Year in Bollywood so far

This year has been pretty good for Bollywood so far, though not as good as last year, which produced 3 movies that entered my all time Top 10.

On the minus side, this year has only one Shahrukh Khan movie (the dream-like Paheli) unlike last year which was, IMO, the best SRK year on record, considering he appeared in the utterly wrenching emotional love story Veer-Zaara which became my favorite BW movie of all time, hard-hitting and art house Swades (which if there is any justice would be India's candidate for the Oscar), and the pure fun masala Main Hoon Na.

On the plus side, so far this year, we've had a movie starring the elusive Aamir Khan (after a four year absence), another Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie (Black, which is Number 1 on my list of movies I must see), and Saif Ali Khan in his best performance to date in a movie that is also added to my Top 10, Parineeta.

I have yet to see a really bad Bolly flick this year, but then I stayed away from such "masterpieces" as Kaal.

So, here's my ranking of the Bollywood movies I've seen this year.
