Greatest Dozen
While almost every Raag of Hindustani Classical music has been adopted for composing music of Bollywood songs, if there is one Raag that stands out, it is Raag Bhairavi, which is by far the most common of these Raagas in Bollywood songs. It also derives a particularly special place of honor, since it is this raag which was the first to be used in 1935 in what was perhaps the first great song of Bollywood.

Best Actor Heroes
As an industry, Bollywood depends immensely upon the appeal of its stars, and to that extent, their contribution to the popularity and expanse of Bollywood cannot be negated. The single largest pillar of Bollywood is the lead hero, who is always the biggest star, sometimes a superstar. Acting by itself is hardly a criteria for stardom, and yet, no one can become a star unless he has certain degrees of extraordinary acting skills. Actually, the screen representation of a character on the celluloid combines one's acting skills with the qualities of one's persona. This is why almost every star is fit more for certain types of roles than others. It is here that some of the lesser actors become so mesmerizing, by their ability to don any role and do justice with it.
