Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Comic Role

The Filmfare Best Comedian 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 comic role.

Although the awards started in 1954, awards for the best comedian category started only in 1967, and has been marked as obsolete since 2007.

Anupam Kher, with 5 awards, has most wins than any other actor, followed by Mehmood with 4, and Deven Verma and Utpal Dutt with 3 awards each.

Having won the award thrice in a row (1992–1994), Kher also holds the record for most consecutive wins in this category.

He also holds the record for maximum nominations in a single year, having received 3 out of the 5 nominations of this category in 1975 (and eventually winning for Vardaan).
