The third important female discovery was Mugdha Godse. Bold and uninhibited, she stood her ground in "Fashion" in spite of an author-backed part for Priyanka Chopra.
Prachi Desai, a fourth fabulous female debutante came earlier during the year. With her sweet and tender big-screen debut in "Rock On", she proved that television stars do shine in cinema.
The myth that television actors falter and fall while making that transition was broken twice over in 2008. Not just Prachi but also Rajeev Khandelwal, who made a powerful debut in "Aamir", along with first time director Rajkumar Gupta. The debutant filmmaker emblazoned his name with a tale of terrorism that travelled the tormented streets of Mumbai in scampering motions.
In the field of direction, if "Aamir" gave us a camera-worthy director in Gupta, two more directors dabbling in terrorism - Nishikant Kamat in "Mumbai Meri Jaan" and Neeraj Pandey in "A Wednesday" - came out with flying colours.
Indeed 2008 was the year of deep directorial impact. Abhishek Kapoor, who had once acted in a film called "Uff! Yeh Mohabbat" with his then girlfriend Twinkle Khanna in the lead, was resurrected as the man behind "Rock On!".
For all practical purposes this was Abhishek's beginning as a director and what a debut!
Ditto "Munnabhai" writer-turned-director Abbas Tyrewala, who shone in meteoric motions in the inspiring company of his debut-making hero Imran Khan in "Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na"
