The critic’ award for the best film went to the superlative film, Newton. Rajkumar Rao won the critics’ award for the best actor for Trapped, while Zaira Wasim won the critics’ award for the best female actor for Secret Superstar. The highly acclaimed, wryly funny Death in the Gunj won best debut director award for Konkona Sen Sharma.
This award appears to be something of an afterthought; at least the recipient of the award thought so. When yesteryears star Mala Sinha was given the Lifetime Achievement award, she recalled how she had never won a Filmfare during her heyday and that the awards don’t really mean anything.
