Be it comedy or action, Rohit Shetty knows his game. And with Singham, Rohit was bang on with the fantastic dialogues, breathtaking car flips and the bone crushing action.
Ranbir Kapoor managed to convey his pain, frustration and simplicity to audiences with a nuanced performance in Rockstar.
All bets were on Vidya Balan, and she sailed through with such perfection that you’d think that The Dirty Picture was written with her in mind!
Deepak Dobriyal fits into his roles as snugly as can be. As R. Madhavan’s friend in Tanu Weds Manu, the actor gave one of his finest performances.
For her debut, Parineeti Chopra was very good as the blabbering teen in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl.
Aata majhi satakli! Only Prakash Raj could make a villain devious and funny at the same time.
Conniving, sexy, delusional, power hungry: Mahie Gill was all these personified in Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster.
Stand up comedian Vir Das did not disappoint with his bald, bitterly heart-broken, sarcastic act in Delhi Belly.
Writers Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar gave the three men the time of their lives in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Well, Reema sure has us on the edge of our seats for Talaash.
Yunus Sajawal deserves a round of applause for making Ajay Devgan such a swashbuckling hero in Singham.
With gems like “Kuch bhi karneka lekin Jaykant Shikre ka ego hurt nahi karne ka” and “Heroine ki zindagi is like an electric government, 5 saal tak party, usey baad support”, no wonder that Singham and The Dirty Picture got the loudest applause.
Whether it was Dhinka Chika or Character Dheela, Pritam Chakraborty and Devi Shri Prasad had us dancing to the tunes of Ready.
Sample some of Irshad Kamil’s exquisite sufi lyrics from Kun Faaya Kun in Rockstar: Tu hai mujh mein samaaya kahaan leke mujhe aaya | Main hoon tujh mein samaaya tere peeche chala aaya…
All up for Salman Khan’s pocket dance Dhinka Chika from Ready!
We all knew that Mohit Chauhan had a superb voice, but the way rocked Sadda Haq in Rockstar was thrilling!
Shreya Ghoshal’s voice was irresistibly sexy in Ooh La La from The Dirty Picture.
Vishal Bhardwaj kept his Daaaaarling happy with his sound touch to 7 Khoon Maaf.
Whether its shooting out of a running vehicle in Singham or the water fight in Bodyguard, Jai Singh Nijjar and S. Vijayan gave us the best action scenes.
Jason West gave the Don Shah Rukh Khan some of his best moves in Don 2.
First it was Salman’s collar dance, and now it’s his pocket dance. Kudos to Sumeet Dutt, Mudassar and Raju Khan for making dancing so simple with Ready.
Thank Steven Bernard for those sharp and in-your-face stunts in Singham.
Sabu Cyril and Marcus Wookey deserve extra points for the futuristic design of Ra.One.
Shah Rukh Khan wasn’t kidding when he promised us a visual treat in Ra.One.
Give us a patriotic pitch, and you’ll have us cheering for you. Singham did just that.
How many of you booked your tickets for Spain after Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara? Who knows, you might find some stallions galloping next to your car!
Was there anyone who didn’t know about Ra.One? Shah Rukh gets full marks for promoting his baby.
Ra.One once again.
While we prayed for Divyendu Sharma to grow a spine in Pyaar Ka Punchnama, his bespectacled role was the best for a newbie in 2011.
Nargis Fakhri complemented her crazy lover Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar.
Warning: If you are planning to watch Delhi Belly, do not drink anything during the film. You just might choke on it!
Ragini reminded you of her on the back of rickshaws. And considering the budget of Ragini MMS, Ekta Kapoor must be one happy person.
Tom Cruise did not disappoint in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.
