Flashback 2006: Top Movies

Finally a recap of the top films of the year....listing them in order

Lage Raho Munnabhai:
Probably one of the finest movies in recent times...mixed humor with social message splendidly...direction was top class so was editing...Arshad and Sanjay yet again formed a terrific duo...all the actors continued from where they left...Vidya (though she looked a bit overweight) was gorgeous...Gandhi was remembered after a long time which was evident from the percentage increases in people going to Sabarmati on 2nd october...

Rang de Basanti:
Another winner in terms of conveying the social message...this film actually invigorated Indians to raise their voice for the Jessica Lal murder case....best directorial effort of the year...cinematography was A1 so was the music....this was the best cast ensemble once has seen in a long time....each character potrayed his/her part well...Aamir as usual excelled in this film..Siddharth played his part well and was able to carry off the climax perfectly....this movie was on par with LRM...so the top position would be shared by RDB and LRM..also I was wrong about the impact of this film when I reviewed it...

Pyar ke Side effects:
Best Hinglish film of the year....Rahul was simply awesome in this film...I have seen this film atleast 6-7 times just for Rahul's performance...but I would not take the credit away from Ranvir and Mallika for giving a polished performance....Ranvir in particular was absolutely funny...he is one of the actors whose potential is untapped....some of the scenes (coffee date, scoreboard scene, dinner time confrontation) will be remembered for a long time....

Khosla ka Ghosla:
Another comic caper in the lines of PKSE...this was a perfect Delhi film...no director in Bollywood has been able to portray Delhi in the same way as done in this film..Anupam played his part well...but the hero of the film was Ranvir (once again)....if his performance in PKSE was worth 10/10 then KKG deserved 20/10....even though the basic plot of the film was a serious issue it was dealt in a very light hearted manner....Navin and Parvin also played their part well......

Omkara:
perfect adaption of Othello by Vishal Bharadwaj....this film surely will garner several music as well as critics' award...many actors like Saif, Konkona and Kareena gave their best performance in this...Langda Tyagi (played brilliantly by Saif; finest performance of the year) is simply the best villanous character played in Bollywood (even better than Gabbar, Mogambo, Shakaal)..Beedi would rank as one of the better item numbers rendered brilliantly by Sunidhi....dialogues too are award-worthy...

Dor:
Another gem of a film from Nagesh...though not on par with Hyderabad blues and Iqbal this film still was one of the best films of the year....no one expected Ayesha and Gul to act so well...Shreyas as baharupiya was funny..but I would say that Nagesh was wasted in an insignificant role.....

Films like Jaan-e-mann, Gangster, Taxi No. 9211 and Krrish complete the top 10 list.....
