The Countdown Begins
Hope you all had a fantastic Xmas and the Jolly Bolly Santa was good to you. He was to us ...we are having a fantabolous time sitting in for Nihal you guys have had us in stitches - hope you are enjoying the shows! So what are your New Year's resolutions?
Raj's Resolutions: Get a SRK six pack, trunks like John's and go topless for the summer! Predictions; Neil Nitin Mukesh will make a breakthrough and Akshay willÌý outshine both Aamir and SRK.
Pablo's Resolutions: Get an Aamir eight pack and hairdo. My predictions are that Harman will finally make the grade after Love Story 2050.
We had a fab time on Saturday on the programme - Anoushka was great, do have a listen again! With the New Year almost upon us heres what ourÌýhits and misses were for 2008.
Raj'sÌýFive Best:

Raj'sÌýFive Worst:
-
Drona
-
Abhishek Bachcan plays a rather grumpy superhero
-
Kay Kay Menon was apparently the most expensive villain in Bollywood, he wasn't worth it!
-
Priyanka Chopra learnt Ghatka for her role as Drona's bodygaurd, what a shame her hard work didn't pay off and make the film a hit.
-
Jaya Bachcan plays Drona's mother.
-
Money Hai To Honey Hai

Govinda, Govinda, Govinda - what more can I say?
-
Also starred Manoj Bajpai, Aftab Shivdesani, Upen "token British actor" Patel, and Celina Jaitley.

-
Hansika was 19 when she was paired opposite Govinda!
-
Karzzz
-
Another remake, another flop.
-
Himesh tries to take on the role of Monty which was once played by Rishi Kapoor.
-
why did they bother? Even the extras looked bored.
-
Mere Baap Pehle Aap
-
Akshaye Khanna, Genelia D'Souza and Paresh Rawal plus Priyadarshan equals FLOP!
-
Maan Gaye Mughal e Azam
-
It was supposed to be a comedy.
-
Starring Malaika Sherawat, Rahul Bose and Paresh Rawal.
-
It spoofed Mughal E Azam a bit.
Ìý

Fashion
-
Madhur Bhandarkar's take on the Fashion Industry.
-
Priyanka Chopra plays a girl from Chandigar who moves to Mumbai with dreams of becoming a supermodel!

Dostana
-
Karan Johar produces this comedy with a cheeky twist!

-
Priyanka Chopra also stars and is seen in a shimmering swimsuit whilst John is seen in yellow trunks emerging out of the sea like a water god!
Pablo'sÌýFive Worst
-
Mehbooba
-
Manisha Koirala's return to the big screen proved to be a bit of a damp squib really
-
Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan couldn't save this one.
-
I think they may have been going for a romantic epic, but this was disaster of Titanic proportions! The ship not the movie!
-
Woodstock Villa
-
Sikandar Kher didn't really make a mark in Bollywood, unlike his filmi parents.
-
So it was meant to be a thriller but it didn't really thrill me.
-
Neha Oberoi, Arbaaz Khan and Sanjay Dutt also made appearances.
-
Gumnaam
-
Starring Mahima Chaudhary, Suman Ranganathan and Dino Morea.
-
It was supposed to be a mystery...the only thing that's mysterious about it is why it took four years to get a release, and it so wasn't worth it!
-
The film follows an aspiring actress...
-
The action sequences in this flick were choreographed the same guy who worked on Dhoom.
-
Mere Baap Pehle Aap
-
Directed by the one and only Priyadarshan.
-
Starring Paresh Rawal, Akshaye Khanna and Genilia D'Souza.

-
Karzzz
-
The Remake of Subash Ghai's Rishi Kapoor starrer.
-
Himesh Reshamaiya takes up the role of Monty.
-
Ravi Verma was played by Dino Morea.
-
If you were Dino Morea and was reborn as Himesh wouldn't you feel a bit cheated?
-
Himesh showed off his new hair in this flick.
-
Urmilla Matondkar took up the role the Simi Garewal originally did.
