Of the four releases last year, Naach bombed at the box office. The other Diwali biggies were winners.

Yash Chopra made a directorial comeback with Veer-Zaara after seven years, and it paid off.

Abbas-Mastan's Aitraaz established Priyanka Chopra in the big league of actresses and brought her such offers like Farhan Akhar's Don, Rituparno Ghosh's Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam, Rakesh Roshan's Krrish and Farah Khan's Happy New Year.

Mughal-e-Azam, which was re-released in colour, was the biggest hit of the four.
