Top 10 Bollywood Movie of 2012 - New Cine Buzz

Action, drama, comedy or romance - you name it and Bollywood had it this year. Be it small-budget content-driven films or typical potboilers, the industry saw a great mix of movies throughout 2012.

New Cine Buzz (NCB) picks the best of the lot that rocked the box office:

Ek Tha Tiger: The very fact that former real-life couple Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan were the lead pair for this film was enough to draw audiences to the theatres. Its songs, picturisation and power-packed action kept the cash registers ringing, and helping this film garner approximately Rs190 crore. Salman played an Indian spy named Tiger, who falls head over heels in love with a female spy from Pakistan, essayed by Katrina. Their chemistry, of course, worked.

Rowdy Rathore: The return of 'khiladi' Akshay Kumar - that's what this film was awaited for. Akshay's action, mixed with Prabhudheva's distinct taste of dance and exaggerated jumps, gave Hindi movie buffs a perfect masala affair. The Bollywood remake of Telugu movie "Vikramarkudu", it also stared Sonakshi Sinha. The movie earned Rs140 crore.

Agneepath: A remake yet again. The success ratio of remakes of past hits has been low, but"Agneepath" was a dream debut for Karan Malhotra. He added a contemporary touch to the eponymous 1990 movie. With Hrithik Roshan reprising the role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan and Sanjay Dutt playing the villain Kaancha Cheena, "Agneepath" turned out to be 2012's first blockbuster and managed to mint around Rs120 crore.

Housefull 2: One would hardly think of enjoying a movie with 12 known actors playing key roles. But this one managed to entertain viewers. A sequel to hit 2010 movie Housefull, this Sajid Khan film, with its classic comic sequences, but slightly crowded cast, made over Rs110 crore at the box office.

Barfi!: The simple story line, sensitive treatment and excellent performances helped Anurag Basu's Barfi! establish an emotional connect with the audience. The love story of a deaf and mute boy, played deftly by Ranbir Kapoor, with an autistic girl, essayed by National award-winning actress Priyanka Chopra, left many teary eyed. India's official entry for the foreign film category Oscar this year, the movie, which is now out of the Oscar race, made collections of Rs110 crore.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan: Love was redefined in typical Yash Chopra way with Jab Tak Hai Jaan. The late filmmaker, who bid adieu to the world just a few days before the movie's release, gave his final work with the king of romance Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. The movie, also featuring Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, captured the scenic beauty of London and Kashmir very well - garnering collections of over Rs120 crore.

Bol Bachchan: It was hard to think of a modern day version of the 1979 comedy Gol Maal. But Rohit Shetty made it happen - and how! This Abhishek Bachchan and Ajay Devgn-starrer turned out to be truly paisa vasool. Ajay's one-liner English dialogues and Abhishek's double dhamaal paved the way for crossing the Rs100-crore mark for this film.

Son Of Sardaar: Remember Ajay Devgn and his Phool Aur Kaante stunt on two bikes? He took it to the next level by riding together on two horses in Son of Sardaar. A turban-clad Ajay managed to tickle the viewers' funny bone, along with Sanjay Dutt and Sonakshi Sinha, and helped this movie make around Rs105 crore.

Talaash: Aamir Khan's Midas touch rarely fails. Talaash was just another case in point. This suspense thriller by Reema Kagti narrated the story of a Mumbai cop trying to put a puzzle in place and it kept the audience on the edges of their seats. The film, also starring Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji, made around Rs90 crore at the Indian box office.

OMG: Oh My God!: Comedy, sadness, anger and greed. Paresh Rawal carried out all emotions in one character flawlessly. Akshay Kumar played god in the Umesh Shukla-directorial, which questioned the existence of god. Complete with humour and a message, the movie minted over Rs.70 crore at the box office.

Director Reema Kagti's latest venture Talaash starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee in leads, has fetched fantastic collection figures at the global Box Office in the first week. The psychological suspense thriller has surpassed Rs 100 crore mark at the collection centres worldwide in seven days.

Talaash, which was released in 2,600 screens on November 30 after six months delay, started with a bang at the Indian Box Office on Friday and its business went upwards over weekend. The movie raked in Rs 47.1 crores nett in the first weekend. Its collection dropped considerably on weekdays with the film adding Rs 20.8 crores to its seven days total Rs 67.9 crores nett in the country.

Talaash was released in 520 screens in 43 countries in overseas markets, just a day before it hit the screens in India. The suspense thriller has got very good response in the countries like USA, UK, UAE, GCC, Australia and New Zealand. It collected Rs 27.57 crore nett at the international Box Office. And it raked in Rs 9.18 crores on weekdays, taking its first week overseas total to Rs 36.75 crores nett ($ 6.75 million).

However, Talaash, which has collected Rs 104.65 crores at worldwide Box Office, is now facing a big threat from Khiladi 786, which has hit 2,785 screens in India and 450+ screens in the foreign market on December 7. Trade experts feel that the Akshay Kumar and Asin starrer, which has received a fantastic opening, would send down the collection of Talaash in the second week.

Search Engine Giant Google to promote his latest film Talaash

The master of marketing gimmicks made an unusual request to search engine giant Google to promote his latest film Talaash

Talk about unique ideas for marketing a film, and Aamir Khan always comes up trumps. For Ghajini he made multiplex ushers have a buzz haircut similar to his character. During 3 Idiots, he simply chose to vanish – just like he does in the film – and tour the country in disguise. So what did he think up for his latest film Talaash, releasing on November 30?

You won’t be able to guess that! Aamir the genius actually made his team approach the big boss of online search engines Google, with a first-of-its-kind plan. He requested for a small change on the Google homepage – to replace the word ‘search’ with the Hindi word ‘talaash’, which is not only the movie’s name, but also literally means ‘search’. How clever!

But Aamir’s clout did not work this time – Google rejected him. They will not have anyone messing with their main page, we guess, and that too the word ‘search’ itself. It’s like giving your identity away as ad space, no?

And this has left us wondering what Aamir will do before the release of Dhoom:3 next year. Do you have any idea? Go on, take a guess….
