As half of the year has gone by, here we bring you the half yearly report of Bollywood movies. Around more than 100 films are released in last 6 months and only around 8 films can be touted as plus films. Year has been disappointing so far as few biggies also been released but performed much below the expected levels. Year saw many big stars such as Akshay Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Deepika Padukone and many others. But year definitely belong to Kangana Ranaut, Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.

No doubt Kangana took all the credit for the year with Blockbuster Hit Tanu Weds Manu Returns. She has shot to Top with it and there is no second thought about that. Year has been nice for Deepika Padukone also as she has given solo Super Hit in Piku. This re-affirms her stardom which she is enjoying right now. Shraddha Kapoor is one to look out for future as this lady has again given major Hit with ABCD 2.

Coming to boys again Varun Dhawan lead all actors this year by a mile. Who would have predicted that 6 month earlier. His two films are released this year and one is Hit (Badlapur) and another is heading for Super Hit (ABCD 2) status. he can't simply go wrong at the moment. Year is somewhat average for Akshay Kumar as both his films (Baby and Gabbar) released this year is plus films, but has failed to touch 100 crore mark. Year is absolutely forgettable for Ranbir Kapoor as his two important releases (Roy and Bombay Velvet) are Flops. His stardom has Hit rock bottom this year so far and will need some getting to bounce back big time.
