Another film which won hearts was Anurag Basu's ‘Barfi!'. The film had two mainstream actors Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra completely demolish their starry images to emerge as a deaf-mute boy and an autistic girl in love. The film is India's official entry to the Oscars this year.
Simple yet touching, Sridevi made a successful comeback with ‘English Vinglish' playing a housewife who endeavours to learn English.
While offbeat films found their space in mainstream cinema, it was a good year for the masala entertainers too.
