2006: Perhaps the best year for Bollywood & its viewers in the last 4 years.

First of all, I would like to thank Respected Sonal Ma'am, since a discussion with her in the class inspired me to write this blog. My purpose of writing this blog is not to discuss the learnings from the movies of 2006, but just to inform you about the movies released in the year 2006. And I am sure you will feel happy, may be surprised or will find it very interesting to know the kinds of good & successful(from the entertainment as well as commercial perspective) movies released in the year 2006. Also you will find it interesting or may be surprised to know the NUMBER of such movies released in this year as compared to last 4 years.

I have categorized the movies in six different categories like love story & action etc. Enjoy the analysis below.

1.Love stories:
Fanaa: Very good love story, also a very big success commercially, entertaining, very good music "Chand Sifarish jo...." how can I forget such a nice song. Though was bit slow in second half but no doubt a Super-hit movie. Hope you also liked. I watched it in famous Raj-mandir theater in Jaipur.

KANK: The other love story I am discussing is KANK, though it would be not appropriate to classify it as a love story. It is more about post marital affairs. I did't want to increase the number of categories so included it among love stories.
It was not a big success in India but earned good money overseas. I didn't like it much. In my opinion music was good but very similar to Kal ho Na ho(music).

AHISTA AHISTA: I didn't watch it, but read that it was a hit and music was superb.

GANGSTER: It was also a musical hit. I didn't watch but guess that it was a love story.




2.COMEDY: Many very good comedy movies were released in 2006. The list is

1. Other comedy movies were , Golmaal,Malamaal Weekly,Chup Chup ke, Bhagam Bhag and Apna Sapna money money.

I don't think I need to tell you about Lage raho munna bhai and phir hera pheri. I believe their names are enough to make you laugh.






3.ACTION: In this category there are three very successful movies, all three were very entertaining and full of action and super hit. These are
































4. FAMILY DRAMA: I think rather than classifying these movie as family drama I should classify them as a very good family movies. Vivah was also one of the super hits of 2006. Other is Babul, though not as successful as Vivah but had a good starcast
I watched Vivah, liked it very much but didn't watch Babul. Music of Vivah was superb!!!



5. PATRIOTIC: I believe no one can forget Rang de basanti, though Lage raho ......can also be classified as patriotic. But I found Lage raho .....more a comedy movie. Rang de basanti was super hit and was liked throughout the country.







6.DRAMA: There were few movies, released in 2006, which I would classify as a drama. These were Omkara, Taxi number 9 2 11 and Corporate(a business drama actually). All the three movies were not a big hit financially, but all were nice movies. Especially Omakara & Taxi no 9 2 11. Hat's off to Vishal Bhardwaj.

I tried my level best to keep the text maximum and pictures more so that you don't find this informative blog boring. I hope you will find it interesting when you will know the number of good movies released in the year 2006.

Also all these movies are worth watching, do watch then whenever you have time. Thanks for reading the blog. I welcome your constructive criticisms.
