The 70th Hyundai Filmfare Awards 2025 with Gujarat Tourism took place tonight, October 11, at the grand EKA Arena in Ahmedabad. It was an evening filled with heartfelt moments, power-packed performances, and dazzling red-carpet looks. But the true magic of the night lay in a beautiful tribute, Filmfare honoured legendary artists from 5 decades, celebrating their everlasting impact on Indian cinema.
