The gorgeous stars on the red carpet, the scintillating performances and the suspense surrounding the potential winners make this an evening to watch out for.

Speaking on the occasion, Jitesh Pillai said, “Filmfare has completed 60 years and the Indian film industry is celebrating its centenary – it’s great to be part of both these momentous occasions. Filmfare has always celebrated the best in movies through its awards and I’m sure the 60^th Idea Filmfare Awards South would also prove to be a spectacular extravaganza.”

The Filmfare Awards (South) were first held at the prestigious Kalaivanar Arangam in Chennai, shifting later to the distinctive Music Academy. Initially, only Tamil and Telugu films were considered for the awards, but Malayalam and Kannada films became part of the event in 1966 and 1969 respectively.

The Black Lady is the ultimate recognition of talent.
