The 59th Filmfare awards will be held Jan 24 next year. With a spectacular range of films this year, the organisers promise a completely different experience.

"It has been another astounding year for Bollywood. More than 130 films produced - films that have been huge commercial successes and have won critical acclaim. For the first time seven films have crossed the Rs.100 crore mark," said Tarun Rai, CEO, Worlwide Media - the publishers of Filmfare magazine.

The announcement was made at a press conference in the presence of actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar in Gurgaon. "I am here more as a subscriber than anything else. There's a history attached to Filmfare magazine, and there are such wonderful memories that it has given us. So I'd like to say that we'll all be there for the Idea Filmfare Awards. We'll gloat if we win one, sulk if we don't, but we'll be there," Akthar said.

The awards will be held at the Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai.
