The Great Bollywood Poll- First Half 2007
So you preferred the sugar-free taste of Cheeni Kum, or did the collage of Life In A Metro motivate you more? Perhaps, you loved the charms of Namastey London, or maybe the gush of emotional Water washed you in its pathos? Whatever be the film, it’s now time for you to select your most favorite film from the plethora of releases in the first half of 2007.
Currently, Bollywood is undergoing a very interesting phase. They are combining age old themes with mint-fresh narratives to create an unique amalgamation that is evidently a reflection of our own society – the old respectfully segued to the vibrant new. New directors are bringing in fresh vision. And the older ones are re-inventing themselves. Of course, there are some bloopers every now and then, but by and large the more ‘known’ films are creating an impact. Loathe it or love it, but you just cannot ignore Bollywood today.
So, it’s official now. The Great Bollywood Poll is now open for all to vote, and the last date for the same is June 30th, 2007.
The link for the page had been up for some-time but I wasn’t ready for the poll to hit the marquee. Yet, I see ten response already. And keeping in mind that some non-regular readers might have voted as well, I haven’t ‘reset’ the poll and retained the earlier responses as well.
As said on the page, I will do a special post on the movie that gets the widest choice. Let me hasten to add, I am not a film critic, and admittedly would be illeterate in many technical aspects, but I am an ardent Bollywood fan and do view it with more than a casual interest. To read some of my earlier reviews, please see here.
The sucess of any project cannot lie with any one single person. Hence, it’s a humble request to all readers to popularize the poll as much as they can so that it can reflect a wide variety of choices. The success of this poll will create the foundation for more.
And yes, the comment fields are open on the page to enable healthy discussion!
