The 20th Filmfare Awards were held in 1973, awarding the films made in 1972.

Be-Imaan won 7 awards, thus becoming the most-awarded film at the ceremony.

Pran, who won Best Supporting Actor for Be-Imaan refused to accept the award, on the grounds that the Best Music award should have gone to Ghulam Mohammed for Pakeezah and not Shankar-Jaikishan for Be-Imaan.
