57th Filmfare Awards (2012)

Incidentally, both of them have hosted the award ceremonies previously but with different co-hosts (Khan with Saif Ali Khan, Kapoor with Imran Khan), hence making it the first time this pair to host the show.

It was followed by Ranbir Kapoor-starrerRockstar with nine nominations, and Imran Khan-starrer Delhi Belly with seven nominations. Eventually, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara won seven awards, becoming the leading award winner for films in 2011. Ranbir Kapoor won his first Filmfare Best Actor Award and second Filmfare Best Actor(Critics) Award for his role of Janardhan/Jordan in Rockstar, while Vidya Balan won her fifth Filmfare Award and second Filmfare Best Actress Award for her portrayal of Silk/Reshma in The Dirty Picture.
