Top 10 Hindi Movies of 2007

1. Taare Zameen Par
Great acting by everybody in the movie and of course superb direction! My favorite scene was the one in which Ishaan tells his bro that he bunked school and was roaming about on the streets. Many of the scenes especially the 3X9=3 scene reminded me of Calvin and Hobbes.

2. Bheja Fry
Remake of the French movie The Dinner Game(dont remember the exact french name).Vinay Pathak all the way! Best Scene: The scene in which Vinay Pathak explains Rajat Kapoor's nympho mistress what a particular word means :).

3. Johnny Gaddar
Liked Sriram Raghavan's first movie "Ek Haseena Thi". This one is even better with its pace and unpredictability.

4. Black Friday
Hard hitting docu drama which keeps you hooked right till the end.

5. ChakDe India
Komal Chautala's haryanvi dialogues and of course Preeti Sabharwal(Sagarika Ghatge) :)

6. Jab We Met
Hate to admit this but yes loved Kareena in the movie. This movie also made me unjoin the "I hate Kareena Kapoor" community :)

7. Life in a Metro
Best part of the movie- Irfan Khan and Konkana Sen Sharma. Best Scene: Irfan Khan bursts into tears and tells Konkana what will he do if his future wife doesnt allow him to meet Konkana :)

8. Guru
Best part of the movie- Abhishek and Ash's chemistry. Somehow, Mani Ratnam always manages to get the best out of his actors. Always preferred Sush over Ash but after this movie I am not sure whom I prefer :)

9. Manorama Six Feet Under
Inspired by Roman Polanski's Chinatown.Although Abhay Deol, Raima Sen and Gul Panag have acted well in the movie it's Vinay Pathak who stands out with his awesome dialogues and "Malpuwa":)

10. Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd
Loved the characters in the movie especially Kay Kay Menon and Raima Sen. I think the super hero track was a bit too much.

Besides these movies, I also liked Eklavya, Shootout at Lokhandwala, Ek Chalis ki last local, Bhool Bhulaiya, Risk and Traffic Signal. Overall, a good year for offbeat movies.
