2006 was the most successful year in the recent past as far as the BOX-OFFICE results are concerned. It even came up with some new subjects, and thankfully, even audience showed great interest in all of them.
I am not going to list my fav films of 2006, as it would be too risky to name them. reason - KANK features there somewhere in the list [ no. I am not going to tell you at which position ]. What I am actually going to do is to revisit the biggest films of last year in terms of credibilty and making waves in the industry.
