Since its close to the end of the year, I thought of having a final look at the best and worse of films from 2003. However I must stress out that this is on all Indian films. Not just Bollywood, but also on Benagli, Punjabi, Telugu and other regional films...

Here are the lists...I will cast my vote later on...and yet again it will bring about a debate.

Vote from films released on cinema during Dec 2002 - Nov 2003, and only cast one vote per category!!

Best Movie:
Best Director
Best Actor:
Best Actress:
Best Supporting Actor:
Best Supporting Actress:
Best Story/Screenplay:
Best Film Editing:
Best Director of Photography:
Best Art Director:
Best Costume Design:
Best Make-Up:

Best Fight/Stunt Direction:
Award of Merit (Overall best Acheivement in Indian Cinema):
Best Indian DVD:

Best Fight/Stunt Direction: RUN

Best Supporting Actor: Nana in BHOOT and SHAKTI/ Madhavan in Anbeshivam.

Worse Film: Do
Worse Actor: We

Isn't this it a bit early for this? It's only mid-November! There's still stuff like Khakee, Tehzeeb and (although my expectations are low) KHNH.

LOL. I saw the DVD cover for Hollywood once and it had some guy in a weird metallic looking suit. I might rent it out of morbid curiosity.

Kadhal Azhivadhillai looked like a stinker, though the Pillaiyar Suzhi song isn't so bad. T. Rajendar should stop making movies. About 10 years ago in India I wanted to see Annamalai, but it was sold out, so we saw that T. Rajendar film with Simbu and a monkey. Blechh! I think the monkey wrote the script.

I'll wait until the end of December to post my best/worst. I still haven't seen Kaaka Kaaka, Anbe Sivam, Nala Damayanthi, Parthiban Kanavu, and Pinjar, and Tehzeeb is yet to come out. But I think this film will be the best of the year:

I don't think he's very popular now, but he used to be pretty popular. It's kind of funny how in the promos for KA they keep touting Simbu as "Little Superstar" or something and the film was a big flop.

Well, since everyone is doing it, I'll add my thoughts which are very tentative. I will format the list once Ramadhan is over, and I can watch movies again.

Best Movie: I'm going to cheat, and say MAQBOOL, the Indian version of Macbeth that I saw at the Toronto Film Festival. If you twist my arm, I'd have to say MR. AND MRS. IYER, which is very much a 2002 film, but only got here recently.
Best Director: Aparna Sen, MR. AND MRS. IYER
Best Actor: Irfan Khan for MAQBOOL
Best Actress: Urmilla for PINJAR (or maybe TEHZEEB) or Tabu for MAQBOOL
Best Supporting Actor: NONE YET
Best Supporting Actress: Juhi Chawla, TEEN DEEWAREIN
Best Story/Screenplay: MAQBOOL
Best Film Editing: MAQBOOL
Best Director of Photography: KOI MIL GAYA
Best Art Director: PINJAR
Best Costume Design: PINJAR
Best Make-Up: NONE YET
Best Lyrics: NONE YET
Best Film Score: TEHZEEB
Best Music Director: A.R. Rahman, TEHZEEB
Best Sound: NONE YET
Best Sound Editing: NONE YET
Best Visual Effects: NONE YET
Best Fight/Stunt Direction: KOI MIL GAYA
Award of Merit (Overall best Acheivement in Indian Cinema): NONE YET
Best Indian DVD: You're kidding me, right?

Worse Film: NO question, MEIN PREM KI DIWANI HOON
Worse Actor: Hritik Roshan, MEIN PREM KI DIWANI HOON
Worse Actress: Kareena Kapoor, MEIN PREM KI DIWANI HOON
Worse Director: Sooraj Barjatya, MEIN PREM KI DIWANI HOON
Worse Soundtrack: NONE YET
Worse Indian DVD: You're kidding me, right?

Meh... pretty awful choices. Once again, I reserve the right to change all of these. I can't make a list without seeing TEHZEEB, LOC, KHAKEE, KHNH, etc.
