The 66th Vimal Elaichi Filmfare Awards 2021 took place honouring the best in cinematic excellence of 2020. From Amitabh Bachchan to the late great Irrfan Khan and more, check out the full winners list here!

Despite the pandemic and lockdowns, Bollywood released several noteworthy films in 2020. The award function took place at Filmcity in Mumbai and was broadcast on April 11. The audience was able to catch their favourite celebrity performances along with exclusive video-on-demand, the red-carpet action, behind-the-stage fun, performance rehearsals, and more on Facebook and Instagram.

Speaking about Filmfare and Facebook’s association, Deepak Lamba, CEO, Worldwide Media, said, “We are glad to offer today’s digital-first audiences a view of the FIlmfare Awards in an interactive and engaging format through Facebook and Instagram. This longstanding partnership sets the stage for the global fans to come together and get an exclusive view of the performances and accolades that headlined this year’s award ceremony. Following the mandated safety precautions, we shot the performances and held the ceremony behind closed doors, in a safe and private environment.”

Irrfan Khan, who passed away last year, earned a posthumous award for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Male) category for his work in Angrezi Medium. Amitabh Bachchan bagged the Best Actor Critics Award for Gulabo Sitabo. Taapsee Pannu and Tilottama Shome were honoured with the Filmfare Award for Best Actress (Popular) and Filmfare Award for Best Actress (Critics) for their roles in Thappad and Sir respectively.

Stars even performed during the Filmfare Awards ceremony. Hrithik Roshan did a take on “Ek Pal Ka Jeena: and “Jai Jai Shivshankar”. Nora Fatehi set the stage on fire with her performances while Sara Ali Khan had everyone grooving with her song “Love Aaj Kal.”
