Top 2007 movies

now its the turn to list down my fav movies of the yr in order

Taare Zameen Par: This definitely tops the list by miles....almost a flawless product from Aamir with not a single boring moment......by far the best film by a debut director (even toppling my personal fav Munnabhai from Raju Hirani and DDLJ by Adi Chopra)....each and every performance whether is Aamir, Tisca or Darsheel is award worthy....had there been any awards equivalent to oscars then darsheel would have unanimously walked away with the best actor award...but the filmfare and screen guys always have Srk in their list.....

Johnny Gaddar: wish this movie could have fared better....amongst the slickest, stylish movie ever to be produced in Bollywood....the story was gripping and so were the performances....neil mukesh was the find of the yr ahead of ranbir....this movie needs to be seen by all movie buffs...definitely shld not be missed....the background score was excellent...

Chak de India: another inspirational movie after Lagaan....amongst Shahrukh's better performances (much better than his Chopra/Johar roles).....the entire hockey team too pitched in a great performance...title song became the anthem of the country and was heard during all matches in India....direction was perfect....

Cheeni Kum: one of the better big B performances in recent times....Tabu was as usual great...after a long time big B found a good pair in Tabu....

Bheja Fry: vinay pathak deserves best comedian award for this movie...this is an example of a small budget movie clicking in a big way

Life in a Metro:Another excellent movie..Shilpa, Irfan and Konkona was superb...the entire track of Irfan and Konkona was hilarious...music is the best of this year...

Jab we met: a Kareena movie all the way..she would definitely walk away with all awards this yr...the dialogues are award worthy....shahid had a big role and the character suited him....pritam's music was amongst the best of the yr....

Om Shanti Om: biggest blockbuster till now with decent performances from SRK and Deepika...some of the dialogues will be remembered for a long time...this is the best masala movie of the yr....

Black Friday: a powerful film with powerpacked performances

Bhool Bhulaiyya: hope Vidya manages to get few awards for this film but will have a stiff competition from Kareena...a great performance from her and Akshay....one of the better Priyadarshan movies (other being Hungama and Hera pheri)...

Eklavya: among the better directed movies of the yr....performances from Amitabh, Sanjay, Jimmy, Raima and Saif were splendid..some of the scenes specially the killing of Jimmy showcase how great a director Vidhu Chopra is....

Honeymoon travel Private ltd: a light hearted sweet movie with sweet music...the pair of abhay-minnisha and raima-KK was lovable..

1:40 ki last local: another humorous movie which should have fared better...abhay as usual was adorable....

manorama six feet under: though a direct left from Chinatown this movie was watchable because of abhay's performance and indianized version of chinatown...

Blue Umbrella: another winner from Vishal Bharadwaj....the story was simple and sweet...pankaj kapoor was excellent...

some of the other movies which missed this list narrowly are
Naqaab (better thrillers of the yr)
Dus Kahaaniyan (6 of the stories were simply amazing)
Partner (excellent camaraderie between Salman and Govinda)
Guru (great performances)
Awaarapan (nice story and powerful Emraan performance)
