The nominations were announced on 13 January 2013.[1] The ceremony was held on 20 January 2013 at Yash Raj Studio, Mumbai.[2] The event was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan for the sixth time. All the Filmfare Black Lady statuettes had gold-plated bottoms to celebrate 100 years of Indian Cinema. The Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded posthumously to Yash Chopra (collected by his wife, Pamela Chopra) by Karan Johar.

Barfi! led the ceremony with 12 nominations, followed by Vicky Donor with 8 nominations and Jab Tak Hai Jaan with 7 nominations.

Barfi! won 7 awards, including Best Film, Best Actor (for Ranbir Kapoor), Best Female Debut (for Ileana D'Cruz) and Best Music Director (for Pritam), thus becoming the most-awarded film at the ceremony.
