Barring Srk, I think this just might turn into the year the khans strike without any Akki or Hrithik getting in the way.

Salman has just made an impression with Wanted. Its doing really well! And he's gotten great reviews! He's gonna follow it up with London Dreams, which looks very promising in terms of performance by Salman, then Main Aurr Mrs Khanna, which might win him back in a sweet subtle role.

Saif gave the biggest hit this year with Love Aaj Kal, and he's set again before the year is over with Kurbaan. From what I can gather, this will be also something amazing in terms of performance content.

And then, lets not forget the Ace of Bollywood, Aamir, striking with 3 Idiots before the year is out.

It truly will be some year for these three khans. And Srk will get his share with MNIK next year. 😆

So will 2009 prove lucky for the Khans?

I dont think Kites is releasing this year though. I think it might be postponed. Otherwise, as cheesy as the movie looks, Hrithik has a good shot at hitting the bulls eye!

Kites and MNIK will battle it out next year, lol.

This year it seems mostly Salman, Saif, and Aamir, with the biggest hits.

I'm really impressed with Salman. I have to admit, I didnt think he woudl be able to come back with such a bang. Finally, he seems to be taking his career very seriously. The fact that Wanted is doing so well despite NOT BEING PROMOTED well (especially compared to the movie it released with, DBH), I mean that's impressive.

What I meant is, it still wasnt promoted as aggresively as DBH. DBH had stars going all over to so many events just talking about it. In comparison, I didnt see Salman promoting Wanted that way anywhere.

So thats why I was so surprised it did so well! Speaks volumes about the man responsible for that success, SALMAN KHAN!

I think I have a soft spot for all the Khans. (Atleast the top four anyways, lol)

Srk, Sallu, Aamir, Saif.

ADORE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF EM! Bollywood just wouldnt be the same without em! 😉

I would say this is the first movie in a long time that Salman has seriously promoted. I would see his interviews every single day in the newspapers. And he did come to Zoom talk shows and a bunch of other ones on all the news channels.

I think DBH was promoted more only on IF thanks to the Shani brigade. Otherwise, I would say they were promoted equally.

I think this is the year of good films doing well - Dev D, Kaminey, Love Aaj Kal being hits. Though there is the odd New York to piss me off.

Apart from that lets wait and see whether Kurbaan and 3 Idiots actually deliver on their pomise. 😉

I am happy with WANTED's success/

Not to take away from LAK's success but..

LAK-Had Saif-Deepika,Great music ,Saif's 1st as a producer and most important of all Imtiaz Ali who himself commands a good fan base.Plus this was his next film after JWM so the hype was much more.

Wanted-Had Salman after a bad year,Ayesha-who most people have forgotten,average music,producer Boney Kapoor with not much credibilty,a new director....

So Wanted had much more hurdles compared to the other movies..

Anyway.,I'm glad that films are doing well.
