I have complied a list of top bollywood movies of year 2008 after closely analyzing the various sources and their performance.Overall we can say these are the best movies of 2008 from bollywood.
Some of the critically acclaimed movies like Tahaan are not present in the list because there box office performance was below the minimum thresholding box office performance and some of the movies are placed higher in list might not seem successful in India but they did well in outside India territory so they are placed higher in the list while some of the good movies lag just because of their poor international business and poor marketing.
1. Gajini:Rocks,as Amir Khan always rocks with his single flick in a year.This time he did it with Gajini.Though Gajini is latest on the box office and yet to be officially declared as a mega hit but its advance booking and craze is in full throttle now and results are almost predictable.
Critically acclaimed as well and a clear cut winner of Amir Khan v/s Sharukh controversy over their movie releases.A 3 hr long fun & action packed complete entertainment package with south Indian action touch.
