Earlier, we presented Vidya Pradhan's, Madhusudan Hegde's, Tasneem Karbani's, Shahid Khan's and Preran Kurnool's top five.

Here is a list from Sumier Phalake, 26, who works for IBM in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Being Cyrus

Maybe this isn't really a Bollywood film. But it has Bollywood actors, and so features on my list.

Debutant director Homi Adajania gets a lot of things right. Being Cyrus not only has good dialogues and a unique story, it manages to have surprising twists and strong character development. There are some fine performances by Saif Ali Khan, Boman Irani, Simone Singh, Naseeruddin Shah and Dimple Kapadia.

In an era of Emraan Hashmi and Himesh Reshammiya, Being Cyrus gets props for being there in the first place. Who would have thought that a film set in the Parsi community in Mumbai would make for perfect film noir atmosphere?
