Even though the Box office might have not made big profits this year as many flicks came and went without much notice but there was something that still remained alive in the B town and that were the controversies that compensated well for the onscreen spice factor.

The Khans were as usual on the top of this list as Salman, Shahrukh and Aamir.

Aamir's 3 idiots by Rajkumar Hirani was a thorough success at the BO but amidst this there was big controversy related to the fight for credits between Chetan Bhagat the writer of 3 Mistakes of my life on which the movie was much based.

Chetan was upset about the fact that his name featured at the end of the credits section even though the movie was inspired by his book.

In defense to this Hirani said that the inspiration was only in parts and that the writer had accepted this from the very beginning.

In the middle of this fight Aamir plunged in to support Hirani and called Bhagat a liar while Vidhu Vinod Chopra pelted wordy stones at the media by asking a journalist to shut up and having to later apologize for the same.

Following 3idiots, Peepli Live was the next for Aamir which was also packed with controversies as the director of the movie Anusha Rizvi had some issues with her husband over their joint efforts and credits in the movie.

Then it was turn for Shahrukh who after being detained at the airport in US was all over the news segments.

Then the robin hood of Dabangg had a tough time as stated that it is not Pakistan who should be held responsible for the attacks of 26/11 only having to later apologize for the words.
