Filmfare's biggest flaw, or let's say fraudside, lies in the questionable category of Best Actor/Actress Critics. It seems like their workaround for awarding the actual best actor without upsetting the popular choice for Best Actor. The Best Actor Critics should ideally be for someone whose performance was appreciated but didn't translate into box office success. However, they've often handed it to actors whose films performed well but weren't the actual popular choice. In 2015/16, they gave Best Actress Critics to Kangana for an all-time blockbuster, while the Popular Choice went to Deepika for Piku. If they really want to be fair, maybe they should consider scrapping the Best Actor Critics category altogether, just like the shady Best Actor in a Negative Role category they had before.
