As 2010 comes to an end, it is time to look back and see how the alluring world of Bollywood spent the entire year. Supriyo Hazra recalls the ups and downs of the tinsel town, its the newcomers, the also- rans and the surprise packages:

Aamir Khan: His fans thought that maybe Aamir will come up with another bang this year in December as well, as he has been doing for the past two years, but it remained a silent year for Mr. Perfectionist with not a single commercial films getting released. However, his fans got a feel of his perfection in his production 'Peepli Live', earlier this year.

The comic satire on farmer suicides was India's official entry to the Oscars in the Best Foreign Film category though debutante director Anusha Rizvi seemed unfazed by the hype amid rumours of falling out with Aamir. Aamir was also busy working in his wife Kiran Rao's film titled Dhoobi Ghat' where he will be seen in the lead role.

Ajay Devgan: 2010 was perhaps the best year for Ajay Devgan as he was appreciated in nearly all the movies he worked this year. Nearly all his films released this year- 'Rajneeti', 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbai', 'Golmaal 3, 'Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge' performed well at the Box Office. The year was also important for Ajay and his gorgeous wife Kajol as their second child was born. Kajol gave birth to a baby boy early this year.

Abhishek Bachchan: The Junior Bachchan had a poor run at the box office this year as both his films released in 2010- 'Raavan' and 'Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey', where he portrayed the historical character of freedom fighter 'Surya Sen', failed at the box office. Hopefully 2011 will bring some good news to him.

Akshay Kumar: Akki the original Khiladi of Bollywood was seen in an absolutely new avatar in the small screen as he was seen anchoring a cookery show titled 'Master Chef', judging the participants on cooking skills. All eyes are now on his new release, Tees Mar Khan, a Farah Khan film where Akki is back with his lady luck in box office, Katrina Kaif.

Anil Kapoor: There is good news for all Anil Kapoor fans as the actor is busy shooting opposite Hollywood heart throb Tom Cruise in the upcoming film 'Mission Impossible- Ghost Protocol'. Surely, it will be interesting to see how Anil Kapoor entertains his international fans in the action pact movie, who has already seen him hosting 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' in the Oscar winning movie 'Slumdog Millionaire'.

Emraan Hashmi: 'Serial Kisser' had a mixed 2010 with 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbai' doing very well at the Box Office, while his other release 'Crook- It's Good To Be Bad' failed to impress cine goers. However, there is good news for his fans as a sequel of the film "Murder", titled 'Murder 2' where he will be seen romancing Sri Lankan beauty Jaquiline Fernandez, is in the making.

Hrithik Roshan: Bollywood heart throb Hrithik Roshan had a bad start to the year as his much talked about film 'Kites' failed to tie the audience to their seats. But his next venture 'Guzaarish' impresses the same audience who appreciated Hrithik as the magician Ethan Mascarenhas in the film. The audiences were once again treated to the chemistry of Hrithik and Aishwarya on the celluloid and they loved it.

Imran Khan: Imran was back again in his chocolate hero image after failed attempt in action movies like 'Kidnap' and 'Luck'. Imran was seen romancing the two beautiful ladies of B-town, Deepika and Sonam in 'Break Ke Baad 'and 'I Hate Luv Stories'. Both the films did moderate business at the box office.

John Abraham: The macho actor of B-town had an unimpressive run at the box office this year with all his releases like Aashayein, Jhoota Hi Sahi, and Hook Ya Crook failing miserably at the box office, Hopefully 2011 turns out to be a better year for John.

Neil Nitin Mukesh: Neil Nitin Mukesh had a silent 2010 at the box office as his releases this year which included the name like: 'Lafangey Parindey' failed to impress the film lovers. His 'Tera Kya Hoga Johny' also did not made much of an impact on the audience.

Prateik Babbar: After an impressive performance in his debut Bollywood film 'Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na', Prateik had a learning experience this year as he worked along side Aamir Khan in the film 'Dhobi Ghaat'. The film has been directed by Kiran Rao and is all set to hit the big screen on 2011. He is all over in the promos.

Ranbir Kapoor: Bollywood heart throb Ranbir Kapoor finally shed his chocolate boy image in 2010 and transformed into a matured actor as he portrayed himself in a completely serious look in 'Rajneeti'. He remained the heart throb of 2010

Shahid Kapoor: Shahid Kapoor and his movies may have failed at the box office but he caught the eye balls as speculations went ripe that Shahid has discovered a new love interest in Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra.

Vivek Oberoi: Vivek Oberoi tied the nuptial knot with Priyanka Alva, a business management graduate

Sanjay Dutt: Sanjay Dutt and wife Manyata became parents of twins as her wife gave birth to a boy and a girl.

Salman Khan: Salman Khan created a bang at the box office with his film 'Dabangg' as it broke all box office records in just one week. The movie created a new history by breaking the opening weekend collection record of Aamir Khan's movie '3 Idiots'. Trade reports said 'Dabangg' has collected a massive amount of approximately Rs 48 crore in the opening weekend.

Saif Ali Khan: Perhaps the only thing that featured about Saif Ali Khan this year was all about his relationship with Kareena Kapoor. Apart from that Saif had nothing much significant to do this year as none of his films were released at the box office.

Shah Rukh Khan: King Khan was busy with lots of activities this year. He had brilliant start to the year along with Kajol as their film 'My Name is Khan' performed well at the box office despite all the Shiv Sena threats. Khan also featured in a commercial with wife Gauri for the first time.

However, bad luck seems to follow SRK in the cricketing filed as his team KKR failed once again in the season three of the IPL this year. In 2011, SRK will be back in the small screen with a new reality show named 'Zor Ka Jhatka'. SRK will be seen hosting the show.
