Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan received the best actor award for his recital in the Yash Raj Films’ super hit film “Chak De! India”.
Film and Television Producers’ Guild of India (FTPGI) honoured veteran Bollywood filmmaker Yash Chopra with its top award for “outstanding contribution to Indian Cinema”.
Kareena Kapoor walked away with the best actress trophy for the film “Jab We Met” at a scintillating presentation ceremony at the MMRDA Ground in the Bandra-Kurla Complex in northwest Mumbai Sunday.
FTPGI hosts its own award ceremony to honour Indian artistes as well as creative and technical personalities from the film industry every year.
The trophies are known as “Apsara” awards.
While “Chak De! India” was chosen the best movie of 2007, its director Shimit Amin bagged the trophy for the best director.
A Pakistani television channel, ARY Gold, also honoured actor Hrithik Roshan as the Best Male Style Icon of the year at the ceremony.
Katrina Kaif bagged the Best Female Style Icon ARY Gold trophy.
Akshay Kumar, who churned out the maximum number of hits last year, was adjudged the “Entertainer of the Year” by the FTPGI jury.
NDTV Imagine honoured Deepika Pudokone and Ranbir Kapoor as the year’s best new faces, respectively.
Salman Khan and Govinda received the hit pair NDTV Imagine trophy for their breezy performances in producer Sohail Khan’s hit movie last year, “Partner”.
Salman Khan, Bipasha Basu, Kareena and Riteish Deshmukh performed on the stage. The awards presentation ceremony was put together by Wizcraft.

2007 was a great year for the Hindi film industry. BestDesi team chooses top 10 films.
- This year Fresh new faces made an appearance, old talents resurfaced, and already successful actors moved out of their comfort zone.
- 2007 gave us Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor (both in Saawariya), Deepika Padukone (Om Shanti Om) and Darsheel Safary (Taare Zameen Par) – the bright new faces of tomorrow’s Bollywood.
- We saw Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan take on roles they’ve never done before: Shah Rukh giving up his mannerisms (in Chak De India!), Aamir becoming a director (in Taare Zameen Par).
- Madhuri Dixit and Govinda both made their comebacks, pleasing their huge fan followings no end.
2007’s ten best films, in no particular order:
- Gandhi, My Father
Cast: Akshaye Khanna, Bhoomika Chawla
Plot: The film focuses on Harilal, the son of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Its message: The father of the Indian nation failed as a father to his son.
Why it’s special: A very bold and sensitive storyline was taken forward by exceptional acting, particularly by Akshaye Khanna as the disturbed son of the Mahatma.
- Chak De India!
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Vidya Malvade etc.
Plot: A disgraced former Indian hockey captain bounces back to lead the women’s team to international victory, against all odds.
Why it’s special: Based on the real-life story of Mir Ranjan Negi, a former coach of the Indian women’s hockey team, the film saw Shah Rukh Khan rise spectacularly above his mannerisms. The film proved that a Hindi film can work without any singing around trees. It also helped rekindle public interest in the national sport of hockey.
- Om Shanti Om
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone etc.
Plot: Inspired by the Eighties classic Karz, the film revolves around revenge and re-incarnation, with Shah Rukh in a double role with a twist.
Why it’s special: The film dares to make fun of Seventies’ and Eighties’ Bollywood, including Big B, yet is always in good taste. Brilliant music, acting and costumes all around. Model Deepika makes a pretty good impression in her first film.
- Aaja Nachle
Cast: Madhuri Dixit, Akshaye Khanna, Kunal Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma
Plot: A dancer returns to her roots and forces her city to sit up and take notice.
Why it’s special: Madhuri Dixit’s comeback movie may have not done well in the box office, but it proved — again — that Madhuri is beautiful, talented and an exceptional dancer. The fairy-tale plot let the otherwise good movie down.
- Bhool Bhulaiya
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Shiney Ahuja
Plot: A psycho-thriller, the movie revolves around a “haunted” house, an ancient family and its many complications.
Why it’s special: Remake of a classic Malayalam film, Bhool Bhulaiya moves quickly with edge-of-seat action. Vidya Balan shines in a role of many shades.
- Guru
Cast: Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, R. Madhavan, Vidya Balan, Mithun Chakraborty
Plot: A rags-to-riches story, arguably inspired by the life of Indian tycoon Dhirubhai Ambani.
Why it’s special: A taut storyline that saw exceptional acting by its cast. The director dared to deglamorise Aishwarya and re-introduce Mithun, a senior actor languishing in B-grade movies.
- Partner
Cast: Salman Khan, Govinda, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif
Plot: A remake of Hitch, the story’s all about falling in love – and its many complications.
Why it’s special: A fun movie, it marks the re-entry of Govinda as an A-list actor with perfect comic timing.
- Taare Zameen Par
Cast: Aamir Khan, Darsheel Safary, Tanay Chheda, Tisca Chopra
Plot: A young boy with dyslexia grapples with life, until he meets his mentor — an art teacher also with dyslexia.
Why it’s special: “Perfectionist” Aamir Khan’s directorial debut, this film is exceptional in its story-telling. Truly sensitive, minus melodrama and highlighting an often-ignored condition, Taare may also have given Bollywood a new generation star, Darsheel, 11.
Big super flops
The year 2007 has also been marked by some spectacular flops, many of them from celebrated directors.
- Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s musical, Saawariya, did poorly at the box office, despite the much-hyped debut of star kids Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor; the film has a look alike of a ballet with only colours of blue.
- Pradip Sarkar’s Lagaa Chunari Mein Daag had a hackneyed storyline and crippling melodrama. The film died naturally, despite the presence of stars such as Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan.
- Another huge failure was Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, a poorly-judged remake of Sholay – a top Bollywood film of all time. Even the presence of Amitabh Bachchan, this time as villain, failed to lift it.
Quote of the day:

The year that was 2007
Film
Chak De! India was voted the No. 1 Bollywood film of 2007. BestDesi.com asked a cross section of people in the Indian film industry about their favourite film.
- Last year when Bollywood stars were asked about their favorite film of the year 2006, most of them couldn’t decide between Rang De Basanti and Lage Raho Munnabhai. This year, the Bollywood industry seems to have found universal appeal in the Shah Rukh Khan starred Chak De! India.
- The film had everything: a taut screenplay, a patriotic theme, great direction, brilliant characters and superb performances. It was a combination which worked exceptionally well.
- There were films such as Om Shanti Om
, Bheja Fry, Black Friday, Metro, Gandhi My Father and Jab We Met that came across the stars’ minds, but none of them equaled the universal acceptance that Chak De! India received to take first place.

Within hours of its release on 30th Nov, 2007, Actor Madhuri Dixit’s comeback movie Aaja Nachle had hit a erroneous note.
- · Producers of Madhuri Dixit ’s comeback film Aaja Nachle , ran into a hullabaloo over its title song, later apologised for the lyrics and said that immediate action has been taken to remove the objectionable words.
- · The instructions to remove the offending lyrics in the title song of the film had been sent to all distributors and exhibitors on Friday night and will not be heard in theatres from Saturday, a release from film’s producer Yashraj Films stated in Mumbai.
The prohibited lines are:
“Bazar me machi he maramar; bole mochi bhi khud ko sunharâ€
(There is so much chaos in the market that even a cobbler is calling himself a jeweller)…
- · In New Delhi, activists of a Dalit outfit Indian Justice Party on Friday staged a demonstration against the movie alleging that the lyrics of a song hurt the Dalits. They found a line from the title track offensive and besieged movie halls showing the film and publicity material.
- · That was good enough for UP Chief Minister Mayawati to revoke the ban, although Haryana and Punjab still haven’t allowed it to be screened. The team behind the film also apologised at a press conference in Mumbai.
- “Nobody had any intentions of hurting or ridiculing anyone and nobody on the Censor Board saw it that way,” said script writer
- Jaideep Sahni.
- · But that didn’t gratify everyone. In Mumbai, Shiv Sena protested at a theatre while RPI leader Ramdas Athawale asked for the producer, director, writer and lyricist of the film to be charged under the Atrocity Act.
- · The Minorities Commission also jumped in, saying the words used are unconstitutional. The film however, received support from directors and viewers alike.
- “I saw the film and absolutely loved it. I think there is a cultural message,” said filmmaker Karan Johar.
- · While controversy is not new to Bollywood films, this is something that even the makers of the movie may not have bargained for.
- · The controversial lyrics has since been removed.
- · And Madhuri Dixit has packed her luggage and proceeded to US in a distress state.

For a performer like Madhuri who persistently believes dancing awakens mysticism, no other movie could have manifest a be suitable return to Bollywood than Yashraj Films’ ‘Aaja Nachle’.
Aaja Nachle stars brilliant actors like Kunal Kapoor , Konkona Sen Sharma , Raghuvir Yadav , Vinay Pathak , Ranvir Shorey , Jugal Hansraj and Darshan Jariwala .
Star cast:
Madhuri Dixit as Dia
She was the life of Shamli. The town never forgave her and she never forgave the town. Anokhi is in fact anokhi (different). The difficulty is, Anokhi cannot sing or dance to conserve her life, or Dia’s.
Kunal Kapoor as Imran
Imran, a local self-assertive guy, believes that love, romance etc. is for timid, not for tough guys like him.
Additional stars:
Jugal Hansraj plays an accountant.
Précis:
During a dance rehearsal in New York, Dia gets a unforeseen call from India after a decade which cause distress to her.
Her Guru, Makarand (Darshan Zariwala) is on his last legs and she must return to Shamli town. This is the town where she was born and bread and where she learned the first step of dancing,. This is the town where lived her parents and other loved ones.
This is a heartbreaking and anxious return. The Guru is no more and the foundation that he dotingly developed is in decompose and under danger of pulling down. The theatre named Ajantha with which Dia‘s past recollections are surrounded is being pulled down by the local political authorities as they feel it is a misuse of leading real estate.
Dia takes the support of Raghubir Yadav, for the prevention of destruction of the theatre and built in a new. Dia picks up the challenge in an ambience of suspect, mockery and dynamic aggression and agrees to accomplish the near unattainable job of putting together a theatrical production.
In a time limit of two months she has to prove her worth and she can take the help of members of Shamili town only, or else the bulldozers will pull down the structure.
Thus begins Dia’s turbulent expedition of big business with small town irrational knowledge, conflicting with the anger of the influential supplier, the sarcasm of the local political powers, determine the understated tensions of inter personal relationships and so on…..
Dia’s group includes small rank muscle Imran (Kunal Kapoor), the local rough boisterous Anokhi (Konkona Sen), local ex-MLA Chaudhary Om Singh (Akhilendra Mishra), a tea stall owner Mohan Sharma (Ranvir Shorey), a accountable government official Mr. Chojar (Vinay Pathak), an insurance agent Sanjeev Mehta (Jugal Hansraj), the town homeless person Dhankuber (Nowaz) and a crowd of many others.
Dia’s target is to generate in this pandemonium ,a command to save Ajanta, in a bid to safeguard what her guru so adoringly tendered. She must craft art in order to defend what she believes is the soul of culture.
Jaideep Sahni is the author of the storyline based on the idea of Aditya Chopra.
The film’s music has been given by Salim-Sulaiman. Lyrics are by Piyush Mishra, Jaideep Sahni and Asif Ali Beg.
Main attraction:
-
- Comeback of Madhuri Dixit
- The Big Yash Raj Banner
- The addictive songs, Show me your jalwa and Sonia Saigal’s westernised Come on dance with me.
- Non insertion of any soaring hero, or else the male protagonist would have surpassed Madhuri.
Madhuri has got bundle of buoyancy on her face! Not every actress makes progress or make impressive comeback achievements. Once again Madhuri has proved that rigid effort and will power are the most apt implements, which could take her to shaky position to reach the assured distance. She is the best actress with less attitude
Madhuri is aesthetic, naive, and poised, with an indispensable heart of Indianness that is classic and appeals to all viewer. An element of risk is still involved . Hindi film industry has transformed a lot during her non-existence from the front battle. Will this type of town storyline visualize audience? Will she able to live up to expectations of the people is an dubious task. Although even in her 40’s she is still gorgeous, it would be unfair to expect the same refreshing perfection from her. It is the acting talent which will be tested now. As a middle aged lady, how much deepness she will bring to the character is a big question. Kajol in Fanaa pulled off a superb comeback as a blind girl, capably assisted by Aamir Khan. Now let us wait and watch how Madhuri is made of.
That inspired restiveness is what may make the difference. Aaja Nach Le is a vigilant taxing on Madhuri and Yash Raj. If the film proves to be worth seeing, we could get to see more of that luminous, extraordinary shaft of light in the approaching years.
