7Oth Filmfare Awards emerges as debatable issue
The Filmfare Awards has once again emerged as a debatable issue. This year’s winners list had generated controversy as fans questioned several choices. Some awards felt fair, others didn’t — and many felt deserving names were left out altogether.
While Laapataa Ladies ruled the 70th Filmfare Awards with 13 wins, there were mixed reactions grew mixed when Alia Bhatt, Abhishek Bachchan, and Kartik Aaryan walked away with top honours. Among them, Alia Bhatt drew the sharpest criticism.
Her Best Actress win for Jigra didn’t go down well with many. The film proved a debatable issue at the box office, and fans often pointed out issues with its writing and story. They felt her win ignored stronger performances in the same category.
Kriti Sanon’s role as Sifra in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya and Yami Gautam’s turn as Zooni Haksar in Article 370 were widely praised. Kriti’s subtle performance as an AI robot showing human emotions impressed many, while Yami’s intensity left a strong mark.
In comparison, Alia’s win felt unearned to a large section of fans. Yet, some defended her, saying her portrayal of a devoted sister in Jigra was layered and emotional. She balanced vulnerability with strength and handled action sequences with surprising conviction.
Still, frustration remains. Alia now holds the record for the most Filmfare Awards won by any actress, surpassing Kajol and Nutan. It also marked her third consecutive win — after Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani and Gangubai Kathiawadi.
Many fans feel this streak shows bias from the jury, while others argue she simply outperformed her peers. Either way, the backlash online has turned intense. Despite the noise, Alia’s commitment and effort in Jigra deserve acknowledgment.
While some feel it Alia’s most deserving win, others look.upon it as industry favoritism
