Finally, for the main event on Sunday 24th June 2018, hosts Karan Johar and Riteish Deshmukh brought laughs, banter and even some Bhangra to the stage as they revealed the winners of IIFA 2018.

The big winners included Tumhari Sulu which won ‘Best Film’.

The Vidya Balan film against the likes of Bareilly Ki Barfi, Hindi Medium, Newton and Akshay Kumar’s Toilet – Ek Prem Katha.

Interestingly, the Rajkummar Rao starrer Newton took home ‘Best Story’ for writer and filmmaker Amit V Masurkar. While Irrfan Khan deservingly won the award for ‘Best Actor’ his stellar performance in Hindi Medium.

The late Sridevi was awarded a posthumous trophy for her incredible role in Mom. Husband, Boney Kapoor received the award, sharing some fond and heartfelt memories of the cinematic icon.

Aside from the big wins of the night, guests were treated to an array of showstopping dance performances.

While a cheeky Varun Dhawan excited the crowd with his Judwa 2 moves, the crowd went wild for Ranbir Kapoor in his rockstar avatar, who descended from the ceiling with an electric guitar, sunglasses and leather jacket.

The Sanju star danced to some of his big hits, including ‘Balam Pichkari’ and more.

The evening also saw the stars pair up for even fiercer performances. Celebrating the success of Race 3, Bobby Deol danced with none other than Iulia Vantur in a memorable spectacle.

Notably, Bobby also welcomed his return to the big screen by taking guests down memory lane with some of his biggest film hits.

Also joining hands were Kriti Sanon and Arjun Kapoor who have spent the last few days sharing their rehearsal progress on Instagram.

But perhaps the main event of the night was the return of Rekha on stage after 20 years.

The veteran actress brought full Umrao Jaan vibes to the prestigious gathering with her traditional Indian attire.

And the eternal beauty proved why she remains a superstar of Indian cinema, with her faultless Kathak-style dances to ‘Salaam-e-Ishq’ and ‘Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya’.
