Bollywood's best posters of 2009

There's so much a poster can do. No matter how much you like the maker and the stars, a lame one-sheet makes you cringe, and your buzz begins to wane. On the other hand, a film and creators you've never heard of might have a poster that makes you instantly curious. Some click, some don't -- and a good poster doesn't a good film make. And vice versa. That in mind, check out my favourite posters of 2009: Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani Sure we have nine shots of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif in the poster, but they're looking (mostly) far from conventional screen lovers, goofing off in a range of candids that end up looking like a comic book made out of polaroids. Neat. Image: A poster of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani |

Akshay Kumar has frequently gone on record to say that he signed this film based on the poster, and while that isn't the most sound school of thought (see review), it sure is a terrific poster, featuring a chef too swashbuckling to be true. Image: A poster of Chandni Chowk To China |

Much was made of the poster with Abhay Deol and the big lips, but it was way too overdone and shock value really isn't everything, even on a poster. This wine-red stunner, on the other hand, featuring him with Mahie Gill, is both sensual and surreal and instantly intriguing. Image: A poster of Dev D |

Women around the country have gone on and on about this poster, drooling at the sight of a sprinting Shahid Kapoor, buff as the horse you can vaguely see next to him. And what makes the Shahid gallop truly striking are the blinkers he's wearing around his intense eyes. No distractions. Image: A poster of Kaminey |

Looking initially like a coffee advert, there's a lot that's wrong with this poster: For one, it makes a cutting chai glass seem dated, and assumes that Love is a more modern word than Pyaar. Still, the poster catches the eye, and its not everyday that a film starring two major stars doesn't show off a proper glimpse of them. Image: A poster of Love Aaj Kal |
