Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje won 4 awards, thus becoming the most-awarded film at the ceremony.

While most of the nominated films were released in 1956, the films which won most of the main awards were 1955 releases. Devdas, Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje, Seema and Shree 420 were 1955 films but were not considered for the 3rd Filmfare Awards.

For the first time in the history of the Filmfare Awards, did a winner refused to accept their award - Vyjayanthimala, who won Best Supporting Actress for Devdas, declined her award as she thought that her role was not supporting and was equally important as that film's other female lead, Suchitra Sen, who was nominated for Best Actress.
