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
