5. Kajol in Gupt
Rajiv Rai's blockbuster Gupt was a rarity in desi parts, a pretty authentic whodunnit.
Woven around a killer melodramatically offing people testifying against Bobby Deol, the man who all the circumstantial evidence was pointing towards, it's not all that hard to see the twist coming -- the killer is indeed the aforementioned actress, murdering because of a crush -- but Kajol's performance managed to elevate the film's climax and take it to a popcorn-friendly crescendo.
