Best hindi movies of the past 3 years

Saw Tare Zameen Par with divi. Thoroughly enoyed it.. which prompted me to get prolific wid bloggin.. 2 in 2 days eh.. not bad.. I obviously am a sucker for lists .. being an espn.com nut.. one cant help but become a list nut.. so here is a list of all indian movies (in the last 3 years) that made my 3 hrs worth it - in reverse order
Paisa Wasool- Taaliyaan
Guru - Didnt care for the performances.. dhirubhai's story is inspiring nonetheless
Chameli - Am a kareena hater.. but its always good to be surprised..
Page 3 - konkana, "i will become the character i play" Sen is The best.. no arguments
Life in a Metro - Cool music.. again konkana rocks
1971 - I thought this was a neatly done war movie.. with minimal jingoism
Being Cyrus - Saif can act.. and Boman Irani CAN act
Corporate - Must say.. I expected this to be a drag and it managed to keep me glued
Chini Kum - Amitabhs chemistry with tabu is endearing
Pyaar kei Side effects - Had me in splits for the most part. Its not something i have some to expect of a rahul bose movie.. yet it is as much a ranvir shenoy and gasp.. mallika sherawat film
Jhakkas - First day first show front row
Iqbal - Shreyas and nasiruddin shah charm you in a simple feel good story on cricket
Manorama 6 feet under - Abhay deol is kinda refereshing. Did i mention gul panang rocks. So does Rimi Sen. The movie is very well constructed.. Keeps you glued
Dor - Transports you to the rural charms of rajasthan and Himachal using ayesha takia and gul panang(Is she cool or what) as strong feminist protaganists
Parineeta - Vidya balan shines along with vidhu vinod chopra.. nobody brings out mid 20th century charm quite like him
The Namesake - The magic is in the screenplay.. kal penn is mighty good
Munna Bhai 2 - A sequel as endearing as this cant be a fluke
Tare Zameen Par - Aamir has created something special.. darsheel and the artwork/animation in the film rocks. Shankar ehsaan loy has gifted a gem of a score. yummy
Khosla ka ghosla - still makes me feel insecure about my plot in Delhi.. Ranvir shenoy is awesome .. and so is kailash kher
Chak De - The bandar didnt spoil it.. an indian sports movie for the ages.. for a non existing genre in hindi cinema.. this is a classy effort.. partly inspired by that true gem.. bend it like.. and yes i hated Lagaan to the core
Bheja Fry - thank you vonay pathak.. the film is all yours..
Chak de phatte - 1000 ka black mei dega kya
Johny Gaddar - What an underrated film.. I was awestruck by it. Neil mukesh is a good actor.. This is easily shankar ehsaan loys top 3 effort. Sriram raghavan knows a thing or 2 about film-making
Rang De Basanti - What a comback from the director after that horror called aks.. Kunal kapoor was the find ofcourse..
Omkara - Flawless.. all credit to the director.. vishal bharadwaj is the 2nd best director out there in indian cinema.. did i mention saif can act.. and konkana CAN act
Hazaaron Khwaishein aisi - best ever??? do me a favor.. see it.. if you cant see it and have your mind feeling like a salivating tongue.. dont even bother talking to me .. and say after me - Sudhir misra is god. Where art thou Chitrangada Singh.. You left me dazzled, wanting more and being able to do nothing about it. Its a rare occasion that an actress has been able to pull off that role of a woman that any man can befriend, love and lust for.. and is hence always a dream away.. even when she is in his arms

I may have missed out a few here and there.. will retrofit as i remember.. please do let me know if i missed any . Please do not suggest Black(it was overrated and loud).. Remember the 3 year limit(2005 onwards)
