Why Big Superstars Gave The Filmfare Award A Miss
Filmfare awards always been the biggest award for Hindi film industry since 1950’s. But over the last decade or so, many new awards i.e. Screen awards, IFFA Awards joined the bandwagon. In last 10-15 years, Filmfare has started loosing its sheen.
This year’s 69th Filmfare Awards were marred by absence of some of the biggest superstars. Shah Rukh didn’t attend the award ceremony despite delivering biggest of blockbusters and rewriting history in 2023. He has been darling of award show especially of Filmfare over three decades. Interestingly SRK has won maximum number 8 awards) of Best Actor awards in history. Interestingly he was nominated for two films for best actor award this year but neither he won any award nor his three blockbusters bagged any major award.
Akshay Kumar gave critically acclaimed films like OMG 2 and Mission Raniganj. Even his production OMG 2 won awards but he failed to turn up for the awards. Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone didn’t turn up for the awards despite Deepika delivered big guest of the hits Pathaan and Jawan. Salman Khan usually turns up for such awards but even he gave it a miss.
Sunny Deol gave one of the biggest blockbusters Gadar 2 but neither his film was nominated for single award nor anyone from the film turned up for the event. Vicky Kaushal got snub for probably the best performance of the year in Sam Bahadur and on contrary was awarded best supporting actor for Dunki.
None of these actors needed validation from Filmfare Awards and on contrary, it’s a snub by these superstars which made award ceremony a damp squib.
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt won awards and did attend the award show.

Pan India footfalls for Pathaan + Jawan + Dunki = 10cr+”

Best film of 2023 as per audience: Jawan
Best cinematography of 2023 as per audience: Jawan
Best dialogues: Pathaan/Jawan
Best lyrics: Chal Ve Watna from Dunki
But FILMFARE RIGGED knows better than aam janti 🤡”
