Many big movies failed to live upto the expectations last year, for instance Gunday, Shaadi ke Side Effects, Gulaab Gang, Bobby Jasoos, Singham Returns, Mary Kom, Daawat e Ishq, Bang Bang, Happy New Year, Kill Dil and Happy Ending. Phew, that is seriously a big list of disappointments!
But there have been even terrible movies (out of ones that I saw) that made my top5 list. Here’s a look at them :
1. The Xpose
There’s a shot in the song ‘Dard dilo ke’ where Himesh has got goggles on and walking with a dead straight face along with the actress, that you just won’t stop laughing at the lack of chemistry and acting plus you get a feeling that maybe Himesh is blind. The movie is full of such instances, brainless sequences where a murdered girl is shown falling off a building thrice for no fucking reason and then her flashback murder scene is hilarious too. Leave aside two scenes, Himesh yet again confirms the inevitable thought that he can’t act. The director couldn’t even get the court-room scene right, a case gets solved on 1st hearing itself. Its a pity to see Irrfan Khan in a small appearance. Both actresses have nothing to offer in their performances either. To make it worse, Himesh the composer fails too with songs like ‘Ice-cream khayungi, kashmir jaayungi'. And guess what, sequel of this film coming this year.. These film-makers and actors fall under category who never learn from their mistakes. Himesh will continue to spoil his good music career once he had due to this acting keeda he wants to not put a end to.
2. Ragini MMS 2
Sunny Leone plays role of actress for a director named Rocks who wants to make a movie on Ragini scandal that happened in 1st part. In a scene when Leone goes for character research, Rocks says ‘Yeh porno se rituporno kab ban gayi’. Leone goes to meet a mental Ragini in asylum who is said to be possessed, but our actress is very brave. Sandhya Mridul talks in a accent only she and director knows why! Divya Dutta chips in with decent cameo, but a strange character that takes dangerous and unusual cases, and then goes to help Leone on her own at midnight knowing it may even cost her life. Sunny Leone’s porn status is getting exploited a lot in all her films, first Jism2, then a double meaning item number and now this movie where writer puts dreamy sex sequences, lesbian scene and some erotic scenes too. As an actress, she once again shows she can’t act, except for one scene where she has to fakely seduce a guy which would had been a routine scene for her. The movie is terrible in every regards, be it direction, writing, dialogues. Only plus point of movie is the song ‘Baby Doll’.
3. Entertainment
You get to see Akshay in a fatty makeup avatar in 1st scene, and you realize what type of movie you are heading into. Then there’s the over the top Krishna who continues his hamming from Bol Bachchan to this movie. Tamannah stars yet again in a nonsense movie with insignificant role. One standout scene is when Akshay meets Mithun first time who plays a total kanjoos father having a candlelight meeting to save electricity. Johnny Lever is other respite in this film who still hasn’t lost his comic touch. Sonu Sood and Prakash Raj have a hilarious entry scene but what follows after is a very predictable and boring comedy. When the most liked character in the movie is a dog, then its easily understandable how bad the movie is. Akshay has been doing good films every now and then, but he needs to stop going for these over the top and meaningless comedies.
4. Kaanchi
When I saw Yuvvraaj, I thought Subhash Ghai is coming back, maybe next movie he will be completely in the zone. But Kaanchi tells it was just a illusion, as Ghai tries too hard to bring his old hit movie formulas to work in today’s modern cinema and all of it falls flat completely. The debut actress Mishti almost screams in most of her dialogues, and dependable actor Kartik is given just 15-20 mins role. Then there’s a song ‘Kambhal ke neeche’ that tries to ruin old hit Ghai songs, and tells a lot about the mind-set Ghai is in while filming now a days. Music is very average! Rishi Kapoor also chooses a wrong role for a change after been so good in past 2-3 years specially. Only Mithun is likable in the movie in a negative shade.
5. Jai Ho
If you thought that Arbaaz Khan messed up Dabangg franchise with his poor direction, then watch this movie that says Sohail Khan is even worse at direction level. Salman’s action skills and punchlines is used as USP but that has worked in many films in past, here Sohail tries to provide a message ‘help someone and ask him/her to help another three’, and this message is banged on our head till the end of the movie. There is one of worst directed army sequence ever too in the film. Genelia takes a weird 3 scene role that only she would know why she did it, and so is the case with Tabu who we don’t want to see in such stupid films, she has one great scene in movie though along with Danny Denzongpa. Daisy-Salman love angle doesn’t work too. The movie has a long list of supporting actors, among whom only Mounish Behl leaves a impression. Songs by Sajid-Wajid are the usual forgettable ones except for ‘apna kaam banta’ which works with movie atleast. In the end, its just one of those irritating movies where you wait for the torture to end.
