Here is a list of the Bollywood films that made a lasting impact for me. The year saw many money spinners like Chennai Express, Krrish 3, Dhoom 3, Dabaang 2 (Dec2012) crossing the 100 and 200 crore revenue but my list is not based on just the box office performance alone. Read through and do comment if I have missed out to include any film in your opinion that should have found a place in my list.

The Lunch Box : A beautifully crafted romantic tale of two people whose romance blossom without meeting each other, this Ritesh Batra film deserved full marks. Irfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur acted brilliantly to make the film an outstanding one.

Shahid : A powerful film that depict the real life drama of criminal lawyer Shahid Azmi who fought for people wrongly branded as terrorists. A thought provoking movie, Shahid stood out for a brilliant script and top acting of Raajkumar as the protagonist.

Madras Cafe : The ethnic civil war in Srilanka is presented in a gripping manner in this Shoojit Sircar film. A thriller with commando and undercover operations in the backdrop, Madras Cafe is one film that makes you sit through and watch the entire film with no boredom.

Sathyagraha : A powerful political thriller by Prakash Jha, the film takes on corruption plaguing the system. Though a repetitive work similar to director's previous films, Sathyagraha held the limelight for powerful performance from Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan and Manoj Bajpai.

Shudh Desi Romance : A romantic comedy that offered fun and enjoyment, the film deviated from the traditional and stereotype way of presenting such a plot in Bollywood. Rishi Kapoor, Susanth Singh, Parineeti Chopra and Vaani Kapoor did total justice to their respective roles to make the film a memorable one.

Ram Leela : Brought back Sanjay Leela Bansali back in business, the film inspired from Shakespeare classic Romeo and Juliet, Ram Leela was presented with colourful and bright frames to make the love story a visually pleasing one.

D-Day : Operation Goldman, the hunt for the most wanted man in India is presented with a variety in this thriller directed by Nikhil Advani. Apart from direction, Rishi Kapoor came out with blazing performance to steal the show well supported by Irfan Khan, Arjun Rampal and Huma Qureshi.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag : A biopic on the legendary Milkha Singh, BMG is a work from Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra and the film is one of the best release of the year, credits to the director, script writer Prasoon Joshi and of course Farhaan Akthar appearing in the title character role.

Kai Po Che : A film on friendship and based on Chetan Bagat's famous novel, 3 mistakes of my life. Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, the story is set up against the Godra riots and earthquake in Gujarat where the friendship of three is tested.

Mere Dad Ki Maruti : A family entertainer with a humorous touch, the film is good for a time pass with quite a few fun filled moments giving us a laugh right through.

Saheb Biwi aur Gangster Returns : Riveting performance and powerful dialogues made this film stand apart from the rest. Irfan Khan, Jimmy Shergill and Mahie Gill portray the three title roles with conviction and perfection.

Lootera : An intense romantic drama happening in the early part of 1950's, Lootera by Vikramaditya Motwane is a classic romantic tale of an archaeologist and daughter of a landlord in Bengal. Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha came up with their best to make Lootera a memorable film of the year.

Raanjhnaa : Narrated the one sided love story of a brahmin boy and a muslim girl and with AR Rahman giving us songs worth hearing again, Ranjhnaa deserves a watch with the way the story has been presented and exploiting Banaras as a location to the maximum. The second half where the story shift the focus from romance to a serious political revolution spoiled the mood a bit though.
