Love Aaj Kal

Bollywood trailers are mostly trashy. Very few are creative, very few move beyond the people who star in the movies -- they're mostly just moving posters with faces presented front and center.

Yet some promos manage to startle, to provoke, to intrigue. To really make us want to watch the film.

Here, then, is a list of ten trailers for this year's releases. Nope, that fabulously profane Ishqiyaa trailer doesn't feature because the film's only out in 2010. But here's the best of 2009, a list compiled with much help from my gang on Twitter:

A slick use of splitscreen and racy visuals marks the trailer for this Imtiaz Ali film, even as Saif Ali Khan notices how it's only in Indian love stories that the girl's name comes first.

Add to that him as a sepiatoned Sikh alongside a Brazilian girl we'd never seen before, and this trailer that promised a really interesting film.
