Lifetime Achievement Award grabed by Pyarelal and Aruna irani. The first reciepient of this category was Amitabh Bachhan (1990). after that he did around 80 movies. He got Special award for completing 40 years in film industry in 2011. (a superstar who started his second inning after getting lifetime achievement award that is supposed to end of career)

Partho Gupte – Special Filmfare Jury Certificate – Stanley Ka Dabba- A welcome move.

Best Documentary (category removed after 1997) - Bollywood is limiting itself to feature films only and that too only commercial ones . when did last art movie you see?? the viewers who want to see art movie or documentry are few but that doesn't mean the mother of all award should also ignore it instead of taking responsibility to promote documentaries and art movies.

The Filmfare Power Award :The first award was given for the year 2003 and is given every year to those who are ranked No. 1 in the listing of the most powerful names of Bollywood. It is voted each year by the film fraternity. in 2006,7 and 8 it was bagged by Yash Chopra & Aditya Chopra. in 2008 it was removed from the list of special awards.

this shows there are very few powerful people in the industry and probably Filmfare doesn't want to give awards to same person every year.

There should be a category for Best Short Movies and best Children movie as well. there is a great need of promoting both kind of cinema.
