7. Farhan Akhtar
He came. He saw. And he rocked. While his capabilities behind the camera were never really in question, Farhan Akhtar took everyone by surprise with an effective display of histrionics and wacky playback skills, in front of it as well.
The transformation from a charged-up lead singer of a blossoming band to an impassive cabin-holding shark in an investment firm wasn't limited to wardrobe alone. In a performance laced with tremendous conflict on the surface, lingering regrets in his snappish tone and the subsequent realization of its futility, Farhan came out on tops.
