The 34th Filmfare Awards were held in 1989, after a 2-year gap. In recent years, Filmfare has made efforts to digitize and share archival content, including posting the 1989 Filmfare Awards on YouTube.
Tezaab led the ceremony with 12 nominations, followed by Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak with 11 nominations and Khoon Bhari Maang with 7 nominations.
Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak won 8 awards, including Best Film, Best Director (for Mansoor Khan), Best Male Debut (for Aamir Khan) and Best Female Debut (for Juhi Chawla), thus becoming the most-awarded film at the ceremony and catapulted Khan and Chawla to superstardom overnight.
Tezaab was the runner-up of the ceremony with 4 awards, including Best Actor (for Anil Kapoor), also catapulted Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit to superstardom overnight. The now-iconic song "Ek Do Teen" made Dixit a dance icon and the song itself fetched 2 awards â Best Female Playback Singer (for Alka Yagnik) and Best Choreography (for Saroj Khan).
