Talk:Filmfare Award for Best Actress

message: Why do we have an identical table both here and in the supporting actress article? That causes maintenance issues. And why do we have to combine BA and BSA wins and nominations here and there as well? Now we have other editors trying to add in best villain, etc. all the time. I think the same issues exist on the male actor side as well. I think we should simplify things and go with just the wins and nominations in the given category only. Comments?

replies: text: Initially it used to have only the relevant category, but a few months ago an anon added the other category as well, which is clearly designed after the tables appearing on pages related to the Academy Awards. If you had asked me about this three months ago, I might have been in agreement with you, but today I personally am not categorically against this version because it makes clear who the overall record holder is. For instance, Jaya Bachchan won three Best Actress awards (which is not a particularly remarkable feat in this category) but she also won the Best Supporting Actress award thrice, which makes her overall the most awarded actress in the major acting categories, which I think is rather noteworthy here as well. The major awards at any award function are Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, particularly nowadays because the other categories have been officially withdrawn. If people add it, then they can be reverted, and a discussion can be made here so that we have something to cite. Shahid • Talk2me 23:16, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well alright, since it's mimicking the Academy Awards format, I am okay with it. That also provides precedent for allowing 'Best' and 'Best Supporting' awards only. BollyJeff || talk 23:51, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Best supporting actress info doesn't belong here

message: There seems to be a bit of a confusion over which film Vyjayathimala won the award for. I made a reasearch on that a month or so ago and I'm pretty sure she got it for  Sadhna. 
Basically, there are two sources which say it's Madhumati:
*The official indiatimes site 
*Bollywood Hungama
According to IMDb, however, it is Sadhna.
I thought we should go with the official site, but then see what I found on my research:
*The official site (Filmfare magazine, for that matter) wrote in a recent article: "Madhumati did not win any major acting award and managed its impressive tally of awards through technical wins." (the article lists all the 9 awards Madhumati won) 
*Another Filmfare article, which actually documents the function, says: "Vyjayathimala finally made peace and happily accepted the Best Actress trophy (Sadhna, 1958)."
*A Rediff review of Madhumati saya she won it for Sadhna.
*The ultra-credible book Encyclopaedia of Hindi Cinema, published by Britannica, also says it's Sadhna in an entry about the actress.
*The 1983 Times of India directory says Sadhna too!
Most importantly, Madhumati has always been known for its 9-award record, which, combined with so many reliable sources saying she won for Sadhna, makes me strongly believe she actually did get it for Sadhna and not Madhumati. I think it is all the result of a confusion which happened because Madhumati today is one of her most celebrated films, more than Sadhna, which she most probably won the award for.

thread_title:  Sadhna vs Madhumati 

message: Someone keeps adding that Rani Mukerji has the highest number of Filmfare Awards in history, which is totally incorrect. The calculation of records on this page is based only on Best Actress and Supporting Actress awards, which are the two main acting honours. The critics awards are a separate section altogether and that's where other records have been set, else many others would have been here as well. For one, Jaya Bachchan also has two special awards for Uphaar and Hazaar Churasi Ki Maa. Would that make her the most awarded? No! The number of awards an actor has won can be mentioned on the actor's page, that's it. Shahid • Talk2me 19:49, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
