Movies I Enjoyed in 2007

Finally I have something to write. Year will end in a short while and its time to look back upon the films I enjoyed the most, not in any specific order.

1. Guru

Positives - Terrific performances from AB Jr. and Mithunda. Good Music. Nice story. Awesome last 20 mins with AB in full form

Could be better? - Yes. If made more hard hitting, less commercial, less songs

Bottom Line - We Loved AB Jr. He showed glimses of his dad. Not Kidding

2. Chak De India

Positives - Tight Script, Crisp Direction, Terrific back ground music, SRK playing a character and not himself, Bindiya Nayak

Could be better? - I dont think so

Bottom Line - Chak de became the national anthem and will probably fetch an honest award for SRK

3. Jab We Met

Positives - Director Imtiaz Ali extracting fine performances from the lead pair, Awesome Songs, Good dialogues and Screenplay

Could be better? - Second half could have been better

Bottom Line - Sleeper hit of the year on its way to be a BlockBuster

4. Taare Zameen Pe

Positives - Fine story idea, Darsheel Safary, Good Soundtrack

Could be better? - Should have been more hard hitting, less commercial and less preachy. Should not have shown everyone as negative other than Aamir.

Bottom Line - Darsheel Safary should win the Best Actor trophy

5. Johnny Gaddar

Positives - Amazing performaces by the whole cast, Awesome Script and Direction, Cinematography and Background music

Could be better? - No Way

Bottom Line - One of the Best Thrillers to be churned out from Bollywood after a long time.

6. Bhool Bhulaiya

Positives - Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Song Hare Ram

Could be better? - Akshay should have been introduced in the first 5 mins of the movie.

Bottom Line - We Love Akki

7. Cheeni Kum

Positives - Amitji and a mind blowing Tabu

Could be better? - Second half could have been better.

Bottom Line - We absolutely Loved Tabu. She is the Best Actress of her generation

8. Aaja Nachle

Positives - MADHURI aka Mads

Could be better? - Script could have been better

Bottom Line - Even at 40 none of the new gals can match Mads

9. Bheja Fry

Positives - Novel story, Vinay Pathak

Could be better? - Screenplay could have been funnier.

Bottom Line - Vinay Pathak was discovered as a new Sensation.

10. Black Friday

Positives - Good Performances and Direction. Was really Hard hitting

Could be better? - Naah we liked it the way it was

Bottom Line - Anurag Kashyap can make some really hard hitting movie.

11. Risk

Positives - Randeep Hooda and Vinod Khanna. Direction

Could be better? - Remove Tanushree

Bottom Line - Good Movie

12. MP3 - Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar

Positives - Nice performances from the lead pair, Makes you nostalgic about your school days

Bottom Line - Trust me and Rent the dvd. You wont be disappointed

13. Om Shanti Om
