| Major hits make 2006 year of blockbuster for Bollywood
Mumbai, Dec 25. (PTI): It has been the year of the blockbuster. Whether it is the fiery "Rang De Basanti", the wisdom spouting Munnabhai or the smooth conman in "Dhoom 2", audiences brought unprecedented revenue for Bollywood. Some of the decade's biggest blockbusters were witnessed this year with film revenue touching unprecedented heights. The Hrithik Roshan-Aishwarya Rai film from the Yashraj stable "Dhoom 2" reportedly earned Rs 110 crore within the first three weeks of its release. The new year, however, looks equally exciting for the industry with Ashutosh Gowariker's magnum opus "Akbar Jodha", again starring Hrithik and Aishwarya Rai, and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much awaited "Saanwariya" that will see the debut of Ranbir Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor's son) and Sonam (Anil Kapoor's daughter).

Ashutosh Gowariker isn't worried about Aishwarya-Hrithik's image
