32nd Filmfare Awards

The 32nd Filmfare Awards were held in 1985.

Sharaabi led the ceremony with 11 nominations, followed by Aaj Ki Awaaz and Saaransh with 7 nominations and Sohni Mahiwal and Sparsh with 5 nominations each.

Saaransh, Sohni Mahiwal and Sparsh won 3 awards each, thus becoming the most-awarded films at the ceremony.

This year, the trend backed away from Parallel Cinema as more commercial films won awards.

Shabana Azmi received dual nominations for Best Actress for her performances in Bhavna and Sparsh, winning for the former.
