I didnt find Tum Mile to be as great. Its an OK album. As far as awards go, no album this year is even nearer to Delhi 6 standard. So Delhi 6 is the obvious winner for me. Though there are other albums which have been brilliant as well. I absolutely loved kaminey. Dev D and Gulaal are also superb,. If i have to make a top5 list this year, it would be
1. Delhi 6 2. Kaminey 3. Blue 4. Dev D 5. Gulaal On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 5:16 PM, ichord <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I never said I would be happy if Tum Mile won over D6.
