With all eyes on Bollywood, and a whole slew of movies due for release, Bollywood Hungama took up the challenge to chart what are likely to be the biggest blockbusters of 2008. The analysis took the form of an extensive survey (from 18th to 26th July) conducted online amongst those who really matter - the consumers. Spanning regions as diverse as India and South-East Asia to the European Union and USA-Canada, the user had to select his/her 5 most anticipated movies. To ensure complete transparency and accuracy, a three level authentication check with email validation, cookie check and IP mapping was put into place.
The hot list of the Most Awaited Movies of 2008* truly proved to be the voice of the masses, garnering an overwhelming response. A 9-day survey, conducted between 18th July to 26th July, the poll saw 17,11,254 valid responses. Results were compiled based on votes from 67 countries - countries which constitute about 98% of revenue towards Bollywood releases.
The poll threw up several interesting results generating quite a buzz in the industry.

* Bollywood Hungama (earlier www.indiafm.com) has been conducting polls annually to determine the movies which are awaited the most or have a high level of public awareness and interest. The survey does not reflect or tend to predict the performance of the movie at the box office.
