Raja Sen in Mumbai

Another year come and gone, and another set of great performances. The following list isn't your usual set of leading women, it's just an awestruck look at the year's ten best female acting jobs. Ladies, bravo.

10. Aditi Rao Hyder

This wonderfully fresh-faced girl didn't have much screentime in Delhi 6, but just seeing her poignant portrayal of a divorced young woman made us wish the film told her story instead.

Her character is a sad one, yet Aditi throws up moments of genuine hope in the way she looks at her family.
