Top 5 films of 2009 ?

Okay, now that 2009 is over, which film do you think was the best out of the lot ? I think 2009 gave us some of the most remarkable films of the last 2-3 years, my list would be:

I agree with a lot of what you said. Here are my top 5:

1. Kaminey: This is one of the best films I've seen coming out of Bollywood in a while. I loved the mad-cap energy, the quirky characters and the performance of the entire cast. Its a film I've watched multiple times now and every time I discover something new.

2. Dev D: The film completely turned the original novel upside down and gave such interesting twists to the principal characters of Paro, Dev and Chanda. Mahie and Kalki were both fabulous.

3. Luck By Chance: I think this was the year of great ensemble performances and that is one of the things I loved about LBC. It is a such a subtle, humourous but at the same time poignant take on the industry.

4. Love Aaj Kal: I loved the low-key romance of the present story and yeah the story had a few hiccups but I can ignore that for seeing a refreshing take on relationships in cinema. Same reason I like Dev D.

5. Gulaal: The second half of the film kind of starts slipping and all the vignettes never quite come together to make a satisfying whole, but its still one of the most engaging and interesing films I have seen this year. Also has some of the most splendid performances I've seen in a while.

I do not find kaminey on my list becoz of the actors...they look highly umimpressive especially Shahid Kapoor who hamped throughout the movie...this man cum little boy has to go a long way...better luck next time..but i dont have any doubts on vishal's direction. he is a great director. i luved omkara...but this didn't impress me

Human Torch ji, great list. 👍🏼

I would also add Rocket Singh, Wanted and All the best to the list. And I'd get my list, in no particular order, of course. 😆

I agree about Kaminey, it was very mediocre.

i havent seen RS but i have heard its a great film...i will surely watch it....thanks atleast someone is there who thinks kaminey wasn't th good....

1. gulaal all the way for me- The movie just blew me away... so powerful. Best actor in 2009- Abhimanyu Singh, its a shame that the media have not done their bit in promoting his talent.

2. 3 Idiots- For wholesome entertainment- been a while since i saw a commercial movie without having to cringe or walking out mid-way. It restored my faith in commercial cinema

3. Kaminey- Loved the madness. Thanks to VB for giving us Chandan & Amole

4. Dev D- Anurag made me love the story I loved to hate

5. WUS/ LAK

I totally agree with you about Abhimanyu Singh. I was pleasantly surprised to see him nominated at Screen. He'll probably be ignored everywhere else.

I wish that UTV had also picked up Gulaal instead of Zee and then maybe with adequate promotions the film would have had a shot.

top 5 movies in my opinion are the following and the order does not matter to me...they r all equal to me!

Kaminey, Wake up sid, 3 idiots, PAA, love aaj kal, and dil bole haddipa!! although i liked rocket singh but it was an average movie! but i enjoyed watching it!

1- NEWYORK : Amazing work by every one!!!! John Kat looked smokingly hot!!!

2- Love Aaj Kal

3- Havnt seen 3 Idiots as yet but i bet i'll like it, so i'll keep 3rd position for it!

I dont hav any other to list, 2009 was the worst year in movies for me! Newyork saved me from death!!!!!

Dev D, Love Aaj Kal, Kaminey.

Those were the only good movies this year.
