Filmfare Critics Awards

The Filmfare Critics Awards are a part of the annual Filmfare Awards, which recognize excellence in Indian cinema. Unlike the popular awards chosen by public voting, the Critics Awards are decided by a panel of film critics who assess films based on artistic merit, storytelling, direction, and performances. These awards highlight innovative and critically acclaimed work that may not always achieve mainstream popularity but is appreciated for its artistic quality. They celebrate filmmaking excellence and often spotlight emerging talents or unconventional stories, adding depth and diversity to the overall recognition in Indian cinema.
