The worst movies of this decade:

Now this is going to be far more excruciating and daunting than my last post of 10 best. Simply because 90% stuff churned out by Bollywood is almost mediocre if not trash.

The list is basically consists of the most hyped and the most disappointing, both at the same time. Some of them might not have got such a bad reputation had they were not hyped as the most awaited movie of the year.

Like my pick of the best 10, this one is also a completely personal choice and I know many of you will disagree to at least a couple of them in the list. Let’s see if this goes down well with all of you or not 

1.     1. Mohabbatein: How will you decide what was the biggest flaw with this Adi Chopra fare when the name itself does not exist in any dictionary and was a creation of Adi Chopra’s creative mind. Each love story in this romantic torture was a pain to watch and we had 5 of such nauseating couples if I remember correctly. It was actually a horror movie in the name of romantic movie, with Aish playing the ghost herself. But the humans in the film were more horrifying than the ghost. The most atrocious of all was SRK who was hell-bent on teaching love lesson to anyone he meets in life. How desperate. With all his hamming, stammering and arm stretching pose in all the songs, He created a new bench mark for over acting which only he can overcome. And losers brigade (Shamita Shetty, Uday Chopra, Jugal Hansraj and others) were competing with each other to prove who can look more stupid. But the biggest loser was Adi himself who many years later with RNBDJ proved again that he still has what it takes to make worst possible cinema.

2.      2. Yaadein: Many will say many reasons behind this nightmare called “Yaadein”. Over expectation from Hrithik, Subhash Ghai’s confusion whether he is making a love story or a father-daughter movie. And why the hell the whole movie looked more like an advertisement than a movie. Hero cycle,coke,Paas Paas and many more such commercials in the name of a movie. Nothing worth to keep “yaadein” of in this painful 3 hours.

3.      3. Gadar: The worst possible jingoistic crap possible from Sunny Deol school of cinema. Anil Gadar Sharma took some challenge to take jingoism and extreme chauvinism or nationalism to such a level that nobody else could ever dare to match it. I am no Pak lover but still can’t digest the fact that their Army is so useless that one Indian sardar can make a mockery of it so easily. Gadar had everything possible which is a staple food for any jingo-crap movie. Bad pakistani,a noble and superman like Indian who can take out the hand pump to fight with 500+ men and not get hurt at all in the process. In the form of patriotism, this was the worst possible Deol torture dished out to Indian public. Hope Anil Gadar Sharma’s “Veer” is not a sequel to this.

4.      4. Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon: If there was any text book for overacting, this must be the bible for the same. Hrithik must have committed some sin that he had to don the role of “Prem” but believe me the punishment given to him was 10 times bigger than the sin he might have committed. The less I say about Kareena the better. Even the animated dog and the parakeet in the movie deserve more respect than the whole cast. SB went insane in trying to match the KJs and the chopras in terms of packaging saccharine sweet Indian values with miniskirts, pre marital sex. But boy, how he failed.

5.      5. Mangal Pandey: Nobody knew the fact that Mangal Pandey was in love with a prostitute till this movie was released. Kudos to Ketan for showing us this hitherto hidden fact. Along with Mela, It is a strong contender for the worst movie of Aamir’s career. I still wonder what took Ketan and Aamir 4 years to create such a piece of shit. The torture was painstakingly well above 3 hours which made this movie unbearable even for a blind. It takes hell lots of commitment to create a period drama and this movie showed none such whatsoever.

6.      6. RGV ki aag: This movie is so bad that if I don’t keep it in this list, some people might even kill me for this crime. I think RGV was challenging himself to reach the nadir of crapness with this movie. And why so much fascination with Nisha’s derriere? Everything worked for original Sholay, and nothing really went well for this Aag which burnt almost everyone’s brain. This became the perfect example why classics should never be remade. Because if you can’t better the perfection then why go for low grade stuff.

7.      7. Saanwaria: This was perhaps the first blue film released with a “U” certificate and perhaps the movie could have borrowed its title from another pathetic film “Blue” in this list. Slated to be the most awaited, and rated as the most hated of the year. While designing dreamlike sets, lighting and costumes, SLB completely forgot that he will need a script too. Perhaps real problem was the decision of making a movie out of Dostoevsky’s short story because there was hardly any scope for movie adaption. Only SLB knows what he saw in the story. Ranbir and Sonam could never choose a worse movie as their launch pad.

8.      8. Tashan: This year will be remembered for the agony YRF forced upon the movie goers and “Tashan” will most certainly take the biggest credit in the process. Only Anil Kapoor could comprehend his “Hinglish” in the movie and only he can wear that ugly garb showing his pot belly and mammaries. Kareena was so desperate to show off her newly acquired size zero that she forgot she gets paid for acting also. Someone please ban the director who took every one of us for granted and showed no respect to our intelligence. Somehow Akshay never learnt his lesson and went on to give us many more such eyesores (CCTC, Kambakht Ishq, Blue etc) one after another.

9.      9. Kambakht Ishq: A totally kambakht, mindless drama with two leading actors of bollywood and some out of work stars of Hollywood. Makers could have easily used a bit of big budget on script too if they had cared a little for poor audience. Somebody kill the man who wrote those sexist, racist dialogues?  And why Kareena, being a woman herself, had no issues in mouthing those dirty lines or even doing such a shameful venture which shows woman in worst possible derogatory manner. And what to say for Akshay, he seriously needs some help. Movie was full of women getting slapped, being termed as good for only one thing, sex talks and lowest possible slapstick comedy. If anyone dares to watch a mockery of cinema, this is the perfect stuff for him.

10.  10. Blue: Can we believe that a team of Rehman, Akshay,Sanjay and chicks like Lara and Kylie Minogue can give us headache that no disprin can pacify. Touted to be the most expensive movie ever and turned out to be the silliest of them all. Did they really need such money to make something so foolish? You would choose to sink in the sea than tolerate this painful dose of 3 hours. There was so much build up for the treasure hidden somewhere in the deep blue sea and that only Sanjay Dutt could get to it. The way treasure hunt with no thrill whatsoever was shown, everybody almost banged his head in frustration. We wished some of those sharks to eat them all. But Phew!! What a shame, none could even touch any of them. And this was the most difficult treasure hunt mind you. As for Sanjay Dutt, simply his career- worst but Akshay has many more such flicks to his credit(Tashan, Kambakht Ishq etc).

P.S. I know many names worthy of being called the worst of all time such as Asoka, Kisna, RNBDJ, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Drona, Singh is King, Dil Bole Hadippa, KANK and even some not worth mentioning like Deshdrohi, Fox, Sheesha and the likes have missed to figure in my worst 10 movies of the decade. But I was lucky to not watch most of the above mentioned horrors and that’s why could not consider them for selection. And yes, most hyped ones were my prime targets while picking 10 names.
