Another path-breaker was Shoojit Sircar's ‘Vicky Donor', with the male protagonist playing the role of a sperm donor, a profession still considered a taboo. The film's music and Delhi-setting was loved by the audience.
Anurag Kashyap's two-part epic ‘Gangs of Wasseypur' was a resounding success. With a rural crime setting, lot of violence and not so famous faces, the film impressed both the critics and the audience. The film was even screened at the prestigious Cannes film festival.
Irrfan Khan-starrer ‘Paan Singh Tomar', story of an athlete-turned-rebel, and Akshay Kumar's ‘Oh My God', a satire on certain religious beliefs, found resonance both among the critics and audience.
