6th IIFA Awards (2005)
The 6th International Indian Film Academy Awards ceremony honoured the best films of 2004 and took place between 9–11 June 2005. The official ceremony took place on 11 June 2005, at the Amsterdam Arena, Netherlands. The weekend began with the IIFA Inaugural Press Conference at which IIFA Brand Ambassador, actor Amitabh Bachchan, officially launched the three-day extravaganza. This was followed by the IIFA World Premiere held at the centuries old Pathe Tuschinski Theatre. The film screened was Pradeep Sarkar's Parineeta. An IIFA Workshop was also held which served as a unique meeting between some prominent filmmakers from India and Dutch film professionals. Key speakers at the workshop included Karan Johar, Shabana Azmi, Javed Akhtar and Abhishek Bachchan. Other events included the FICCI-IIFA Global Business Forum and the IIFA Foundation Celebrity Cricket Match.
During the ceremony, IIFA Awards were awarded in 29 competitive categories. The ceremony was televised in India and internationally on Star Plus. Actors Fardeen Khan and Shahrukh Khan along with director Karan Johar co-hosted the ceremony. Salman Khan-Akshay Kumar-Priyanka Chopra starrer "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi" received a total of thirteen nominations out but could only manage to win five. Shahrukh Khan-Preity Zinta-Rani Mukherjee starrer "Veer Zaara" on the other hand won seven out of its nine nominations. Other multiple awards winners included "Aitraaz", "Dhoom" and "Murder" with three awards each, and "Main Hoon Na" and "Maqbool" receiving two awards each.
