Bollywood has always believed in funda of havin Bigger star-cast for making big bucks and majorly commercial. But in 2008 the trend seemed to change. Movies even without big star-cast faired well at the box-office. Few movies exposed the cruel reality and the fear of any common man in India.
Listed below are few movies which I feel did fairly well:
- A Wednesday
- Mumbai Meri Jaan
- Aamir
- Dasvidaniya
- Welcome to Sajjanpur
- Slumdog Millionaire
I especially liked movie 'Aamir'. It clearly shows how out-of-nowhere one might become part of brutal terrorism.
'A Wednesday' shows frustration of a common man whereas 'Mumbai Meri Jaan' has portrayed fear of a common man to terrorism.
'Dasvidaniya' wonderfully portrays how a common man tries to come out of Rat Race after he realizes that he is going to die in another few months.
'Welcome to Sajjanpur' is just fun to watch. Words-does-matter is the message from this movie.
'Slumdog Millionaire' has exposed the shocking reality of Mumbai slums. I was stupefied to see the life of a child born in slum. This is definitely more than just-a-movie.
Please let me know if I have missed any such movies in 2008. :)

Ya. 2008 was the year of low budget movies making it big at the box office. I think "Rock on" was fairly good too inspite of being predictable.
@Narasimhan
'Rock On' was a good movie studded with well known actors. Hence it did not make it to my list... The movie had a good message too.
watch gajini
