Ten Best Hindi Movies of the Year 2007 -" My List"

You'll find a very few compilations of the best Hindi movies of the year (there were not enough good movies either) and most of those list will be done by professionals so they will rather deal with the camera angles than the 'fun' value of the movie. Here is a list compiled by a fan of Hindi cinema who never mind shelling out his 'own' money to buy movie tickets and paying up to his nose for'"popcorns' and believe me it was really tough to come out with a list of good 10 because most of the releases this year were utter trash.

Well, I would admit that this list is based on my recall capacity (what I can't even recall was surely not worth spending two hours in a theater and getting frustrated over the air conditioning). So dear Himesh Reshamiya please don't mind not to be included here because it doesn't matter to you to figure in my top 10, you can always pay some fluent writer to write for you ofcourse. Anyways here is the list.. ( In alphabetical order**) and for those who don't want to read the post here is the posters arranged in the alphabetical order..

For the inquisitive types who love to read full blogs... go on..

Aaja Nachle - Good comeback by Madhuri Dixit. Though the script and direction was nowehere near good but atleast the director and producer knew that Madhuri's best part is her dance. Thanks god they developed the movie around the same theme and gave us a reason to visit theater.

Awarapan - After a long long time the serial kisser was casted in a role of killer (it's LL and not SS) and oh boy, he can act too. Better than the others if not a good movie.

Bheja Fry - Though a rip-off from The Dinner Game but still it sends out the message loud and clear that "don't mess with a stupid person" or you will get your hands full. Well, everyone laughed their heart out and the producers laughed their way to the bank. The trivia is that this movie was not even released nationally but that didn't dampen any hopes and it slowly spread the contagious laugh all over the country.

Cheeni Kum - Light comedy. Though it dragged too long in the second half but still worth watching once. Amitabh is great in his role.

Chak de - Nice movie on sports theme and the victory of Indian football, hockey, Cricket, Kabaddi team (yeah yeah I am making this last one up) helped to the cause of this movie. It carries on the stamp of a typical Hindi movie (the captain was allowed to play only in the semi-finals to break the man to man marking and she did it with style without match practice) anyways a good retreat for the movie goers from the boring and dull releases during that period.

Guru - Perhaps will be Abhishek's best movie till long time to come. It's called to be a portrayal of great Dheerubhai Ambani's life but then the set is from some South Indian village. Have some basic flaws in the script but the music does a leveling effect. Good movie.

Jab We Met - Good comedy, for a change Kareina's overacting was tolerable as it was the demand of the story. Thumbs up.

Life in a Metro - One of the best movies of the year with literally no star power. The movie rides on the shoulders of Irrfan, Konkana, KayKay and Shilpa. But according to me the best thing about the movie was "Kangna keeping her mouth shut". He he.. nice movie.. I almost missed it out.

Namaste London - The year of star comebacks, this was marked by the comeback of Rishi Kapoor. Well he doesn't have to speak enough in the movie but yeah set into the backdrop of Punjab and London, this movie has done well to impress the crowd and ofcourse me (I don't think it will feature in lists of too many people)

Taare Zameen Par - The best of the lot and my personal favorite ofcourse. Like a typical MBA I would have bought future options on this movie for it being one of the classics in long long time. I know, it might not be nominated for an Oscar (ofcourse not, we have just sent Eklavya hahaha) it might even not get a thumbs up on box office but this is one movie which has the capability to shake a million or two people from their deep slumber. A must watch for all the parents (young or old) and for all those who aspire to become parents (that pretty much covers the whole universe right? Okay take out a majority of non Hindi speaking population. Happy now?)

Well, well well yes I am a big fan of Amir Khan and not because he is fair, have six (four may be) packs and is rich but only because he is the best. He proves it once again by acting, directing and producing this movie at the same time.

Okay, now comes the funny part. Give yourself one point for the one you have watched. If you have got six or more its good enough (lucky enough to have saved around 12 hours of your precious time). Anyways don't try too hard to make up for the lost opportunity instead feast on the best 10 from Hollywood. Below is a list of 10 Best Hollywood releases of the year. The list is meticulously done (unlike mine).. Hahaha enjoy...
