“It was a better year this time. A lot of big and small budget films have done well. New kind of films with innovative subjects were being made and audience liked them. There were only a few disappointments this year. Overall it seems the year was good for the Hindi film industry,” trade analyst Vinod Mirani told PTI.
‘Kahaani', directed by Sujoy Ghosh and starring Vidya Balan, became a huge hit as a suspense thriller. The film was everything but a typical Bollywood project - pregnant female protagonist, small scale set-up in Kolkata and almost half the dialogues in Bengali.
