The Filmfare Critics Award for Best Film is awarded during annual Filmfare Awards, given by the Filmfare magazine. These are the oldest and most prominent film awards given for Hindi films in India, having started in 1954. Movie awards were first given by popular vote. Many complained that films with commercial appeal rather than artistic merit were being recognised, hence a new award category was added, the Best Film (Critics). Mani Kaul has a record four wins in this category, followed by three wins each for Shoojit Sircar and Kumar Shahani.
Rajnigandha, Black and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara are the only films to win both Best Film (Critics) and Best Film.
