Rajkummar won the best actor (critics) award for his hard-hitting performance in survival drama 'Trapped'
 "Filmfare Awards 2018: From Irrfan to Vidya Balan, complete list of winners")
Bollywood star Irrfan Khan took home the best actor trophy for his realistic and effective portrayal of a middle-class father in Hindi Medium, while romantic-comedy Bareilly ki Barfi earned other top two honours, including the best director award for Ashwiny Iyer at the 63rd Filmfare Awards.
The second award for Bareilly ki Barfi came for Rajkummar Rao in the best supporting actor category.
Held last evening in Mumbai, the prestigious award ceremony gave away the best actor (female) award to Vidya Balan for her heartwarming performance of a housewife-turned-radio jockey in Tumhari Sulu.
Vidya, while receiving her award from rekha, gave an impromptu performance.
It was not only for Irrfan but his film won in highest category - taking home the best film award. The dramedy, which marked the debut of director Saket Choudhary, was hit with the masses and the critics and became one of the first successes of Bollywood in 2017, which until then suffered a dry spell at the box office.
Much like the last year, the award ceremony more or less belonged to Rajkummar. He won the best actor (critics) award for his hard-hitting performance in survival drama Trapped. The film also won in technical categories - best editing and best sound design.
His Newton, which was selected as India's official entry for the upcoming Oscars in the best foreign film category, also received two honours - Best Film (critics) and Best Original story for its writer-director Amit V Masurkar.
Later, the actor took to Twitter to thank Filmfare for the awards bestowed on him.
Critics choice for Best Actor (female) went to teenage star Zaira Wasim for Secret Superstar. The film also earned an award in the Best Supporting Actor (female) category for Meher Vij, who played Zaira's mother.
Stepping into the world of direction, actor-filmmaker Konkona Sensharma bagged the best debut director for A Death in the Gunj. The suspense drama also won in the best costume and best cinematography categories.
The award function co-hosted by Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan saw some starstruck performances and veteran actors on stage including Bollywood's evergreen diva, Rekha as well as Bappi Lahiri. The veteran music composer was honored with Lifetime Achievement Award along with actor Mala Sinha.
