This year's Filmfare was special because the event happened LIVE in front of a cheering audience after two years. The grandest stage of Indian Cinema showcased spectacular performances by the gorgeous divas like Pooja Hegde Mrunal Thakur, Krithi Shetty, Saniya Iyappan, and Aindrita Ray who made the audience groove on the beats. They were the top entertainers of the night as Pooja Hegde had the audience hooked with her dance moves to some of the popular hits like ‘Gudilo Badilo', ‘Andha Arabi', ‘ButtaBomma' and more. The prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award for this year was bestowed on Allu Aravind. His wife took this opportunity to praise him for the first time on stage as he dedicated the award to his father who completed 100 years of age. The Awards also honoured the beloved star of Kannada cinema, the late Puneeth Rajkumar with the Lifetime Achievement Award posthumously. Coincidentally, it happened to be his death anniversary.

The entire team of ‘Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1' cheered in joy when the film received the Best Film Award Telugu. For his mind-blowing performance in this action movie, Allu Arjun came out as the winner under the Best Actor (Male) Telugu category.
