Ranbir Kapoor Grabs Filmfare Award: SRK Fans are not Happy with the Results!
The Filmfare Awards, renowned as one of Bollywood’s oldest and most prestigious events, never fails to captivate stars and fans alike, eagerly anticipating the recognition of the industry’s finest talents. This year’s ceremony proved particularly intriguing, with many Bollywood A-listers showcasing their talents through diverse and impactful releases in 2023.
Ranbir Kapoor emerged victorious, clinching the coveted Best Actor award for his remarkable portrayal, while Alia Bhatt shone brightly as she was awarded the filmfare award as the Best Actress for RARKPK. 12th Fail, helmed by the acclaimed Vidhu Vinod Chopra, secured the prestigious Best Film title.
However, amidst the celebrations, a notable segment of Shahrukh Khan’s devoted fan base expressed disappointment, believing that the Best Actor award should have been bestowed upon the Bollywood icon for his outstanding contributions to cinema in 2023. Shahrukh Khan’s remarkable year saw the triumphant release of three blockbuster films – Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki.
Pathaan and Jawan, adrenaline-fueled entertainers, stormed the box office, amassing over 1000 crores worldwide, captivating audiences with their action-packed narratives. Meanwhile, Dunki, Shahrukh’s third offering of the year, showcased his unparalleled acting prowess, earning widespread acclaim from critics and viewers alike.

It was surprising to see that #Jawan did not get any mainstream award at the Filmfare 2024. By far this is the most liked Indian Film in recent times.

The film, anchored by Ranbir’s compelling characterization, resonated with audiences, earning praise for its nuanced storytelling and impactful narrative.
