The Bollywood hits of 2009 at Box office collection
The year has not been the best Bollywood has seen at the box office. In fact, the Hindi film industry faced some serious competition from Hollywood films like 2012 and Avatar.
While we await a potential blockbuster in this week's release 3 Idiots, we look at the biggest hits in Bollywood this year. Trade analyst Vinod Mirani throws in some figures as well, as he lists out the hits. Image: Scenes from 3 Idiots, 2012 and Avatar  350)this.width=350;">

If 3 Idiots does not break box office records, then Salman Khan's Wanted will be the highest grosser of the year.
The film is a remake of the Tamil and Telugu hit Pokiri, and sees choreographer Prabhudeva's foray into Bollywood as director. The name Radhe must work brilliantly for Salman on screen. Besides Wanted, Radhe was his screen name in his other blockbuster Tere Naam, years ago. In Wanted, Salman plays a sharp shooter, who falls in love with Ayesha Takia's character. The film had humour, action and romance, and won the audience's heart. Box office collection: Rs 75 crores. Image: A scene from Wanted  350)this.width=350;">

Saif Ali Khan obviously is as good a producer as he is an actor.
His debut home production, Love Aaj Kal, was the second highest grosser of the year. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the film starred Deepika Padukone, Brazilian model Gisele Montero and of course, Saif himself. Love Aaj Kal told a love story of two generations, how the concept of love changed through the years. Box Office collections: Rs 66.5 crores. Image: A scene from Love Aaj Kal  350)this.width=350;">
