 11th, right at the sparkling EKA Arena next to Kankaria Lake. If you imagine twinkling lights, movie stars in all their finery, and the who ’ who of Bollywood cheering on their own, you’re picturing it just right.
Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, and Maniesh Paul took on hosting duties, SRK with his classic charm, KJo dropping juicy comments, and Maniesh, well, he’s that guy who always keeps things fun.
70th Filmfare Awards
This year, “Laapataa Ladies” made history. Not only did it snag the Best Film, but it also matched the record for most wins in a single edition, bagging a whopping 13 trophies! Remember “Gully Boy” from 2019? Same league now. Talk about a clean sweep.
But it wasn’t just about the numbers, the vibe, the moments, the cheers when a dark horse wins? That’s the stuff we Bollywood fans live for. And this year, there were a few surprises, some big wins, couple of “awws,” and yeah, a lot of good music blasting through the arena.
And now, the moment everyone cares about: the actual awards. Who won what? Who went home empty-handed, clutching only a goody bag? (Okay, that’s never a thing at Filmfare, but hey.)
