Amitabh Bhattacharya wins the Filmfare award for Best Lyrics for the film Jagga Jasoos.

Here’s a quick look at the nominations in the category:

Amitabh Bhattacharya - Galti Se Mistake (Jagga Jasoos)

A raging favourite amongst kids and adults alike, ‘Galti Se Mistake’ is the coming-of-age song that will instantly put a spring in your step.

Amitabh Bhattacharya -

Ullu Ka Pattha (Jagga Jasoos)

Amitabh Bhattacharya’s wordplay is at its best with the line - ‘Jaise Aata Hai, Chutki Me Jata Hai Dil Sau Sau Ka Chutta Hai’. The film didn’t get its due but we hope that the exquisite lyrics don’t go unacknowledged.

Arko Pravo Mukherjee-Nazm Nazm (Bareilly Ki Barfi)

Soaked in the distinctive small town charm, the song is comfortingly old-school. Arko had reportedly written the mukhdas earlier and when he bagged this romcom assignment, he penned the rest of the song.

Kausar Munir - Maana Ke Hum (Meri Pyaari Bindu)

If you seek succour in bittersweet nostalgia, you will find yourself hitting replay after listening to this song, an ode to the one that got away.

Kausar Munir -Nachdi Phira (Secret Superstar)

Raise your hand if you felt your heart swelling when Insu (Zaira Wasim) in Secret Superstar gave her own spin to this song - aspirational and uplifting.

Santanu Ghatak - Rafu

(Tumhari Sulu)

Rafu stands out for its simplicity and for evoking an effective picture of an Indian middle-class existence.
