| Reviewing 2005 in Bollywood The year 2005 was loaded with a gush of films pouring one after the other. Once again the industry produced and released many films, some wrapped success while some fell in the pit. Experimental cinema surpassed the formulaic ones, many talented actors and directors were introduced and film making only got better. Films with aesthetic sense, good quality and also commercial element made the best of the box office And the best film of the year is... 2005 was flooded with many films. There were hits and misses, the best and the worst, both successful and unsuccessful ones to garner audiences attention. With the change in the trend of film making, the Indian audience is also getting more adaptive and intelligent and thus the filmmakers need to be doubly careful while choosing the subject of the film. Sex sleaze which found a big audience last year, failed to make any impact and comedy films dominated the screen all year round. Family films were welcomed warmly. Let's go back and review the 12 months to find the biggest hits! Tuned to be the best There were heavy downpour of songs this year, some hitting the charts, some managing to pull fine while other losing out. Bollywood music saw a new trend with club music dominating the scene. The composers made hay while the sun shone. Himesh Reshammiya refined the category and gave some outstanding groovy tunes with 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne', 'Aksar' and 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya'. In real sense of the term the year belonged to him as he delivered one chart buster after another In the hitlist of best actors 2005! Ruling the roost of the year is none other than Akshay Kumar. The year belonged to him and he was blessed with one hit after another. Keeping variety as his watchword we saw him delivering emotion, comedy, romance and action with aplomb. 'Waqt: The Race Against Time', 'Bewafaa' and 'Garam Masala' became his most reckoning hit of the year. Tagged 'Comedy King' and already credited as the best star of the year by a New York daily, Akshay Kumar is definitely the man of the season Actresses at the top of 2005 The year belonged to the queen Rani Mukerji. She came with one release after another and conquered the box office with her mighty performances. She was bestowed with the Midas touch of success as all her films Black, Bunty Aur Babli, Paheli, and The Rising, worked to her benefit. After Hum Tum and Veer-Zaara success seems to be her watchword More of them next year How much you may be treated with your best stars, you definitely want to get more of them. What can one do when the Bollywood stars are such addictive and flamboyant, that their charm is enough to captivate you for a lifetime. You might have gone ahead having a rocking time with them, the good news is that there will be lots more pouring in from the superstars and the sizzling actresses. So look ahead to 2006! Sex didn't sell at box office in 2005 Bollywood seemed obsessed with sex and sleaze in 2005 but the flirtation rebounded, with the dozen-odd movies of this genre fading out without a whimper. It started with actress-turned-director Pooja Bhatt's "Rog" starring Irrfan Khan and South African model Ilene Hamann. A murder mystery, the film was a mixture of sleaze and suspense.Bhatt has been pushing the envelope ever since she ventured into direction with "Paap" in 2003 and tried the same formula in her second film. Unfortunately, neither box office nor audience enjoyed watching steamy scenes on screen Good plots, costume dramas may return in 2006 The most flush-funded films of 2006 includes Nikhil Advani's "Salaam-e-Ishq". Advani's episodic film stars half the industry from Salman Khan to Govinda...But, hey, Advani's erstwhile mentor Karan Johar has, hold your breath, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta,Rani Mukherjee, Abhishek Bachchan and Arjun Rampal They looked different, didn't they! Aamir Khan after a span a four years, hit the screen in long moustache and long tresses, doubling up the interest of the viewers for the film 'Mangal Pandey'. His new look always hugged the headlines and he didn't part with it even after the film failed to click. But no sooner he converted his style looking dashing with a clean shave and unruly hair for 'Rang De Basanti'. For now catch Aamir in small crew cut hair. And man, he looks as good as ever! Bollywood stars' New Year plans A slew of Bollywood actors, filmmakers and musicians are heading for Goa to ring in the New Year. But there are exceptions like Rahul Bose who prefers to spend his time in tsunami-affected areas Looking at 2006 You must have enjoyed a galaxy of films of all variety at the box office this year! Some of the films managed to grab your attention, some made you tickle with laughter, some wipe your tears, some made you roll with fun while many left you thinking, angry and agitated for the bakwas they turned to be |
