Hrithik Roshan arrived in the Hindi Film Industry with a bang. He made his debut with Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai directed by his father Rakesh Roshan in the year 2000 and movie was a grand success. It has been a remarkable decade for Hrithik where he got to essay all sort of characters with elan and authenticity. He has performed a variety of characters right from a lover boy to a historical character in Jodhaa Akbar. A multi-talented actor, he has kept improving himself one film after another. His dance moves are talk of the country and most of those steps are almost gravity defying. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to admit, his dance moves redefined the word dance in bollywood. Kaho Na Pyaar hai broke many box office records and collected huge number of awards for him.

His real journey began after that when he performed a diverse essay of characters. His acts in Fiza and Mission Kashmir are still talked about where he was more of a performer rather than a star. He also played a supporting role in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum to stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan. His choice of roles has truly been amazing. In between he had a mild slump with releases like Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon, Na Tum Jano Na Hum, Yaadein, Aap Mujhe Acche Lagne Lage etc but he soon came back with a vengeance with his movie Koi Mil Gaya. It was typically a sci-fi movie that won many awards and huge commercial success as well.

Since then, it has continued to be a purple patch for him where he has chosen his movies very wisely and performed with utmost dedication. His next Lakshya was favoured by one and all. Dhoom-2 took his career to a new high and he clearly overshadowed his colleagues with this movie. His last release was Jodha Akbar and needless to say, it was a huge hit as well. Going by his upcoming projects and selection of themes, Hrithik is sure to enthral us in coming decade as well.

Looking back at this year, bollywood will not be very happy with its performance. Some of the big budget, big names flopped miserably at the box office. At the same time, some movies came out of nowhere and registered good business. Quite unexpectedly, some movies despite having a nice story and wonderful production failed to excite the audiences. Well, you never know what might work at box office. Talking about some of the misses of the year, bollywood had high expectations from Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Chandni Chowk To China’ but movie proved to be a damp squib. Akshay was on a roll after the success of Welcome, Singh is Kingg and others but that did not help the cause either.

It was also Akshay Kumar’s first release of the year and needless to say, Chandni Chowk To China was a disaster at the box office. The story had no innovation and humour was quite cheap. Critics thrashed the movie left, right and centre and over-expectation and under-delivery factor sealed its fate

Yash Raj banners poor run at box office continued this year. Dil Bole Haddipa was an eagerly awaited film starring a fresh pair of Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherji who was coming on screen after a long time. Movie is also said to be a copy of Hollywood film ‘She is the man’. Its long since we last saw a clear winner from Yash Raj’s stable.

Ashutosh Gowariker has earned a huge reputation for himself after making some of the best movies in this decade the likes of which include, Lagaan, Swadesh and Jodha-Akbar. Naturally, aam junta and critics alike had pinned high hopes from his latest release ‘What’s Your Raashee?’ but movie bombed at box office. People rejected it out rightly. Viewrs could not handle its length and tiring chemistry of 12 rashees. The absence of crackling chemistry between lead pair of Priyanka Chopra and Harmaan Baweja also didn’t help the cause.

Bollywood has a penchant of throwing new stars. Apart from new talents who have come from unknown places, there are some star sons also who have proved their mettle. If this decade saw emergence of Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan and Vivek Oberoi then Ranbir Kapoor is not far behind. The lad is on a roll what with his movies earning not only critical success but also commercial success. This year saw his 3 movies, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Wake Up Sid and Rocket Singh doing great business at box office. His acting prowess is also earning appreciation from every quarter. Many film critics are wondering whether next decade is going to be his. Ranbir is doing great service to his surname that has given us wonderful actors across the generations.

Credit goes to Ranbir for selection of his movies. Right from the time when he made his debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Sawaria, he had this knack of choosing films of different genre. His next movie, Bachna Ae Haseeno saw him in a role of Casanova wooing three leading ladies. This year 2009, has truly proved to be a milestone for him. Wake Up Sid, a story about a confused youth managed to strike instant chord with youth cine goers. The success of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is entirely of his doing. He single-handedly stole the show. Using his humour, spontaneous acting and quick wit his character Prem had viewers rolling on floors. 

His upcoming movies include Anjaana Anjaani and much talked about Rajniti directed by Prakash Jha. Going by the buzz in the town, he is further going to establish his position as new bankable star after these movies. Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh must be very proud parents of Ranbir Kapoor.
