Generally I&#8217;m scrambling around trying to pick ten films to make the cut. The end of 2012 marks my 8th year of blogging (I have faint memories of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/2005\/02\/more-movie-reviews-why-2.html\">when I began<\/a>), and I averaged about 4.5 blog mosts per month on this blog, this year (I actually did better on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/fiction\/\">my other blog<\/a>), which is fairly reasonable, considering that the year fairly flew by. I still remember last year&#8217;s New Year Party!<\/p>\n<p>This year I started the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fridaynirvana.com\/film\/category\/netflix-recommendations\">&#8220;What to Watch on Netflix&#8221;<\/a> monthly post, which is a post listing out 5 good films on Netflix with a mini-review of each of them. Given that I watch a bunch of films a month and not all are in Hindi &#8211; I watch a lot of subtitled films, these can be of varying genres and in different languages &#8211; it behooves me to point them out to you.<\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;m in a loquacious mood, I will get to the point which is to summarize the State of the Hindi Film (kind of like State of The Union, but you get me, instead of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/State_of_the_Union_address\">President Obama<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/State_of_the_Union_with_Candy_Crowley\">Candy Crowley<\/a>. Lots of good, inventive, watchable films in 2012. I&#8217;ve recounted the Best Movies of 2012 in an earlier post, but there were quite a few watchable ones that didn&#8217;t make the list.
