  Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki and Muqaddar Ka Sikandar led the ceremony with 9 nominations each, followed by Satyam Shivam Sundaram and Trishul with 6 nominations and Don with 5 nominations.
  Don and Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki won 3 awards each, thus becoming the most-awarded films at the ceremony.
  The ceremony was also notable as Nutan became the first actress in the history of Indian Cinema to win the Best Actress 5 times, breaking the record held by Meena Kumari for 13 years. She was nominated for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress for Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki, winning the former. Her niece Kajol matched her record 32 years later, at the 55th Filmfare Awards with her 5th win for My Name Is Khan.
