year ender

From Suhana Khan and Khushi Kapoor to Palak Tiwari and Shehnaaz Gill, have a look at the promising debuts made this year

That 2012 began with an overwrought hyper-melodramatic brutal and tumultuous remake of <em>Agneepath</em> and ended with Yash Chopra’s muted mellow all-heart-no-malice ode to romance <em>Jab Tak Hai Jaan</em> seems indicative of the direction that Bollywood seems headed for. The journey, as we can see, is unpredictable and largely exciting. Looking back some films of 2012 that fetched hype-star ratings seem bloated and over-eager to please either critics or the masses. Never both. Luckily the films that were truly meritorious did get a place under the swoon.
