\"2007\"<\/a><\/center>
This was the year of the little known film-maker. While big banners floundered with their attempts at crowd-pleasing cinema, small-time, independent film-makers carved out the top-spots with innovative, imaginative moves. Very pleased with the outcomes, I bring to you my picks for the Top 10 films of 2007 :<\/p>\n

10. <\/strong>Taare zameen par<\/strong><\/a> : In the mood for a weepie ? A heart-tugging tale of a dyslexic little boy and an unsympathetic world, this one brings up the rear of the Top 10 count-down. Here\u2019s the full review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9. <\/strong>Honeymoon travels Pvt. Ltd<\/strong><\/a> : Reema Kagti\u2019s first directorial venture, by way of Farhan Akhtar is a tale of a bunch of honey-mooners, out celebrating. With well-etched out characters, the elements of love, drama, humor, surprise, fantasy are nicely intertwined to create a clean, fresh, and enjoyable film. Full review here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8. <\/strong>Jhoom-barabar-jhoom<\/strong><\/a> : This is your above average masala film with a twist. Shaad Ali\u2019s second attempt at film-making , this one\u2019s a little loopy, a little kitschy, and can boogie with the best. The full scoop here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7. <\/strong>Bheja Fry<\/strong><\/a> : One of the better comedies of the year, this one still takes the cake for situational (and realistic) humor. Quirky characters abound, and inflict themselves upon poor, unsuspecting souls, creating a comedy of errors you won\u2019t forget. Read the entire review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6. <\/strong>Life in a metro<\/strong><\/a> : A group of stories all inter-twined, and each one well told. An amazing starcast brings the characters to life, and a great sound-track brings home the emotion. Metro is surely the thinking man\u2019s cinema, and an engrossing film. Full review here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. <\/strong>Cheeni Kum<\/strong><\/a> : What, want more romance ? And you want it sans the juvenile inanities that make desi romances such a chore ? Well then, CK is it for you. A grown-up attitude towards amore, CK sizzles with wry wit, humor and superb acting. Love, is now, in the air. Here\u2019s the full review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. <\/strong>Jab we met<\/strong><\/a> : I like JWM so much because it\u2019s light, fluffy and melts in the mouth. Not without it\u2019s flaws, and a slightly \u201cheavy\u201d second half, this one still comes in at #4 because of it\u2019s humor, feel-good-ness and nicely done romance. The on-screen chemistry between Kareena and Shahid is a lovely bonus. Details here<\/a> .<\/p>\n

3. <\/strong>Manorama six feet under<\/strong><\/a> : Perry Mason, Poirot, move over ! Make way for our very own home-grown, small-town desi detective, Satyaveer Singh Randhawa. Not very Herculean by nature, Satyaveer\u2019s attempts to do the right thing inspite of all odds, garners the film much appreciation and the #3 slot on this countdown. Read the full review here.<\/a><\/p>\n

2. <\/strong>Johnny Gaddar<\/strong><\/a> : There are crime mysteries galore, but ever hear the one about how he got away ? An interesting, intelligent crime thriller, JG is top grade desi noir. Here\u2019s the lowdown on the film<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>Chak de India !<\/strong><\/a> : How do you like your under-dog : rare, medium or well-done ? Well-done it seems with CDI, which takes the age-old formula, infuses it with charm, and feel-good vibes to trot out the most endearing film of the year. Classy flick this one \u2013 read the full review here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
