Top 10 Bollywood Movies of 2011

As the year closes in, Bollywood experienced a good change and some good hits through the year. The movies that were close to real life were widely accepted, so was the remakes of South movies. We had the option of viewing more 3D action and Sci-Fi Thrillers, all in all it was a treat. IANS has tried to compile the best movies that made the a good gross collection.

1. Bodyguard : Salman Khan starrer Bodyguard is regarded as the top hit of the year with collecting over Rs. 22 crore on the first day of its release. The movie was a remake of South Indian Movie (Malayalam Movie - Bodyguard). The songs and action of Sallu was much appreciated. The movie also went as the debut of Prakash Raj to bollywood, whose performance in negative role was much praised.

2. Ra.One : The sci-fi thriller from Shah Rukh Khan was winning the race with an out of the world visual effects and action which did match a Hollywood movie. The story was weak but the promotion tactics by King Khan made it up and made people move into theatres. The song 'Chammak Challo' is still the most in-demand party number, sung by Akon.

3. The Dirty Picture: The movie that is ruled by the sensuous performances and acting talents of Vidya Balan, the movie is a treat to watch and has a firm story line to support. The sexy avtar of Vidya Balan still remains the USP of the movie. The movie tried to portray the on-screen life of south actress 'Silk Smitha'. 

The movie remained the only one which did work at box office without a 'Khan' tag.

4. Ready: Another Salman Khan hit movie, which is the remake of south Indian movie (Telugu Movie - Ready) worked wonders for Salman Khan and Asin Thottumkal. The romance between the stars were much appreciated and the drama by Anees Bazmee was added spice with the exotic shooting locations at Thailand.

5. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara - ZNMD - the multi starrer worked wonders onscreen as it was literally a trip to exotic locations of Spain. The story of friendship and bachelorship also worked great, and to some extend it did add a realistic feel to the movie. Beautiful performances by the talented cast - Hrtihik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, with Kalki Koechlin and Katrina Kaif as their love interests, added more spice to the movie.

Kudos to director Zoya Akhtar for bringing liveliness, happiness and joyfulness with such deftness on screen through an adventurous road film mostly based in Spain.

6. Singham : Ajay Devgan starrer was an instant hit with the masses. The movie is again a remake of south Indian movie ( Tamil Movie - Singham ) which had rewritten the hit charts in south. Rohit Shetty had further spiced up the action sequences which was boosted up by the genuine actor Ajay Devgan. This movie also happened to be the debut for Kajal Agarwal into bollywood. Prakash Raj was playing the villain in this movie.

7. Rockstar: Another great hit from Ranbir Kapoor, his dedication to the movie helped the actor conquer the mass audience. His role was critically applauded and the music still makes the youth rock. The actor portrayed the real life of a Rockstar. A R Rahman's tunes were widely accepted and so was the singing of Mohit Chauhan.

The movie marked the debut of Pakistani model, Nargis Fakhri to bollywood.

8. Mere Brother Ki Dulhan - The movie did not have much to say as a hit but some hidden factor does seem to have worked. The much appreciated pairing of Imran Khan with Katrina Kaif remained the USP for the movie. Ali Zaffar, the pakistani Singer actor and the hero for Tere Bin Laden, was also appreciated for his role. 

9. "Delhi Belly": Replete with cuss words, weird situations, witty dialogues, the experimental movie in the English language targeted the urban audiences, who hailed this free will adult comedy as they identified with the characters of Imran Khan, Kunal Roy Kapoor and Vir Das in the movie. If director Abhinay Deo faced failure with "Game", this film pulled him out of darkness and Aamir Khan once again proved that he has a knack for choosing the best scripts as a producer.

10. "Yamla Pagla Deewana": After the 2007 release "Apne", the Deol trio - Sunny, Bobby and Dharmendra - returned to the big screen with the comic caper "Yamla Pagla Deewana" by director Sameer Karnik. Though a small budget film, it received an overwhelming response. The impeccable comic timing between the father and sons struck a chord with the audiences.

Katrina Bring 'Dhunki'

The trendsetter is back! 

The question was if Sheila Ki Jawani was the biggest variety cameo ever done in bollywood and the answer is broken by the very heroine who jeweled the Item song ' Sheila Ki Jawani '. Yes, Katrina is back with Dhunki the son from Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.

The song reflects the typical youth attitude and the rock star looks of Katrina Kaif. The song reveals her wilder side with beedi drinking attitude and a big Jazz guitar to add to the look. She might some moments remind us of Sona Mohapatra, but that kept aside this is a hit in the making. She just doesn't stop there, there is this unique set of accessories, the white t-shirt, the tatoo and more.

The song is on a situation where she holds a concert at Delhi University without legal permissions. The overall picturization rocks with the band being accompanied by the group of youngsters. This is sure to rock the stages and will surely be a tough competition to Sheila ki Jawani!

The news also mentions that as soon as Katrina was around the shooting location in Delhi, the crowd just rushed in and within few minutes there were thousands of people waving and trying hard to catch a glimpse of their favorite actress. Finally she had to bring in police escorts to make her way out. 

Thats how India Loves her! The very own barbie Doll!

Imran to pay tribute to Salman Khan!

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan - Imran to Salman?

No, we are sorry there wont be a party or a session of long speeches by Imran Khan for paying tribute to the star but there has been a unknowing(may be known) effect of Salman Khan in his upcoming movie "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" according to the reports, there does seem to be a full fledged homage paid to Salman Khan in the movie, be it the dialogues or be it the dance moves, there is all known Sallu shtyle!!

Imran Khan is rising up immediately after the block buster movie 'Delhi Belly', the next post for this actor will be the role of a brother drastically searching bhabhi, finally falls in love with the girl who she finds for his brother. It has been a treated subject. To add to the Sallu effect, there will be Katrina Kaif pairing opposite Imran Khan and she is in most of these scenes which reminds her of her ex-boyfriend!

The trailer of the movie is quite promising and we expect an overall entertainer there.

It is also mentioned as a technique by Yash Raj Films to make their next hero happy, Salman Khan will be doing the Yash Raj's 'Ek Tha Tiger' opposite Katrina Kaif. It is mentioned that in midst of all these tribute scenes, Katrina was extremely cool and was game for the dialogues which reminded her of Salman Khan.

Further, Salman Khan is all happy with Imran and has been praising Delhi Belly from the release date and this might work equally. But we loved the trailer and we hope it makes a great movie. Here is the trailer of "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan".
