The Filmfare ceremony is one of the oldest and most prominent film events given for Bollywood films in India. The awards are first introduced in 1954, at the same year as the National Film Awards and were initially referred to as the Clare Awards after the editor of The Times of India, Famous Clare Mendionca. A dual voting system was developed in 1956.

The Filmfare Awards have been often referred as Bollywood's Oscar.
