Top 10 Hindi Movies of 2013

Here goes the list of my top 10 Hindi films of 2013 [from among what I have seen] - Not necessarily in any order

Special 26

Intelligent scripting, great direction made this retro-thriller not only click at the Box Office but also a critic favorite

Shuddh Desi Romance

A quirky Rom-Com made memorable by the lead cast, especially Parineeti Chopra

 

 Shahid

Movie based on the tragic real life story of activist-lawyer Shahid Azmi - hard hitting and powerful

 

 Lootera

A Beautiful tragic love story, definitely one of the best of 2013 if not the best. Great acting, direction, locations, music etc made the film something to cherish. We also saw classy avatar of the massy Sonakshi Sinha

 

The Lunchbox

Critic's favorite movie of 2013, the surprise hit of the year. Terrific perfomances by Irrfan, Namrata, Nawazudin, a film that touched every one in one way or the other.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns
 
 A sequel that was as good as the prequel. Good crime-romance-thriller-drama

 

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag

A biopic on the life of Flying Sikh Milkha Singh with knock out acting by Farhan Akthar.

 

Kai Po Che

A Good film can be made from a bad/average source material was proved by KPC.

 

Raanjhanaa

another beautiful tragic romantic saga of 2013 made special by AR Rahman songs and great Bollywood debut by Dhanush

 

Madras Café

A fictionalized version of events leading to Rajiv Gandhi assassination. a gripping thriller, well made too

Honorable mentions Ankur Arora Murder Case, Sixteen, Aashiqui 2, Ram-Leela, Fukrey, ABCD, Ghanchakkar,  [Haven't seen 'Ship of Thesus']

 These are the Hindi movies I liked the most this year, may not necessarily be 'the best of 2013'
