The hit Sarkar combination of Amitabh Bachchan and Ram Gopal Varma came together in Nishabd. RGV introduced hottie, Jiah Khan, in his apparent remake of the controversial book and film, Lolita.

Many filmmakers spaced their films around TRRP, Yash Raj's first release of the year.

No one wanted their film to release on the same day, as everyone expected it to be a hit. Namastey London was released in the midst of the Cricket World Cup, as the makers feared their prospects opposite the Yash Raj film.

TRRP director Siddharth Raj Anand had earlier made the hit, Salaam Namaste. But the film bombed.

Shahid Kapur may have hoped that his film, Fool N Final was rake in the moolah. But instead, it bombed.

Though the songs were catchy, and the film starred Sunny Deol as well, director Ahmed Khan could not make his film work.

Madhuri Dixit's comeback was said to be one of the big events of the year.

But sadly, Aaja Nachle had a poor box office opening, and only made news for the wrong reasons.

All her 2007 releases -- Ta Ra Rum Pum, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Saawariya and Lagaa Chunari Mein Daag -- bombed.

Laaga looked especially bad for her because she had the central role; there was no male lead, except for a special appearance from Abhishek Bachchan.

Ram Gopal Varma took a huge gamble by remaking one of Hindi cinema's best films, Sholay. He even attched his name to the venture. Unfortunately, it did not pay.

RGV's Sholay was called one of the worst films he had ever made.

Amitabh Bachchan, the only star from the original film to be a part of the new one, faced a lot of flak from viewers as well as Bollywood itself, for being part of the debacle.

This was the first big flop of the year.

Salaam-E-Ishq starred the who's who of Bollywood -- from Salman Khan, Govinda, Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Juhi Chawla to Vidya Balan -- and was expected to do well.

It was directed by the man who gave us Kal Ho Naa Ho, produced by Karan Johar, and this was supposed to be his first big film outside the Dharma Productions banner.

Shankar-Loy-Ehsaan's music was a big hit.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra's film earned great reviews, and was even sent as India's official entry to the Oscars.

But the film was a commercial disaster. Even Amitabh Bachchan and Saif Ali Khan's star power could not save Eklavya.

Saawariya

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film was one of the most awaited films of the year. It was supposed to be the big launch of star kids, Sonam Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor.

Besides, the Hollywood studio, Sony Pictures, was making its debut in Bollywood.

The film released during Diwali, along with Om Shanti Om. While the latter went on to become one of the biggest hits of the year, Saawariya was the biggest flop.
