Though the quality and the outcome of the films released in 2008 have higher scope than the usual bollywood movies, "Jodhaa Akbar" is still a question mark out to the industry. The Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya starrer started in a very slow pick up in the market,now it is running to gain the losses it has made out to the producer and the film maker.

GURU: - It is an interesting fact to note that Aishwarya Rai was a part of "Guru",a Mani Ratnam movie which made a higher profit for the film maker during the same period last year. This movie was the super hit during the first quarter of the last year. Though it was only 40% collections in the morning shows, it slowly picked up the market and started to run efficiently.

JODAA AKBAR: - The film was believed to be a success and a mega hit as it not only runs in cities and multiplexes but also runs in small towns successfully. Money is continuously pouring to the team from the overseas sector. The film's ban in Madhya Pradesh was removed which will make the film reach greater hights. Even before the release of the movie, it reached the news headlines due to the controversy in the content of the movie.

It is so stunning to hear a trade observer say that there are theatre owners in small towns who make small hand posters to make the film successful. After a long time the bollywood is successful in connecting to the audiences from all classes.

In small sectors the collections were only ranging from 20 to 30 percent but the response from the audience made it possible to improve the income of the film. In Britain the money has been pouring from the overseas market as well from the movie.

Before "Jodaa Akbar" hit the screens there was a drop down in the business. Eventhough the film had the best performances and good content, audience were not in the position to goto the movie due to the cold weather conditions as reported by an observer. "Super star" and "Mithya" got a mind blowing reviews from the media.

Following the path of "Om shanti om", both the films tried to hit the world of film making with greater expectations. But "super star" tried to put in more content to the audience which made it a tough job to swallow.

Though the film had a good opening it could not withstand for the expectations of the audience due to the insufficient stars in the movie. The film got better reports and made good collections in the multiplexes which granted a hope for the movies with toughly solid content.

RAMA RAMA KYA HAI DRAMAAA: - This was another which tried to strike out "Jodaa Akbar" but could not withstand though it hit small screens and ran well on small towns.

AJAY DEVGAN'S MOVIES: - "Halla Bol" and "Sunday" were the two movies released in the early january which are Ajay Devgan's attempt to hit the market. "Halla Bol" had good heart in the content but could not make a strike to the audience.Similarly "Sunday" also failed to satisfy the audience although it had many actors with best performances and comic sense. Ajay can be shortly seen in the next movie "U Me Aur Hum".

BOMBAY TO BANGKOK: - This was the worst flop of the year.Nagesh Kukonoor who was known for making small busget movies failed this time to hit the minds of the audiences.

MY NAME IS ANTHONY GONSALVES: - E. Niwas, the director was expected to hit the screens but he too failed along side with other co-directors.

TAARE ZAMEEN PAR and RETURN OF HANUMAN: - The film focussed fully on the children continues to run with good profit even in the examination season.

RACE: - The biggest release was this movie which had the stars Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna and Bobby Deol along with the hottest actresses Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu and Sameera Reddy.
