Film	Awards	Nominations	Notes
A Wednesday	0	4	This was Neeraj Pandey's first feature film as a director. He was also the scriptwriter of the film, and it was his first time as scriptwriter as well.
Bachna Ae Haseeno	0	3	Bipasha Basu got her second nomination for Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award, after her role in No Entry. However, she failed to win it both times. KK became only the third male playback singer to get multiple nominations in the Filmfare Best Male Playback Award, after Sonu Nigam and Udit Narayan, since 2000. Shilpa Rao debuted as a female playback singer with this film, and also received her first Filmfare Best Female Playback Award nomination for this film.
Dostana	0	5	This film was the directorial debut of Tarun Mansukhani. Dostana was only the second film which was produced by Karan Johar, but not directed by him, to get a nomination under the Filmfare Best Film Award category (after Kal Ho Na Ho). It was the second Karan Johar Production which did not win a single Filmfare Award, after Kaal.
Fashion	2	6	This film earned director Madhur Bhandarkar his second nomination under the Filmfare Best Director Award, after Page 3 in 2006. Priyanka Chopra won her first ever Filmfare Best Actress Award for this film. Simultaneously, Kangana Ranaut won her first ever Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for this film. Such a feat was last achieved in 2006, when Ayesha Kapoor and Rani Mukherji won the Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress Award respectively for Black.
Ghajini	2	7	This film saw the directorial debut of South Indian film-maker A R Murugadoss, who had also directed the Tamil version of this film. The Tamil version (also titled Ghajini) starred Surya Sivakumar. South India actress Asin Thottumkal debuted in Bollywood with this film, and won the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award. Incidentally, she had also starred as the female lead in the Tamil version of this film. Thus, she became the first actress to act in the same role in two films (remakes) of two different languages.
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na	3	7	A R Rahman became only the fourth music director in the history of Filmfare to win the Filmfare Best Music Director Award three times in a row, after Shankar-Jaikishan, Laxmikant Pyarelal and Nadeem Shravan.
