Top 10 Female Actors of 2008 (Bollywood)

[supercool]

2008 was a year when quite a few newcomers made a mark in their very first film. Actors like Anushka, Asin, Adah and Prachi Desai made a thumping impression while Genelia D'Souza saw a revival in her career with JAANE TU JAANE NAA. Katrina Kaif got her hits but there wasn't a single performance that could make the cut into the Top-10 of the year while big guns like Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai, Bipasha Basu and Kajol continued to reign. Following list consists some of the best performances by a female actor in the year gone by.

Lets share to TOP 10 too

10) Prachi Desai (ROCK ON)

Her foray into the big screen was much welcomed with ROCK ON. An unconventional way to begin her Bollywood innings, what with playing the part of a married woman and no romantic angle per se, Prachi Desai was courageous enough to take a plunge into a film that had a director (Abhishek Kapoor) with a flop tag (ARYAN - THE UNBREKABLE) to his name. Still, with people like Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani, Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy attached to the project, she got herself a start with ROCK ON. The ploy worked and how! With a restrained performance, she was the person who got a certain 'thehrav' to the rocking proceedings of ROCK ON. The million dollar question is - 'Will she be able to be a part of the glam brigade from here on?'

9) Ehsaas Channa (PHOONK)

The youngest of the lot, Ehsaas impressed one and all with her performance of a girl who was possessed due to black magic at work. Coming up with one of the most intense performances of the year, Ehsaas was a revelation as a girl actor after working in quite a few films where she was required to portray a boy. One wonders how she would have worked upon her psyche after being a part of cinema where her character was required to go through tumultuous times. Director Ram Gopal Varma yet again succeeded in extracting a brilliant performance out of an actor and one now looks forward to how this girl would announce her arrival as a lead actress a decade from now.

	ADAH SHARMA IN 1920

8) Adah Sharma (1920)

It was the year when possessed females made an impression on the big screen. If Ehsaas was psyched, Adah Sharma was indeed scary, what with her character being almost a cannibal in appeal. Made to play a part which could turn violent, riotus, frightened and ferocious at regular intervals, Adah surprised in this horror flick by Vikram Bhatt. Not just she helped the director break the jinx of a dozen odd flops that he had delivered before 1920; she also announced an arrival, albeit a low key, to Bollywood. Though she was mostly non-glam in 1920 and was made to wear the costumes that were in vogue a century ago, one looks forward to see her look entirely different in the upcoming films of hers that are set in contemporary times.

7) Asin (GHAJINI)

She has worked in more than a dozen odd films down South but had to wait a while before the best opportunity came her way in the form of GHAJINI. Though she had to recreate the emotions of the original GHAJINI in which she had already starred, she did it with full gusto in the reprised version as well. Going through a gamut of emotions that required her to be naughty as well as emotional at heart, she didn't disappoint. Her most remembered scenes would the light hearted ones that she shared with Aamir and her death scene. However, one waits to see many more histrionics from her in her upcoming films. A little more touch of glamour would only help the cause.
