Posts Tagged ‘Top 10’
THEY are hep and happening. Queens of the soap and role models to millions of young girls. Over the past more than a year, the small picture tube has been virtually invaded by a new set of young ladies who are setting new fashion styles and social trends.
- These young new divas have not just elbowed out the well-known ones but have made them look like the generation past. Much of the credit must go to, who else? Ekta Kapoor, who has introduced a slew of new ladies who have cast a spell on the Indian audience. Stars who were nobodies till a year or so ago but are top of the pops today.
- The good wife is always in a designer saree, complete with sindoor and mangalsutra. But the fiance can wear jeans and a sleeveless or noodles top. At least that is what the small screen seems to be preaching.
1.Shweta Tiwari
She is leading the band is who has attained heady stardom with her role in Kasautii Zindagi Kay. I would say she is bold, good looking ,tall and has immense screen presence. She can dance well and act too and her dialogue deliverance is quite spontaneous. She has all qualities for the leading heroine in Hindi films.
2. Prachi Desai
If purity needed a synonym in today’s Indian television industry, Prachi Desai would be the top challenger. The 17-year-old actress did wonders with her portrayal of Bani in Kasamh Se and is the undisputed number one actress of 2007. Not only did she elevate the character to a new level, but she also became one of the most popular faces in the industry. Desai is Ekta Kapoor’s latest blue-eyed-girl and there is a lot more expected from her in the years to come.
3. Divyanaga
She is a beauty, pretty and lovely in herself, although I am not watching any of her serials but in between when IÂ see her in Saas Bahu aur Sajish, I have become a fan of her. Recently she won best actress award. She embodies innocence in her looks.
4.Pravina
I dont know her off screen name, but she does a fabulous job in Baa Bahu aur Baby. Rcently her character has been killed in the serial, hope she will get resurrection soon. She is witty and her screen presence is immense and colossal.
5.Lubna
She is the Hema Malini look alike of Baa Bahu aur baby. Somehow even when she does overacting, it is not irritating and the way she portrays the character as the eldest bahu she is marvellous.
6.Richa Gujarati
She used to be the bahu of Babhi, recently has character has been given to somebody else. I always used to feel this girl has immense potential, and that has been materialised, it is learnt that she has signed a film with Abjieet Sawant, the Indian Idol. She performs has role quite candidly.
7.Panchi Vohra
She became a bahu very recently in kayamat, but from the very beginning, I had predicted that she will be the Rani Mukherjee of TV and that has really happened. She is sober, beautiful and with no ommps. Very simple and very innocent.
8.Pallavi
This dark girl fares well in Karam Apna Apna. She fully justifies with her role as a daughter from a lower middle class family , but now a bahu of a very rich family.
9.Sangeeta Ghosh
This lady has vivacious screen presence and recently we saw her in Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand which won her a instant fame.
10.Kavita Nagpal
She plays Rakesh Bedis wife in Office Office. Although she is very plump and old enough for the role she play, but still I like the way she enacts her role. She is simply superb.
Readers now you give your choice of bahus in the TV and let us see which bahu wins the most of the vote.

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.

Top songs
Last year’s top song was definitely Beedi Jalai Le. Its trendy folk-flavour floored everyone in 2006. This year, Chak De India’s anthem was by far the best song of the year. The singer Sukhvinder Singh, who also had a major role in Beedi’s success, has thus received top of the year honors twice.
Remixes
The painful glut of remixes has slowed down, though not stopped entirely. Now, composers include remixed versions on the original albums before anyone else has a chance to manipulate the tunes. In short, this trend is a lesser of the two evils.
Top 10 Songs
Amidst largely similar-sounding songs, a few songs made a difference.
-
Chak De
(Chak De India) Sukhvinder Singh
-
Aankhon Mein Teri
(Om Shanti Om) KK
-
Jabse Tere Naina
(Saawariya) Shaan
-
Halke Halke
(Honeymoon Travels) Neraj Shridhar
-
In Dinon Dil Mera
(Life In A… Metro) Soham
-
Kitni Der Tak
(Delhi Heights) Sonu Nigam
-
Cheeni Kum Hai
(Cheeni Kum) Shreya Ghoshal
-
Mind Blowing Mahiya
(Cash) Sunidhi Chouhan
-
Aye Ganpat
(Shootout at Lokhandwala) Mika Singh
-
Jhoom Barabar Jhoom
(Jhoom Barabar Jhoom) Shankar Mahadevan
Top 5 Albums of the year
1. Khoya Khoya Chand by Shantanu Moitra
2. Life In A Metro by Pritam
3. Saawariya by Monty Sharma
4. Om Shanti Om by Vishal-Shekhar
5. Delhi Heights by Rabbi Shergil
ARTISTE’S CHOICE
- Shankar Mahadevan
“I think our work, as composers,in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (he was a part of the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composer-trio for JBJ) was appreciated, even though the film did not do well at the box-office. As a singer, I enjoyed singing its title song. I am happy to explore different music genres on different soundtracks.”
- Shreya Ghoshal
“Luckily, this year I managed to sing quite a few good songs such as the title song of Cheeni Kum, the slow version of Tara Rum Pum, the item number Yeh Ishq Haaye and the semi-classical Chhand Re. In Khoya Khoya Chaand, I enjoyed singing Thirak Thirak, a duet with Sonu Nigam, where I received specific instructions not to go overboard. I also sang Chale Aao Sainya, which was a good classical number.”
- Shaan
“I loved the title-songs of Johnny Gaddar, Aankhon Mein Teri, Om Shanti Om and the romantic duet – Bol Na Halke from Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. Among my own efforts, I liked Jabse Tere Naina from Saawariya and Yeh Pyar Kya Hai – the romantic ballad from Marigold.”

10. God was worried that Adam would frequently become lost in the garden because he would not ask for directions.
9. God knew that one day Adam would require someone to locate and hand him the remote.
8. God knew Adam would never go out and buy himself a new fig leaf when his wore out and would therefore need Eve to buy one for him.
7. God knew Adam would never be able to make a doctor’s, dentist, or haircut appointment for himself.
6. God knew Adam would never remember which night to put the garbage on the curb.
5. God knew if the world was to be populated, men would never be able to handle the pain and discomfort of childbearing.
4. As the Keeper of the Garden, Adam would never remember where he left his tools.
3. Apparently, Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.
2. As the Bible says, It is not good for man to be alone!
And the only TOP reason why God created Eve…
1. When God finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back, scratched his head, and said, “I can do better than that!â€
