Round off (Bollywood)

Here's a round-up of wat clicked for me and wat didnt ths yr in Bollywood...

5 movies tht deserved more thn they got-
1. Oye Lucky Lucky Oye! - refreshing
2. Dasvidaniya - moving
3. Mumbai Meri Jaan - poignant
4. Sorry Bhai! - interesting
5. Heroes - well-meaning concept lost in wayward direction

5 movies tht got more thn they deserved-
1. Singh Is Kinng - deplorably hideous
2. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi - pretentious
3. Fashion - mediocre
4. Golmaal Returns - puerile
5. Race - mindless mockery of the audience's intelligence

5 movies that simply ROCKED-
1. A Wednesday - brilliant
2. Rock On - awesome!
3. Bachana Ae Haseeno - delightful
4. Ghajini - style!
5. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na - breezy

5 movies that made ppl contemplate suicide-
1. Tashan - utter crap
2. Drona - ughhhh!
3. God Tussi Great H0 - WTF!
4. Love Story 2050 - OMG!
5. Kidnap - juvenile crap

Music albums of the year-
1. Rock On!
2. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
3. Jodha Akbar
4. Jannat
5. Dostana
6. Yuvvraaj
7. Bachana Ae Haseeno
8. Race

10. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Here' s hoping for a good enough, if not better, 2009...thrs AK in Three Idiots, Hrithik in Kites, Salman in 3-4 movies (again!), Farhan Akhtar in Luck By Chance, Akki in CC2C, Aby's baby in Delhi 6 and SRK in My Name Is Khan and Billu Barber to look fwd to...plus a no. of smaller, more intelligent movies tht r sure to knock us off the floor!

the no. of rehman albums in the list of best albums speaks volumes abt the kind of work he has put in this year n must be rewarded for it.
SEL were good but rehman was better!

gr8 to c the lists u've put up n i more or less agree with all ur ratings! just 1 change, the soundtrack of SIK cud replace RNBDJ in the music albums of the year.

@all: thx guys...

@harsh: SIK wud hv been thr if not for the utterly ghastly 'Bhootni Ke' and the ludicrously written 'Bas Ek Kinng' (nice beats but excruciatingly painful lyrics!)...same reason y Tashan isnt thr...Dil Dance Maare :) Sorry Bhai cud hv won a place in the 10 tho...i agree Rab Ne doesnt deserv to b thr... :D
