Filmfare Awards 2023
The coveted Best Actress (female) award went to Alia Bhatt, and the Best Film award went to her movie Gangubai Kathiawadi. Besides that, Sanjay Leela Bhansali won the Best Director award, completing the sweep. In contrast, Badhaai Do, a social comedy-drama starring Bhumi Pednekar, Rajkummar Rao, and Sheeba Chaddha, was also named the Best Film (critics’ choice).
Kartik Aaryan did not receive a prize for his hugely popular Anees Bazmee film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, but Tabu won Best Actress (critics’ choice). It came as a pleasant surprise to know that Sanjay Mishra had won Best Actor (Critics’ Choice) for his critically acclaimed film Vadh, in which he co-starred with Neena Gupta.
Brahmastra was a huge box office success, but it didn’t win any major awards. It did, however, win the award for best music album. Amitabh Bhattacharya and Arijit Singh also won awards for the film’s well-known song “Kesariya” for best lyrics and best male playback singer, respectively.
Moreover, Ankush Gedam won the best debut actor (male) award at the awards ceremony. At the same time, Andrea Kevichüsa won the best debut actor (female) award for her work in Amitabh Bachchan’s Jhund.
