The 21st Filmfare Awards were held on 11 April 1974.

Anuraag won Best Film, but fail to win any other awards, a feat which was repeated by a few films in the 1970s.

Bobby led the ceremony with 14 nominations, followed by Zanjeer with 9 nominations and Daag: A Poem of Love with 7 nominations.

Bobby won 5 awards, including Best Actor (for Rishi Kapoor), Best Actress (for Dimple Kapadia) and Best Male Playback Singer (Narendra Chanchal for "Beshak Mandir Masjid"), thus becoming the most-awarded film at the ceremony.

For the first time in the history of the Filmfare Awards, there was a tie for an acting award, when Dimple Kapadia and Jaya Bachchan tied for Best Actress for their performances in Bobby and Abhimaan respectively.

Gulzar received dual nominations for Best Director for his direction in Achanak and Koshish, but lost to Yash Chopra who won the award for Daag: A Poem of Love.

Nutan received dual nominations for Best Supporting Actress for her performances in Anuraag and Saudagar, in addition to a Best Actress nomination for Saudagar, but lost the former to Raakhee who won the award for Daag: A Poem of Love, and the latter to Dimple Kapadia and Jaya Bachchan for Bobby and Abhimaan respectively.
