Mumbai, Dec 30 (PTI) Bollywood filmmakers have picked James Cameron's epic sci-fi adventure 'Avatar' as their favourite film of 2009, overlooking homegrown hits like 'Paa' and '3 Idiots'.

Some of Bollywood's biggest names including Karan Johar and Ram Gopal Verma have given their thumps up to the blockbuster.

"I have four favourites this year, 'Kaminey', 'Paa', '3 Idiots' and 'Avatar'. All four raised the bars for filmmaking.

But while the first three were aspirational, 'Avatar' was unachievable," said Karan Johar.

Director Apoorva Lakhia called it an "out of this world experience" while Bollywood's maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma was so impressed by the film that he decided to equate Cameron with God for creating the magnum opus.

The 3D blockbuster shows a race of blue-skinned giants inhabiting an Earth-like moon called Pandora.

"James Cameron has gone a step ahead of God by building a world even God couldn't imagine.
