While last year was a huge year for Bollywood at the box office, this year was a great one as far as content is concerned. This year 19 films crossed the 60% mark (for the top 20 films of 2007, click here), while only 14 were able to cross that mark in both 2006 (for the top 20 films of 2006, click here) and 2005 (for the top 20 films of 2005, click here). However, when all was said and done, Black Friday (80%) emerged as the Best Overall Film Of 2007, while Taare Zameen Par (77%) emerged as the Best Popular Film of 2007.

Black Friday was the best reviewed film since 2006's Lage Raho Munnabhai (81%). The film, about the Mumbai bomb blasts in 2003, was both dark and violent, however was extremely well made and lauded by critics. Although the film failed at the box office, the reviews were very good, as with 33 critics reviews the film received, 32 were positive and 1 was negative. Director Anurag Kashyap was unable to follow up the quality of Black Friday as his later films, No Smoking (32%) and Hanuman Returns (54%), didn't fare near as well with the critics.
