The Biggest Hits of 2008

4. Golmaal Returns
Critics may have panned the film but audiences loved it. Diwali release Golmaal Returns went on to become a big hit, thanks to good word of mouth. Its first part Golmaal (2006) was also a big hit.


Director Rohit Shetty made the audiences roll with laughter, and Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade and Kareena Kapoor gave able support.

3. Dostana
Either you loved Dostana or you hated you. Luckily for producer Karan Johar, there were more people in the first category. Starring Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra, the film gave all three actors that much-needed hit.
The music by Vishal-Shekhar became a big hit too, and helped to make the film the third biggest hit of the year.

2. Singh is Kinng
Akshay Kumar's success streak continued this year, as he gave the industry a blockbuster in Singh Is Kinng.

Within two weeks, the film managed to gross more than Rs 100 crore in India and abroad. The title even became the slogan for Congress party, after they survived the no-confidence motion. They plastered 'Singh is Kinng' in their publicity campaigns, referring to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Pritam's music was outstanding, and enhanced the film further.
People also loved Katrina Kaif's fantastic pairing with Akki.

1. Ghajini
Aamir Khan's action film Ghajini has already raked in a lot of moolah this year, even though it was 2008's last release. Khan went all out to market the film, which was a remake of the 2005 Tamil blockubuster of the same name.

Ghajini broke all records in the very first week.
So would that make Aamir the king of the 2008 box office? The actor himself made an interesting reply on a news channel. "Does Lata Mangeshkar ever say that she is number one? Or for that matter, does Sachin Tendulkar say he is the number one batsman? So why should I say that? The only people who say they are number one are in real, not number one!" Well said, Aamir!
