It was the first year in a while that we got to see two Aamir Khan movies -- Rang De Basanti and Fanaa. The first movie created a nationwide stir, and both films were resounding hits. Rang De Basanti is India's official entry for the Oscars -- the second time an Aamir movie has gone to the Academy.

Aamir made news off the screen as well, declaring his support for the Narmada Bachao Andolan and Bhopal gas victims' struggle for justice. It earned him a few enemies too, with the Bharatiya Janata Party banning Fanaa in Gujarat.

But despite his perfectionist ways -- which sometimes don't go down too well with his directors and detractors -- he remains one of India's biggest, most bankable stars.
