[[Bimal Roy]] has the record of winning most awards (7) and the distinction of winning the award thrice in a row, on 2 separate occasions (1954–1956 and 1959–1961). He also won the award whenever he was nominated (7/7). [[Yash Chopra]], [[Raj Kapoor]] and [[Sanjay Leela Bhansali]] have received the award 4 times each. [[Yash Chopra]] received 12 nominations, while [[Raj Kapoor]] and [[Sanjay Leela Bhansali]] have received 6 nominations each. [[Mahesh Bhatt]] was nominated thrice in a row (1984–1986). However, he hasn't received any award even after having been nominated 6 times. Also, no director has ever won if one has been nominated twice in the same year – [[Gulzar]] in 1974 (for [[Achanak (1973 film)|''Achanak'']] and ''[[Koshish]]''), [[Basu Chatterjee]] in 1977 (for ''[[Chhoti Si Baat]]'' and ''[[Chitchor]]'') and [[Hrishikesh Mukherjee]] in 1980 (for ''[[Gol Maal]]'' and [[Jurmana (1979 film)|''Jurmana'']]).

[[Sai Paranjpye]] was the first of 4 women to have won this award, the second being [[Zoya Akhtar]], the third being [[Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari]], and the fourth being [[Meghna Gulzar]]. [[Sai Paranjpye]] won it for ''[[Sparsh (film)|Sparsh]]'' in 1985. Paranjpye had earlier been nominated for ''[[Chashme Buddoor (1981 film)|Chashme Buddoor]]'' in 1982. [[Zoya Akhtar]] won it for ''[[Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara]]'' in 2012. [[Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari]] won it for ''[[Bareilly Ki Barfi]]'' in 2018 and [[Meghna Gulzar]] won it in for ''[[Raazi]]'' in 2019, after previously being nominated in 2016 for ''[[Talvar (film)|Talvar]]''. Akhtar won the award again for ''[[Gully Boy]]'' in 2020, thus becoming the only woman to win the award twice. Other women directors to have been nominated are [[Mira Nair]] for ''[[Salaam Bombay!]]'' in 1990, [[Farah Khan]] for ''[[Main Hoon Na]]'' in 2005 and for ''[[Om Shanti Om]]'' in 2008, and [[Gauri Shinde]] for ''[[English Vinglish]]'' in 2013.

[[Rajkumar Santoshi]] remains the only director to have won the award for his first two films - for [[Ghayal (1990 film)|''Ghayal'']] in 1991 and for ''[[Damini]]'' in 1994.

[[Nitesh Tiwari]] and [[Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari]] are the only married couple to win the award. Additionally, they won the award in consecutive years - [[Nitesh Tiwari]] won the award for ''[[Dangal (film)|Dangal]]'' in 2017 and [[Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari]] won the award for ''[[Bareilly Ki Barfi]]'' in 2018.

Only once have two siblings been nominated in the same year; [[Zoya Akhtar]] for ''Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'' and [[Farhan Akhtar]] for ''[[Don 2]]'' in 2012.
