Mumbai: 24 January, 2014 had been decided for 59th Filmfare Award. Tarun Rai, the CEO of Worldwide Media and publisher of Filmfare Magazine said, “It has been another astounding year for Bollywood. More than 130 films produced – films that have been huge commercial successes and have won critical acclaim. For the first time seven films have crossed the Rs 100 crore mark.”
He also said that the remarkable ensemble of movies has made it tough for the jury to select the best in every category in this centenary year of Indian cinema.
Rai said, “It will be a tough task for the Filmfare readers and jury to select the winners as we have both popular and critics’ awards. And, of course, you can look forward to a spectacular Awards night. It will be nothing like what we have done before or people have seen so far.”
The awards will be held at the Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai.
Producer-Director-Actor Farhan Akhtar had lit the lamp during the official announcement of the event.
