2006 was the most successful year in the recent past as far as the BOX-OFFICE results are concerned. It even came up with some new subjects, and thankfully, even audience showed great interest in all of them.
I am not going to list my fav films of 2006, as it would be too risky to name them. reason - KANK features there somewhere in the list [ no. I am not going to tell you at which position ]. What I am actually going to do is to revisit the biggest films of last year in terms of credibilty and making waves in the industry.
**RANG DE BASANTI
**for it served us a near perfect blend of thought provoking and entertaining cinema
for **AAMIR **’n’ **A.R.REHMAN** couldn’t have a better come-back platform.
becuase a few underdog actors united and ignited the silver screen.
**OMKARA
**because we forgot **SAIF **’n’ **KAREENA**, and experienced LANGDA TYAGI ’n’ DOLLY
for there is a vast difference between copy and interpretation
for risque dialogues don’t necessarily hamper the intriguing impact of a film.
**LAGE RAHO MUNNA BHAI
**for our nation father has a reason to smile all over again.
because it showed us TAPORIS can preach non-violence.
because some scripts have the tendency to coax tears and giggles at the same time.
**VIVAAH
**for Indian traditons are not lost yet.
because situational melody lives on through "DO ANJAANE" ’n’ "MILAN ABHI AADHA"
for **SHAHID** ’n’ **AMRITA** are no flukes.
**DHOOM 2
**because VILLAINS are more heroic, when they are played by HRITHIK.
because STYLE is the ’in-thing’ in a contemporary indian movie.
because it showed **AISHWARYA** can look hot ’n’ sensous too.
**KRRISH
**for now, children have a got an indian superhero to toy around with.
because **IIMs **give their examples for a sure-shot successful formulae.
because **RAKESH ROSHAN** doesn’t care about budgets.
**GANGSTER
**because it gave us a natural in **KANGANA RANAUT**.
for it showed us that **EMRAAN HASHMI** can act too.
because **ANURAG BAS**U is here to stay.
**KABHI ALVIDA NA KEHNA**
love it or hate it, it has been the most-talked about movie of the year. [ MS is the testimony itself ]
for **JOHAR **changed lanes from FAMILY to DIVORCE with equal elan.
because **SRK, RANI ’n’ BIG B** didn’t mind playing weak-kneed characters.
**DOR
**for it showed **AYESHA TAKIA** can be a helluva performer too.
for **NAGESH KUKONOOR** is the last word when it comes to original stories.
because BOX-OFFICE doesn’t matter much. What does is a sincere portrayal of emotions.
**some other WAVE-MAKING movies last year are :-
**
**KHOSLA KA GHOSLA
**for **HRISHIKESH MUKHERJI** lives on through DIBAKAR BANARJEE.
for **ANUPAM KHER** is still around somewhere.
**FANAAH
**because HUM TUM was no fluke
because time has not abated **KAJOL’s** charisma.
**DON
**for we got a new DON in **SRK
**for **FARHAN** did the near impossible; added style to an already cult figure in stylish films.
**CORPORATE
**because all **BIPASHA BASU** needs is capable directors to shut her critics’s mouth.
for **BHANDARKAR **will choose the riskiest of plots, and yet come up trumps.
**JAAN-E-MANN
**for **SALMAN** does take his films seriously at times.
for **ANU MALIK’s** broadway musical sequences; not to mention **GULZAR’s** contribution.
**WOH LAMHE
**for rehashing **BHATT-BABI** dimension all over again.
for** PRITAM’s** tilting score.
**PYAR KE SIDE EFFECTS**
Because brains’n’boobs, I mean, **RAHUL BOSE ’n’ MALLIKA SHERAWAT** Can prove to a deadly duo.
**BHAGAM BHAG
**for critics may be panning **PRIYADARSHAN** now, but he is laughing his way to the bank and audience’ hearts.
**MAALAMAAL WEEKLY
**for films succeed at BOX-OFFICE even with a **zero STAR CAST**, given it is directed by PRIYADARSHAN.
hope you liked my analysis.
cheers
