Celebrating 70 glorious years of cinematic excellence, the 2025 edition of the Filmfare Awards was not only an ode to contemporary cinema but also a nostalgic journey through India’s film history. The prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Zeenat Aman and Shyam Benegal for their remarkable contributions to Hindi cinema.

Adding to the evening’s splendour, a special segment titled ‘Cine Icon Awards’ paid homage to the legends who shaped Indian cinema through the decades. The tribute spanned from icons like Bimal Roy, Dilip Kumar, and Meena Kumari of the 1950s, to Nutan from the 1960s; Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and Ramesh Sippy from the 1970s; Sridevi from the 1980s; and Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Karan Johar representing the golden era of the 1990s.

One of the most talked-about highlights of the night was the heartwarming reunion of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, who recreated some of their most beloved on-screen moments from ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’, and ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. Their unmatched chemistry lit up the stage, taking audiences on a trip down memory lane.

The night also witnessed powerhouse performances from some of Bollywood’s biggest stars.
