One of Bollywoods biggest film awards, Filmfare Awards released its list of nominees for 2018. While most categories saw a concoction of various genres, a few disappointments or should we say shocks were also registered.

Rajkummar Raos big film and Indias official selection for the Academy Awards, Newton, was not nominated in any of the major categories like Best Film, Best Director or even Best Actor. 

Pankaj Tripathi, however, won a nomination in the Best Supporting Actor category. Other nomination for the film included Best Editing, Best Original Story, Best Dialogue and Best Cinematography.

Varun Dhawans Badrinath Ki Dulhania has been nominated in seven categories but Aamir Khans Secret Superstar still outshined it with nominations in nine categories.

When it comes to Best Actor in a Leading Role (Male), Akshay Kumar ("Toilet: Ek Prem Katha"), Ayushmann Khurrana ("Shubh Mangal Saavdhan"), Hrithik Roshan ("Kaabil"), Irrfan Khan ("Hindi Medium"), Shah Rukh Khan ("Raees") and Varun Dhawan ("Badrinath Ki Dulhania") are in the race.

The award gala will be held on January 20.
