 Munnabhai MBBS (Raj Kumar Hirani) 2003 Talking point: He is the Hrishikesh Mukherjee of the new millennium. Simple plots, clever dialogues and innocent characters are what make the Munnabhai series such a rage. When it comes to comedies, Munnabhai MBBSstands out in an otherwise clutter of stupid slapstick affairs. Follow up: He bettered his debut with the sequel and is now set to direct Aamir Khan in 3 Idiots.

 Kal Ho Naa Ho (Nikhil Advani) 2003 Talking point: Snappily edited and brilliantly shot, Kal Ho Naa Ho has tremendous repeat value. Whether Karan ghost directed it or not, we don't know, but Nikhil Advani's debut film had all its elements in place. Unfortunately except for Shankar Ehsaan Loy's consistently brilliant scores, Nikhil's other films haven't got anything else right. Follow up: A never-ending remake of Love Actually and a disastrous attempt mixing Kung Fu with curry.

 Main Hoon Na (Farah Khan) 2004 Talking point: Main Hoon Na is what SRK must have told Farah when she thought of this illogical, Manmohan Desai style lost and found tale. Despite obvious influences of Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra in her style, Farah rocks because she can spoof like no one else can. Watch the Matrix inspired spit sequence or the Sholayisque auto chase and you'll know why. Follow up: An equally hilarious reincarnation spoof Om Shanti Om.

 Taare Zameen Par (Aamir Khan) 2006 Talking point: Perhaps the only other actor other than Raj Kapoor to have achieved perfection in both acting and direction. His attention to detail and experience showed in every frame of this masterpiece. That's why a film on dyslexia turned out to be so entertaining without getting preachy. As Farhan Akhtar said on his show "This man can even turn a documentary on fertilizers into a blockbuster". Follow up: We are waiting…

 A Wednesday (Neeraj Pandey) 2008 Talking point: How can a film starring Anupam Kher and Naseeruddin Shah in the lead be entertaining? Well Neeraj Pandey proved everyone wrong with his gripping, to-the-point thriller, about a common man's reaction to terrorism. It's a perfect example of blending art house sensibilities into the mainstream format. Hard to believe that this film was lying unsold for a very long time. Follow up: No formal announcements but we are sure he has a busy awards reason ahead.
