Initially there were no nominations for the Awards and the Awards were given in five categories. That is why only five Awards were given in the 1st Filmfare Awards under five categories i.e. Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Music.

However, the numbers of awards were increased from 5 to 7 by dividing Best Actor and Best Category in two subcategories Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, respectively. Technical Awards were also given for Best Sound.
