The '''8th [[Filmfare Awards]]''' were held in Bombay to honor the best films in Hindi cinema in 1961.

[[K. Asif]]'s magnum opus ''[[Mughal-e-Azam]]'' led the ceremony with 7 nominations, followed by ''[[Chaudhvin Ka Chand]] ''with 6 nominations and [[Parakh (1960 film)|''Parakh'']] with 5 nominations.

''Mughal-e-Azam'', considered one of the most successful films of [[Bollywood]], was expected to steam-roll the competition, controversially went home with just 3 wins out of its 7 nominations, including [[Filmfare Award for Best Film|Best Film]], but missed out on [[Filmfare Award for Best Director|Best Director]] (K. Asif), [[Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist|Best Lyrics]] ([[Shakeel Badayuni]] for "[[Pyar Kiya To Darna Kiya]]"), Best Playback Singer ([[Lata Mangeshkar]] for "[[Pyar Kiya To Darna Kiya]]") and all the 4 acting categories. Another glaring upset was [[Naushad]]'s loss for [[Filmfare Award for Best Music Director|Best Music]] for ''Mughal-e-Azam''<nowiki/>'s epic soundtrack to [[Shankar Jaikishan|Shankar-Jaikishan]] for ''[[Dil Apna Aur Preet Parai]].''<ref>{{cite book|title=The Illustrated Weekly of India|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jUkdAQAAMAAJ|page =53|date=October 1988}}</ref>

''Chaudhvin Ka Chand'', ''Mughal-e-Azam'' and ''Parakh'' won 3 awards each, thus becoming the most-awarded films at the ceremony.
