It’s that time of year when Bollywood gets ready to honour the best cinematic accomplishments at one of India’s most esteemed award shows, the Filmfare Awards. The Times Group presents the Filmfare Awards each year to recognise the professional brilliance in both artistic and technical aspects of the Indian cinema industry. One of the first film-related events in India was the Filmfare ceremony. In 1954, the prizes were first presented.
Over the years, Hindi cinema has provided some truly extraordinary beautiful moments that will be treasured and remembered for a lifetime. By celebrating the pioneers who are reinventing Hindi cinema, Filmfare keeps building on this legacy. In the realm of Indian cinema, the opulent and esteemed Black Lady has stood for reliability and success for many years.
At the Jio World Conventional Centre in Mumbai, the 68th Hyundai Filmfare Awards 2023 with Maharashtra Tourism will take place on April 27, 2023. The occasion is anticipated to be a star-studded celebration of the top Hindi films of 2022. The Best Playback vocalist (Male) Filmfare Award honours a male playback vocalist for his exceptional work on a film song.
8 times have been given to Kishore Kumar.
Kishore Kumar refused to fit into any mould throughout his entire life and distinguished career. One of the best Indian performers, he was known for his mastery of playback singing, his ability to yodel effortlessly, and his ability to captivate an audience on stage. However, this creative talent was much more. He was an exceptional director, writer, lyricist, producer, comic, and composer of music.
He was renowned for being unexpected and for his odd behaviours and practical jokes. For the song Roop Tera Mastana, which was released in 1969, Kishore Kumar won his first Filmfare award in 1970. Anand Bakshi wrote the song, and Sachin Dev Burman created the music. Agar Tum Na Hote (1983), Manzilein Apni Jagah (1984), Dil Aisa Kisine Mera Toda (1975), O Khaike Paan Banaraswala (1978), Hazaar Rahen Mudke Dekhin (1980), Pag Ghungroo Bandh (1982), and Saagar Kinare (1985) were among the films for which he later received honours.
Six times has Mohammed Rafi received the honour.
Rafi was known for his flexibility since he sang a wide range of songs, including qawwalis, ghazals, bhajans, patriotic songs, classical songs, and songs that were both sad and happy. For almost twenty years, Rafi was the most in-demand vocalist in Hindi film. Throughout his impressive career, he received six Filmfare Awards. Chashme Buddoor (1961), Chaudhvin Ka Chand (1960), Kya Hua Tera Vaada (1977), Chahunga Main Tujhe Saanjh Savere (1964), Baharaon Phool Barsao Mere Mehboob Aaya Hai (1966), and Dil Ke Jharoke Mein Tujhko Bitha Ke (1968).
Arijit Singh has six victories.
Celebrities are one thing, but Arijit Singh goes above expectations. Any Bollywood film benefits magically from the singer’s heartfelt melody. The artist has bestowed the business with potent tunes that engage listeners more deeply. He has earned the title of Bollywood’s heartthrob since the songs convey a wide range of emotions. With the songs Phir Mohabbat from Murder 2 and Raabta from Agent Vinod, Arijit made his Bollywood debut. Both songs went on to become huge blockbusters. His fans adore his live performances, and he is known for some of the most sultry songs. Since he first began singing in Bollywood movies back in 2011, Arijit has consistently produced chart-topping songs, whether it is Tum Hi Ho, Samjhawan, Ek Dil Ek Jaan, Enna Sona, or Zaalima. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016), Tum Hi Ho (2013), Sooraj Dooba (2015), Roke Na Ruke Naina (2017), Ae Watan (2018), and Kalank (2020) are a few examples.
Kumar Sanu has won the award 5 times
Bengali-born Kumar Sanu, who was reared in a musical family, charmed audiences throughout the nation in 1990 with his honey-dipped voice on the top-charting soundtrack of Aashiqui. The performer continued to reign for ten years, becoming the voice of love, loss, and redemption. A generation of listeners found solace in Kumar Sanu’s voice during the 1990s. A few of the well-known films from the 1990s having Sanu’s music on the soundtracks include Saajan, Baazigar, 1942: A Love Story, Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Akele Hum Akele Tum, and Coolie No 1. Other well-liked films include Coolie No 1 and Akele Hum Akele Tum. Ab Tere Bin (1990), Mera Dil Bhi (1991), Sochenge Tumhe (1992), Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen (1993), and Ek Ladki Ko Dekha (1994) are among the films for which he has received awards.
Udit Narayan has won the award 5 times
Up until the 1990s, Udit Narayan was Kumar Sanu’s main rival for the title of most popular male playback vocalist in Indian cinema, which is no small achievement given that popular music is still primarily introduced to Indian audiences through films. Narayan has one of the most distinctive voices and avant-garde singing techniques in the music-driven cinema industry. For thirty years, Udit Narayan’s stunning and fervent voice has captivated listeners. His ability to sing in 32 different languages will ensure that his melodies endure for countless centuries in the hearts of all music lovers. Five different films—Papa Kehte Hain (1988), Mehndi Lagake Rakhna (1995), Pardesi Pardesi (1996), Chand Chupa Badal Mein (1999), and Mitwa (2001)—earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Playback Singer (Male).
