Look Back Series: Bollywood, 2009


This year audiences in India did not know if they loved or hated Slumdog Millionaire. Critics slammed the film stating how they hated the portrayal of India in the film, while other criticized the actinjg. None the less, the film bagged 8 Oscars, including the Best Picture!
This year grabbed the media eyes as Shilpa Shetty married top notch Business tycoon Raj Kundra.
The top grossing films this year were incomparable to the number one rank, highest film gross of all times. 3 Idiots recorded a net gross of Rs. 366, 00, 00, 000. It was rated exceptional and won 4 National Awads, and in total over 200 awards from the Bollywood film fraternity at IIFA, Star dust and film fare.
Other top grossing films of 2009 were Kaminey, Love Aaj Kal, Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani, New York, Blue, De Dhana Dan, Kambakkht Ishq and Wake Up Sid.
Ranbir Kapoor became the boy toy and face of the new Bollywood and Katrina Khaif made her mark as the new Bollywood Diva.
Animaton went up a new stage with Bal Ganesh and Human Returns making new advances in terms of animated releases. These films were well received by children but majorly failed at the box office and eyes of the critics.
