I have a query for the gurus. What's the difference between regular filters and smart filters.

Smart filters are editable.

Supplementing what @IamSam already posted.
A Smart Filter is a Filter that is applied to a Smart Object which then makes it editable. Here are some more features to and here is Adobe's helpx page on the matter:

@IamSam @thebestcpu So smart filters are similar to smart objects and we can create the stuff non-districtively, right?

That is correct. Filters when part of a Smart Object are names Smart Filters and has all the features for non destructive editing (plus some other feathers as well such as per filter blending mode and opacity setting.
