The 64th Filmfare Awards were held at Jio Gardens in Mumbai, on March 23, 2019.
GUWAHATI: Filmfare on Monday announced that Filmfare Awards 2020 would be held here in February. Assam Tourism Development Corporation and Word Wide Media, a part of the Times Group, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the event.

The agreement signing ceremony was attended by Bennett, Coleman and Company Limited managing director Vineet Jain and Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal.

This is first time in six decades that Filmfare’s annual awards ceremony will be held outside Mumbai.



Announcing that the Black Lady will travel to Assam this year, Jain said: “Signing this MoU today is a historic milestone and on February 15, 2020, we will organise the 65th edition of the awards in this beautiful city of Guwahati. Cinema is not new to Assam.”

Sonowal said: “Cinema has always been playing the role of a catalyst in integrating different sections of the society and it can greatly help Assam to become the gateway to South East Asia taking advantage of Act East Policy.”
