Thank you all for making my Filmfare Injustice polls a hit last weekend😳. People were mad at SRK's multiple wins 😡and clearly rued Bhai's Dabangg loss😭. For the ladies, Kajol got many evil looks😡 for her shocking K3G victory over Tabu's National Award winning performance Chandni Bar😭

This weekend I present you the next set of polls. 😊

We have good performances each year, some years more than the other. Award ceremonies nominate actors in categories but sometimes we know it already has a clear deserving front runner (ex: Hrithik Jodhaa Akbar Roshan (2008) or Rani BLACK Mukerji (2005) or Deepika RamLeela Padukone (2013)) who will clench the trophy while others are merely space fillers. 😆

However, there are a few years, where there are many great performances across the board (higher number than average). Regardless of who won, you really feel good for the year gone by because you CONNECTED with those performances.

I am presenting you my shortlist of 5 years within the last 15 that I witnessed an unusual OVERFLOW OF NOTEWORTHY performances by Actors (leading/supporting roles).

Please take the time to scroll through the list below and for a few secs, think about the actors in these movies and how they connected with you through their work in that specific year. Then pick your final selection of THE BEST YEAR FOR ACTORS.

It's not an easy job. But I applaud you for arriving at THE FINAL DECISION.👍🏼 As always, I am open to hearing about other favorite (Paisa Vasool) years of yours and why.

And finally on Independence Day, let's be proud of the actors that are industry has who entertain us. This list is a representation of the brilliant talent diversity in Bollywood!

JAI HIND!!

I would pick 2012 and the preferential order would be:

2012
2010
2006
2001
2003

On a serious note, actors need to buck-up. Past 2012, the quality of performances across the board has become poorer. Most of them have been focused on ATBB (You know who you are...). Hopefully, the quality will swing upwards in 2016.
