This was the year of the upstarts! New studios making risky films won out by far over the old reliables. And none was riskier than our winner, Colour Yellow. Well, maybe Phantom, the runner up.

You know what I find really interesting, looking at these? The two studios that won were also the studios that produced the most films. I don’t think it is an exact relationship, that’s not why we voted for them. But I do think that if you make more films, it is a sign that you are willing to take more risks. And those risks eventually pay off with some very good films.
Versus Dharma and Balaji, playing it safe with just a few steady reliable films.

Since I have only a vague understanding what being a “Banner” means, I go for the one with the coolest name. Dharma wins.

Dharma might also have the coolest logo.
