Filmfare Flashback: When Sharmila Tagore Took Home The Black Lady for Her Role in Aradhana

by jummy84
written by jummy84

As Filmfare nears its 70th edition, we take head back to 1970, to the 17th Filmfare Awards. On 11 May 1970, Bombay (now Mumbai) saw the stars of Hindi cinema gather to celebrate films from 1969. Among the biggest winners that night was Aradhana, a romantic drama directed by Shakti Samanta.  
Aradhana was released on 7 November 1969 in Hindi. It starred Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore in lead roles. The story mixes romance, sacrifice, identity, and strong emotions. Vandana (Sharmila Tagore) falls in love with Arun (Rajesh Khanna), who is an Air Force pilot. After Arun’s death in a crash, Vandana must face stigma, raise her son against odds, even when forced to give him up. She then becomes his caretaker later in life without revealing she is his mother. Over time, the film shows her silent strength and love.  
At the 17th Filmfare Awards, Aradhana led the nominations with 9 nods. It won Best Film, and Sharmila Tagore won her first (and only) Best Actress award for her role as Vandana. Meanwhile, Rajesh Khanna was nominated for Best Actor for Aradhana, but the award went to Ashok Kumar for Aashirwad.  


Other highlights: Anokhi Raat won four Filmfare awards, including Best Screenplay and Best Dialogue. Aradhana also gained praise for its music: songs like Mere Sapno Ki Rani became iconic. The film quickly became a blockbuster, not just in India, but also in the Soviet Union. It marked the rise of Rajesh Khanna as a superstar, and it firmly established Sharmila Tagore’s status among leading actresses.  

Looking back to the 17th Filmfare Awards, Aradhana remains a landmark, not just for awards, but for stories that touch the heart. As Filmfare returns with new celebrations, it’s worth remembering how films like Aradhana shaped the legacy, melding romance, strength, music, and unforgettable performances.

About Gujarat Tourism

Gujarat shines proudly on the world map for its cultural and historic treasures. The state is home to four major UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Rani ki Vav at Patan, an intricately carved stepwell; the ancient city of Dholavira, reflecting the advanced urban planning of the Harappan civilisation; Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park; and the Historic City of Ahmedabad, honoured as India’s first World Heritage City for its living heritage, old precincts, and harmonious coexistence of cultures.

Beyond physical sites, Gujarat’s Garba dance has been recognised by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This lively community dance, performed during Navratri, brings together people from all backgrounds, echoing the state’s vibrant spirit.

But Gujarat’s story goes further. It is home to the world’s tallest statue, the Statue of Unity, a tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Its long coastline embraces sunlit beaches like Mandvi and Shivrajpur, while its forests shelter Asiatic lions in Gir National Park, wild asses in the Little Rann of Kutch, and countless migratory birds at Nal Sarovar. From the white desert of Kutch to the lush hills of Saputara, from sacred temples like Somnath and Dwarka to modern marvels like the Sabarmati Riverfront, the state offers a landscape as diverse as its history.

Filmfare Flashback: Looking Back at Dilip Kumar and Nutan’s Wins for Devdas and Seema

by jummy84
written by jummy84

As we gear up for the grand 70th edition of the Filmfare Awards in Gujarat, this is the perfect moment to look back at the glorious past of Indian cinema’s most celebrated event. Today, we turn the pages back to the 4th Filmfare Awards held in May 1957.

Two legends of Hindi cinema made history as Dilip Kumar won the Best Actor award for his unforgettable performance in Devdas, and Nutan clinched her very first Best Actress trophy for Seema (1955). This went on to become the late actress’ first of five Best Actress awards. Later, they posed together with their trophies, making it a memorable frame.

Take a look at the picture:


V Shantaram won the Best Director Award for Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje, and this film also won the Best Film award. In fact, the film swept the awards that year. AK Parmar won the award for Best Sound Design, and Kanu Desai bagged the Best Art Direction award for Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje.

Other awardees were Motilal (Best Supporting Actor; Devdas), Vyjayanthimala (Best Supporting Actress; Devdas), GG Mayekar (Best Music Director; Shree 420) and Amiya Chakravarty (Best Story; Seema), among others.



From icons like Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, and Nargis in the early years, to Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, and Rishi Kapoor, every era of Hindi cinema has left its imprint on the Filmfare stage. In more recent years, Shah Rukh Khan’s wit as a host, Salman Khan’s electrifying performances, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s elegance, Deepika Padukone’s grace, Priyanka Chopra’s energy, and Ranveer Singh’s larger-than-life stage presence have turned the awards into a spectacle of glamour and entertainment. The 70th Filmfare Awards will take place in Gujarat in October this year.

Stay tuned to Filmfare for more updates on the awards.
