Filmfare Awards: Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh end up big winners

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt took the term 'power couple' to a new level, hogging the coveted Best Actor and Best Actress trophies at the 64th Filmfare awards night in Mumbai on Saturday 23 March.

Kapoor's performance in the Sanjay Dutt biopic Sanju (2018) earned him the award, while Bhatt won it for her performance in Meghna Gulzar's Raazi (2018).

Ranveer Singh and Ayushmann Khurrana were the joint winners of the Critics' award for Best Actor for Padmaavat (2018) and Andhadhun (2018), respectively.

The Critics award for Best Actor (Female) went to the favourite, Neena Gupta, for her performance in Amit Ravindernath Sharma's Badhaai Ho (2018). This is Gupta's first Filmfare award. 

Raazi also proved to be the big winner on the night with Meghna Gulzar taking home the trophy for Best Director and the film being crowned Best Film of the year. 

Sriram Raghavan's Andhadhun was the Critics' choice for Best Film. Andhadhun also took home the Best Editing award for Pooja Ladha Surti and Best Screenplay for Sriram Raghavan, Arijit Biswas, Pooja Ladha Surti, Yogesh Chandekar, and Hemanth Rao.

Sara Ali Khan's impressive year was capped by her winning the Best Debut (Female) for Kedarnath (2018) while Ishaan Khatter was the corresponding male choice for the Majid Majidi film, Beyond The Clouds (2018). 

Amit Ravindernath Sharma's Badhaai Ho might have lost out on the main awards, but it still took a fair share of the awards for supporting cast. Gajraj Rao shared the Best Supporting Actor (Male) trophy for his breakthrough performance with Vicky Kaushal in Sanju (2018) while veteran Surekha Sikri's grumpy old woman act from the same film won her the Best Supporting Actor (Female) trophy. 

Badhaai Ho also won the Best Dialogue award for Akshat Ghildial.

The award for Best Debut Director went to Amar Kaushik for the horror comedy, Stree (2018). 

The music awards also followed the cue as the popular awards section, with Raazi's 'Ae Watan' winning the trophy for Best Lyrics (Gulzar) and Best Singer Male (Arijit Singh). 

Shreya Ghoshal took home the black lady for her rendition of 'Ghoomar' from Padmaavat (2018). The film also won Sanjay Leela Bhansali the trophy for Best Music Album. 

While the year's most unexpected success, Tumbbad, missed out on the critics' awards, it took home the trophy for Best Sound Design (Kunal Sharma), Best Production Design (Nitin Zihani Chaudhary, Rajesh Yadav) and Best Cinematography (Pankaj Kumar). 

The event also honoured the late Sridevi with the Lifetime Achievement award.
