Movies and music share the relation of a body and its soul. A Bollywood movie is considered incomplete without music. For a movie to be successful, it is very essential for it to have the perfect blend of sensible story, convincing performance and good music. 'Filmfare Best Music Director Award' seeks to honor those individuals who endow a movie with mesmerizing music. This category of award also includes the composers and arrangers, who infuse life into a movie with their creativity and melodious music. The award is given by the Filmfare magazine, as part of its annual Filmfare Awards ceremony, held in Mumbai since 1953. Here is a list of the music directors who have been declared as the winners of 'Filmfare Best Music Director Award', since the past few years.
