Item numbers continued their reign in 2012 as a flurry of fast-beat, sexy dance songs hit the Bollywood music scene this past year. The styles ranged from traditional village songs and mujras to modern club hits and Punjabi beats. The sheer volume of item songs in 2012 was almost astounding, and the BollySpice team had a difficult time choosing just five. Therefore one thing is clear: item numbers are most definitely back and here to stay. As we look forward to more item number masala in 2013, let’s recap the fab five of 2012.

5. ‘Kaafirana a.k.a I Want Just You’ (Joker)

It’s hard to appreciate anything from the flop film Joker starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha. If there was one highlight of the movie, it was Chitrangadha Singh’s item number ‘Kaafirana’. The song was initially surrounded by controversy when the original version, titled ‘I Want Fakht You’ was leaked online.

Prabhu Deva who has made a surprise guest appearance in a dance item with Akshay Kumar in Rowdy Rathore, would be soon doing another film with Salman Khan. The two worked together in Wanted. At the Ipl inauguration earlier this week in Chennai, Salman met Prabhu Deva with much warmth and discussed a film they'd be doing. When asked about his dancing cameo in Rowdy Rathore, Prabhu shies away from a direct admission. "Let my appearance be a surprise. If I reveal everything now, who would want to see my film?" We can also play a spoilsport by revealing that Prabhu Deva has choreographed a sizzling-hot item song in Rowdy Rathore featuring Mumaith Khan who danced her way to fame with the 'Seekh Le' number in Munnabhai Mbbs, and Mariam Zakaria who accompanied Kareena Kapoor in her disco-Mujra in Agent Vinod. There's also a third item girl named Sakhti in the item song.

I suppose I've grown jaded to the wacky action in south Indian movie trailers.  Over the last month or so not many have gotten be excited.  Even the recent Panjaa from Tollywood, which was a huge release, had a so-so trailer in my eyes.
