How did 2004 treat Bollywood?

A Still from 'Ek Haseena Thi'

Critically acclaimed but mixed results
Quite a few movies impressed the critics but didn't necessarily get the same response from the 'aam junta'. Case in point being 'Phir Milenge' that would have the dubious distinction of the most acclaimed film of the year with minimum dividends in return commercially.

'Yuva' too got rave reviews in certain sections of the industry with similar trends in terms of results as well. 'Ek Haseena Thi' was a brave attempt at film making and in spite of all its strengths, it met with an average success. 'Morning Raga', 'Raincoat' and 'Khamosh Pani' were screened only at select multiplexes with only 'Raincoat' fetching some decent box office figures.

Crossover films
Now this is one genre that turned out to be the least exciting of 2004. While everyone pined their hope on 'Bride and Prejudice' to be THE ONE movie that would form a bridge between Bollywood and the rest of the world, it was disheartening to see the movie turned out to be a failure in India.
