Filmfare Awards Bangla is the Bengali segment of the annual Filmfare Awards, presented by The Times Group to honour the artistic and cinematic excellence in Bengali. The first installment of the awards were held collectively for Bengali, Assamese and Odia films as Filmfare Awards East, in a ceremony on 29 March 2014.[1]
The award ceremony was discontinued for two consecutive years in 2015 and 2016 due to unequal representation and importance among the 3 film industries. It was again started from 2017 as Filmfare Awards Bangla and is given only to the Bengali Film Industry.[2]
