Most
of
the
commercial
potboilers
in
Bollywood
industry
are
hated
by
the
critics
because
it
lacks
logic
and
so
on.
Very
rarely
do
the
critics
and
fans
both
end
up
enjoying
the
same
movie,
but
today
we
are
going
to
list
those
films
of
2014
that
have
been
loved
by
both.
The
year
started
off
with
a
string
of
flop
movies,
even
Salman
Khan's
Jai
Ho
did
not
achieve
much
success
in
comparison
to
his
other
movies
but
then
finally
Imitiaz
Ali's
Highway
starring
Alia
Bhatt
and
Randeep
Hooda
released
which
proved
to
be
like
a
breath
of
fresh
air
for
both
critics
and
fans
who
were
desperately
waiting
for
a
flawless,
entertaining
good
movie.
Highway
not
just
impressed
the
audience
but
the
fans
fell
in
love
with
it
too,
so
it
became
the
first
critically
acclaimed
movie
of
2014
which
was
a
Box
Office
hit
as
well.
After
this
a
number
of
good
movies
released
through
the
year
like
Queen,
Mardaani
and
Mary
Kom
which
were
Box
Office
hits
as
well
as
critically
acclaimed.
With
these
movies,
the
women
of
Bollywood
came
into
power
for
all
these
movies
were
women
oriented
and
achieved
major
success.
Close
to
the
year
end,
in
October
we
saw
the
release
of
Vishal
Bharadwaj's
Haider
which
not
only
managed
to
make
profit
but
it
was
loved
by
both
fans
and
critics.
It
was
a
visual
treat
that
touched
our
souls
with
it's
brilliant
picturization.
Though
it
got
a
strong
fight
from
Hrithik's
Bang
Bang,
Haider
managed
to
hold
ground
which
proves
that
good
cinema
do
get
their
due.
Next
up
is
Bhopal:
A
Prayer
For
Rain,
based
on
a
real
life
incident
that
took
place
30
years
ago
in
India.
Already
we
can
smell
the
success
of
this
movie
which
is
releasing
on
5th
December.
