The year that went by .... (2007)

Ok ... I can go on writing and filling pages in this blog. I can write about how this year was for me personally. I can write about what all went right and what all got screwed professionally.
I can write about the big events that took place in this year and I can of course fill pages writing about my favourite timepass viz. watching movies which is what I am going to do. The opinions presented here are not claimed to be mass opinions. Rather, they are my personal feelings, my personal lies and dislikes. So if anyone does not agree, you may be very right, still I dont care a damn!

3 movies that I loved this year

1. Jab We Met - Yes Manish, I know you will be grinning from ear to ear, but I do recognize that I had a great time watching this movie with you. Some great acting from Kareena and Shahid with a beautiful love story.

2. Saawariya - No one can beat SLB when it comes to movies, especially for me. Lovely picture that I enjoyed with my two best friends - Shounak and Manish. I will remember this movie for the scene when Sonam runs when the clock strikes twelve.

3. Guru - The last movie perhaps that I enjoyed thoroughly in hostel with Manish (although I am not sure he saw the movie till the end :-)). "Tere Bina ..." has become a personal favourite while "Mayya Mayya ...." takes me to another world.

3 movies that I hated this year

1. 1971 - I will continue cursing Pranshu till the day I die for taking me for this movie. I hated her and I hated myself for seeing that movie. I am sure Manish will agree though Himanshu will definitely have opposite opinion.

2. Khoya Khoya Chand - Maybe its the recency effect and the movie wasnt that bad but definitely not at all upto mark. The songs still made for the ultra crap direction.

3. Om Shanti Om - All hype about a piece of crap is all that I can spare for this piece of crap.

Top 3 Actors this year

1. Ranbir Kapoor for Saawariya - I found myself in his longing
2. Abhishek Bachan for Guru - His greed for success matched my ambition for the gold medal
3. Shahid Kapoor for Jab We Met - In his loss was contained his ultimate gain. I hope the same holds for me

Top 3 Actresses this year

1. Aishwarya Rai for Guru - Yes, I am partial to her and will remain so till the day I die
2. Kareena Kapoor for Jab We Met - She was lovely. Mom tells me to get someone like her from Bhatinda (Unfortunately wahaan bhi le jaayegi ye job :-( )
3. Tabu - She was damn good in Namesake and Cheeni Kum

So this was the bolly summary of 2007, the year that went by .. Hope 2008 brings with itself many more joys and many more movies, hopefully good ones :-)
