Bollywood's Half-Yearly REPORT CARD - 2009

1 
A little more than half of 2009 is over, and we bring you Bollywood's performance card so far.
Let's begin with the curious case of Kambakkht Ishq. While the makers are going dizzy organising success bashes, box office reports claim the film isn't doing well.

2 
The movie winning straight A's this year is New York, one of the biggest hits thus far. It seems the John-Kat Jodi along with a terrorism angle has worked well for the audience.

3 
The most unlikely hit of the year was 99, starring  Soha Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu and Boman Irani.

4 
Yet another sleepy hit was the Farhan-Konkona starrer Luck By Chance.

 

5 
Anurag Kashyap's mesmerising take on Devdas, called Dev D was one of the biggest surprise hits of the year.

6 
Anurag Kashyap continued his successful run with Gulaal.

7 
Horror-flick 13B managed to impress audiences in India and internationally.

8
Now for the under-performers of the year. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi-6 didn't reach out to the audiences as he might have hoped.

9 
The SRK-Irrfan starrer Billu also didn't impress many.

 

10 
The first big movie of the year, Chandni Chowk to China was also the first big flop.

11 
Akshay Kumar is on a downward roll as even his 8X10 Tasveer bombed at the Box Office.
