WATCH: Salman's Sultan to Aamir's Dangal, Hrithik-Kangana, all that made news in 2016

2016 saw some major highs and some terrible lows all throughout the year as far Bollywood is concerned. India Today Deputy Editor Sushant Mehta gives you the lowdown on all that which made the headlines in the world of entertainment.

First up, January saw Akshay Kumar's Airlift getting critical and commercial acclaim while Farhan Akhtar and Amitabh Bachchan's big release Wazir flopped big time. Sonam Kapoor-starrer Neerja wowed audiences and critics alike while Kapoor & Sons received unanimous acclaim.

Shah Rukh's Fan left critics and, well, fans polarised while ahead of his big release Sultan, Salman Khan miffed one and all with his rape remark. Meanwhile, the censor board got into loggerheads with the producers of Udta Punjab. The film was eventually released.

August saw the first clash of the titans of 2016: Between Akshay's Rustom and Hrithik's Mohenjo Daro. The second clash between Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Shivaay put the country's patriotism at stake.

Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut chose to wash their dirty laundry in public. And Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan became parents to baby Taimur.

The year ended with Aamir Khan-starrer Dangal breaking records at the box office.
