Filmfare Best Music Director Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Filmfare Best Music Director Award is given by the Filmfare magazine as part of its annual Filmfare Awards for Hindi films. This category includes composers and arrangers.
The awards were first given in 1953. Multiple winners include the duo Shankar Jaikishen (9 awards), the duo Laxmikant Pyarelal (7), A.R. Rahman (6), the duo Nadeem-Shravan (4) and R.D. Burman (3). This includes 4 times in a row for Laxmikant Pyarelal (1977/78/79/80), and 3 times in a row for Nadeem-Shravan (1990/91/92) and Shankar Jaikishen (1970/71/72).
Here is the list of the award winners and the films for which they won.
Note: The Filmfare award for Best Music Director when started in 1953, was given to a particular song and NOT the entire album. So in 1953 Naushad got the Filmfare award for Best Music Director for the song "Tu Ganga Ki Mauj" from Baiju Bawra and in 1954 S. D. Burman got the Filmfare award for Best Music Director for the song "Jaye To Jaye Kahan (Talat Mahmood version)" from Taxi Driver. From 1955 onwards Filmfare started giving the Best Music Director for the entire album. Hemant Kumar was the first to get the award for Nagin in 1955.
