Action's back in Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan's Don 2 was one of 2011's biggest hits, Hrithik Roshan's all bloodshot and gore-ready in this week's release, Agneepath and the new trailer for Saif Ali Khan's Agent Vinod is a must-see.

In a new series of major movie lists, here's my pick for the 25 best Hindi actioners of all-time, in alphabetical order: Ab Tak Chhapan Shimit Amin's first film for Ram Gopal Varma's Factory was a perfectly paced, taut actioner where Nana Patekar played an encounter specialist. A solid firecracker of a film.
