Rimi's Top Ten Movies Of Bollywood of 2008 :-)

Well when i have penned down my top ten of hollywood how would our own bollywood be far away:-) I had a tough time penning my bollywood top ten as much as I did during writing the top ten hollywood ...Here it comes:

1) Jodha Akbar - I wasn't really looking forward to this one initially but once the movie rolled it had me spellbound with the depth in the story and awesome cinematography. Really appreciate the detailed research that was done to put up this great work of cinema together.Hrithik and Aishwarya sizzled together as much as they did in Dhoom 2 , their chemistry together in the screen really is something to watch.Ashutosh Gowariker's direction and thorough research made this movie a masterpiece and Noone could have portrayed a better Akbar than Hrithik full marks to him for that.

2)Halla Bol - This movie brings back the glory of street plays and shows us what a strong mode of communication it could be to make our society aware of the ongoing unjust acts going on in our society and inspires us to stand up against them as the saying 'United We Stand' and it holds true to the core and we have witnessed the same in the recent past when Jesica Lal's murderer got punished. This movie is definitely very inspiring in terms of standing up agains the unjust acts.
Coming to the acting Ajay Devgan has proved his mettle and Vidya Balan too she truly is a good actress and her sincerity shows in the movie througout and Pankaj Kapur too has given a fantastic performance.Raj Kumar Santoshi the director is at his element while handling a script that demands its pound of action and strong dialogues and with this movie he gets those occasional moments and on their basis the movie is worth a watch.

3) Race - Race really lives upto its name its truly racy and has the power to keep the audience in the edges with its share of twists and turns. Both the director and music director of this movie are heavily inspired by international movies and compositions and it is but obvious in their work but the credit of putting a reasonably timepass movie and hummable and foot tapping music can not be taken away from them so this can be an interesting DVD watch for sure.

4) Shaurya - A real good hindi movie version of A Few Good Men the sensitive subject of Kashmir for once was really well handled keeping in mind the sensibilities attached to this beautiful state kudos to the director Samar Khan for the same.The performances by Rahul Bose,Javed Jaffrey,Kay Kay Menon and Deepak Dobriyal were mindblowing the others too have played their respective roles pretty well.Shaurya starts off slowly but the story really grows into you along with the great performances.

5) U,Me Aur Hum - Ajay Devgan's directorial debut was something to look forward for one important factor and that was to watch the livewire Kajol. Kajol was great in the movie as she is in all her movies her sheer presence makes this otherwise ok movie a good one.This movie for one is surely inspired by my alltime favourite romantic movie 'The Notebook' and this movie is surely a must watch for all you Kajol fans outhere :-)

6) Bhoothnath - No the movie is not scary as the title suggests infact on the contrary it is a loving, emotional family movie Mr.Amitabh Bachchan as the friendly ghost is great but they guy who stole away the show is the child actor Aman Siddique, his chemistry with Amitabh Bacchan really works and this is what makes this movie work not too forget the good performances by Juhi and my favourite SRK - The King Khan :-)

7) Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na - Writer Abbas Tyrewala's directorial debut became the surprise superhit of the year and made Aamir Khan's nephew Imran Khan the overnight sensation and gave Genelia Dsouza the fresh lease of life in the hindi film industry and Smita Patil's talented son Pratiek was the surprise package of this lighthearted movie.Music Maestro A R Rahman's music too was a key element of this movie and everyone still cant stop dancing at Pappu Can't Dance Saala or humming Kabhi Kabhi Aditi ;-) This movie did bring back the memories of good old carefree college days for sure..

8)Rock On - Rock On true to its title totally rocked the nation and took everyone by surprise.
It gave us the beautiful message of not giving up on our dreams and surely not putting any age limit to fulfil our dreams. We have one life and we should make the most of it and never let ego stop to get back to your good old friends. And the music was just awesome. Farhan Akhtar truly is master of all trades and jack of all too and not to forget the memorable performances given by Arjun Rampal,Purab Kohli ,Luke Kenny,Shahana Goswami,Prachi Desai or Koel Puri.

9) Fashion - Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion gave an insight about the fashion indusrty and must say he has handle the subject very well and bought out the best performances from Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut all the other actors played their role pretty well too and the surprise package of this movie was Mughdha Godse wow what a debut by the supermodel definitely clapworthy..

10) Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi - Well this has to be in my top ten yes for SRK and the story is good too so is SRK's performance and new girl Anushka too does a splendid job for a newcomer.Yes this movie came with less hype except for being a SRK starrer but definitely took everyone by surprise with the simple love story told so beautifully..
