RAB NE BANA DI JODI and GHAJINI, the two major release of 2008, settles down, the awards season begins. We bring you to the list of BEST OF THE BEST that Bollywood witnessed in the year gone by.2008 has ended with the positive verdict of GHAJINI & being declared as one big hit, let's get nostalgic and have a quick round up on the things that kept Bollywood on toes through the year.
We've had two fairly high profile movies released in the past few months that have dealt with the subject of 'terrorism in the big city'. One (Mumbai Meri Jaan [Images]) was based around a real event; the other (Aamir) supposedly sprang from the imagination of a man who was surprised to learn that a very similar film existed elsewhere in the world. A Wednesday fits into this sub-genre but is greatly removed from the other two.
A WEDNESDAY clearly stands as THE most topical movie of 2008. When half a dozen movies with terrorism as its theme (MISSION ISTANBUL, CONTRACT, BLACK & WHITE etc.) were released in the year gone by, the only movie which actually spoke from the point of view of a common man was A WEDNESDAY. Director Neeraj Pandey didn't get into pseudo intellectual talks about how a terrorist is born or proposed a solution. He plain and simple raised the voice of a common man and asked a question - 'How should a man on the street react with all the bombs and bullets around him?'
