  • Filmfare Playback Singers wins and nominations archive

    From itsmearghasinha@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 4 04:54:05 2020
    I found a very detailed archive of the winners and nominees for the Filmfare Best Music Director category is present here at http://giitaayan.com/satish/art-316.htm

    However I couldn't find any such archive regarding both the playback singing categories. Would be immensely grateful if they were posted. I am only asking for this since I can't fully trust the Wikipedia articles, especially in case of the much older
    ceremonies. Mr. Ketan had already mentioned in the given link that he has an older copy of Filmfare which mentions all the winners and nominees in every category till 1997.

    Thanks.

    I think this should give you the information you need for the period between 1953 and 2005 - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JBbhMJK2ytnI1pVrhB3-qlyPt0FrFogf/view?usp=sharing. I had downloaded it from somewhere a few years ago and found it to be
    reliable.

    If you're interested in just the winners, you can find them here - http://myswar.co/awards

    Thank you Mr. Param. I really appreciate your help. However, I had indeed come across this pdf before, and I must mention that this one seems to have been created based on Wikipedia itself. I found this on the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/
    details/FilmfareAwards) and it was uploaded by user kailash29792 on 24 February 2016, who also happens to be a Wikipedia editor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kailash29792).

    This list also has its share of discrepancies. For example, it mentions that Anuradha Paudwal was nominated at the 35th Filmfare Awards held in 1990 for Ram Lakhan, but doesn't mention for which particular song was her work recognised (she had sung 3
    songs for the film). And yes, I am more interested with the nominees since winners have been widely documented by several writers. Even a simple Google books search provides links to free previews of many books which list the winners in various
    categories as well as for the special awards.
