Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Negative Role

The Filmfare Best Villain Award was given by Filmfare as part of its annual Filmfare Awards for Hindi films, to recognise an actor who had delivered an outstanding performance in a negative role. Although the awards started in 1954, this category was first introduced in 1992 and has been marked as obsolete since 2007.

Superlatives
Ashutosh Rana is the only actor to have won the award twice in a row, in 1998 and 1999. Amrish Puri was nominated consecutively for 3 years from 1991 to 1993. Also, Danny Denzongpa is the only actor to have been nominated twice in the same year in 1994, although he failed to win.

Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra are the only actors to have been nominated in another acting category along with the Best Villain category for the same role. Abhishek Bachchan was nominated for Best Supporting Actor as well for Yuva. Priyanka Chopra was nominated also for Best Supporting Actress for Aitraaz.

In 1997, Kajol became the first female actor to be nominated in this category and win the award for her role in Gupt. She and Priyanka Chopra (for Aitraaz) are the only female actors who won this award. Other actresses to have been nominated are Urmila Matondkar for Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya in 2001, Shabana Azmi for Makdee in 2002, Bipasha Basu for Jism in 2003, Preity Zinta for Armaan in 2003 and Amrita Singh for Kalyug in 2005.
