LiFe is CooL

Hop on as we are heading back to 2008's bollywood carvan.If 2007 was ruled by SRK's CHAK DE INDIA and Mr. perfectionist's TAARE ZAMEEN PAR then 2008 was the year of the underdog.Now you might be thinking that 2008's big money spinners were also from the same actors but, you know for me box office success has never been a criteria for judging movies.2008 has been an exceptional year in the sense that we had competent movies in every genre.Though we had a dismal start with only fairly competent movies like RACE,JANNAT,JODHA AKBAR in the first half of the year,then first surprise came in the form of JAANE TU....and things really picked up from there.

It was a romantic comedy with lots of gimmicks and it was followed by ROCK ON!!!! that insisted that we should follow our dreams.Actors did appreciable work in both the movies but what set them apart from other movies was the manner in which they were executed.Then came A WEDNESDAY which was a blend of power packed performance by Naseerudin Shah and contrived direction from Neeraj Pandey.OYE LUCKY ....starring Abhay Deol was not a big money spinner but was one good movie and the credit for that goes to the lucky himself for his commendable performance.And who can forget Amar Kaul(Vinay Pathak) from DASVIDANIYA.

I thought of giving list of 5 HITS and PITS of 2008 but i'm glad as usual i managed to stay far away from the rotten stuff of 2008 and there are so many movies worth recommendation.So here's a list of 10 movies you shouldn't have missed in 2008-

1)JAANE TU YA JAANE NA 6)ROCK ON!!!!!

2)A WEDNESDAY 7)AAMIR

3)MUMBAI MERI JAAN 8)SHAURYA

4)DASVIDANIYA 9)WELCOME TO SAJJANPUR

5)MITHYA 10)OYE LUCKY LUCKY OYE

Rotten Stuff-LOVE STORY ,HELLO,TASHAN,KARZZZ.....(I won't waste my precious time describing them)

Now there were few underdogs who were shadowed by glitz of the stars,I take this opportunity to mention year's most indulging performances,one is given by KK Menon in SHAURYA and the other by Ranvir Shourie in MITHYA.Being so much dissapointed by these biased award shows i'm announcing my own set of awards and i take this oath that here only hard work and creativity will be acknowledged and honoured.

So please cast your precious vote and keep those comments pouring...............................
