Backlash Over Best Film Nominations
The nominations for the Best Film category have become a focal point of criticism. While acclaimed films like “12th Fail” and “Animal” found their place, the inclusion of “Pathaan” has raised eyebrows. Many argue that there were more deserving films overlooked, leading to skepticism regarding the credibility of the selection process.
Unusual Choices for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Male)
The lineup for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Male) has also fueled discontent. While established names like Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh make the cut, the absence of Vikrant Massey in this category perplexes many. Furthermore, the nomination of Shah Rukh Khan for two different films, “Dunki” and “Jawan,” and no nomination for Vikrant Massey adds an element of confusion and doubt.
Questionable Inclusions in Best Actor in a Leading Role (Female)
The Best Actor in a Leading Role (Female) category has its own share of surprises and controversies. Bhumi Pednekar’s nomination for “Thank You For Coming” raises eyebrows, especially when Rashmika Mandanna’s impactful performance in “Animal” is nowhere to be seen. The inclusion of Deepika Padukone for her role in “Pathaan” is deemed perplexing by some, considering the range of roles portrayed by other actresses.

The Filmfare Awards 2024 nominations have ignited a storm of criticism, raising questions about the credibility of the selection process and the choices made in various categories.
