Bend It Like Beckham |
Parminder Nagra, Keira Knightley, Anupam Kher |
|
Gurinder Chadha |
Albeit somewhat superficial, there's tons of fun in Chadha's soccer story.
The dubbed Indian title was most apt: "Football Shoot-ball, Haye Rabba". |

Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai |
Uday Chopra, Jimmy Shergill, Sanjana, Bipasha Basu,
Alok Nath, Saurabh Shukla, Neena Kulkarni, Bindu |
Jeet-Pritam |
Sanjay Gadhvi |
Hard to
determine what scored more with audiences: the "My Best
Friend's Wedding" adapted tale or Shamita Shetty's sultry "Sharara
Sharara" item number. |

Aankhen |
Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar,
Paresh Rawal, Arjun Ramphal, Sushmita Sen, Aditya Panscholi with Bipasha Basu and Kashmira
Shah in Special Appearance |
Aadesh Shrivastava, Jatin - Lalit & Nitin
Raikwar |
Vipul Amrutlal Shah |
The plot
sounded preposterous before the film's release, but with Amitabh at the cast's helm and a
talented new director on deck, Aankhen scored a pretty clean loot. |

Road |
Manoj Bajpai, Vivek Oberoi, Antra Mali, Makhrand
Deshpande, Rajpal Yadav, Vijay Raaz, Raj Zutshi and Ganesh Yadav. Special Appearances by
Ganesh Acharya and Koena Mitra |
Sandesh Shandilya, Nitin Raikwar |
Rajat Mukherjee |
We were
all glad to see Mukherjee trying something different again in his second directorial
venture. If only the filmmaker didn't feel the need to use the lengthy two hour plus
Bollywood convention for this cinematic journey. |

Deewangee |
Ajay Devgan, Akshaye Khanna, Urmila Matondkar, Seema
Biswas, Suhasini Mulay, Farida Jalal, Suresh Oberoi |
Ismail Darbar |
Anees Bazmee |
Slick,
boys and girls, slick! How else can we describe the superb Devgan-Khanna performances and
quick pacing of the flick. |
| 5 |
Humraaz |
Bobby Deol, Amisha Patel and Akshaye Khanna |
Himesh Reshammiya |
Abbas-Mustan |
Akshaye
Khanna scored a second time with the murder mystery formula. But this time, Himesh
Reshammiya lent the proceedings some bloody good songs too. |

Saathiya |
Vivek Oberoi, Rani Mukherjee, Sandhya Mridul,
Tanuja, Satish Shah, Sharat Saxena, Shahrukh Khan (s.a), Tabu (s.a) |
A R Rahman |
Shaad Ali |
It was
hard for Shaad Ali to strike out with a remake of Mani Ratnam's Alai Payuthey. But his
transporting of it to a North Indian milieu was almost perfect. |

Devdas |
Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Madhuri Dixit,
Jackie Shroff, Kiron Kher, Smita Jaykar, Vijayendra Ghatge, Tiku Talsania, Milind Gunaji,
Ananya, Dina Pathak and Vijay Crishna |
Ismail Darbar |
Sanjay Leela Bhansali |
Here's
more fuel for the fire that the film should not have been India's official entry for the
Oscars. There's never been a more glossy or opulent looking Bollywood product than
Bhansali's Devdas, but is that enough to be called the best from India? |
| 2 |
Monsoon Wedding |
Nasserudin Shah, Lilette Dubey, Vasundhra Das,
Shefali Shetty, Vijay Raaz, Parvin Dabas, Sameer Arya, and Khulbhushan Kharbandha |
Michael Daaney |
Mira Nair |
There's a
simple reason Nair's wedding dramedy made $20 million globally; she knows how to have fun,
but doesn't mince her words on serious topics. |
And
the number 1 movie of year 2002 is:
"COMPANY"
Starring: Ajay Devgan, Manisha Koirala, Mohanlal, Antara Mali, Seema
Biswas, Introducing Vivek Oberoi, Isha Koppikar & Urmila in special appearances
Director: Ram
Gopal Varma
Music: Sandeep Chowta |
| Mr. Varma continues to
take Indian cinema to lofty heights. And international studio houses (20th Century Fox)
have finally jumped at the chance to sponsor this genius' vision. No other Indian director
would dare create this superb allegory for the corporate world in a mafia enterprise. |
