2017 was a year of mediocre movies more than terrible movies. But there were some films like always that were indeed very hard to watch last year.
My top 5 Worst Movies :
• Aksar 2 (Characters behaving oddly, and speaking stupid dialogues)
• Baadshaho (An uninterested Ajay Devgan, over the top punchlines, wierd climax)
• Commando 2 (Derails like hell after a good twist at interval)
• Haseena Parkar (Big mistake of thinking Shraddha will pull off Brando)
• Tubelight (Salman's hard effort in vain, terrible script with a ridiculous laugh out loud climax)
My Top 5 Disappointing Films of 2017, films I had great expectations and failed miserably :
1. Raees
Good trailer doesn't make for a great film. Shahrukh's breakdown scene turns out to be funny telling how bad the film becomes in 2nd half. And Nawaz-Shahrukh rivalry in the story fails to make a mark too. Irritating songs forced into narrative, its a watchable movie but expected more. We still do get a very good 'mai ka laal' scene of Shahrukh, only positive takeway I can find.
2. Simran
Hansal got back on track with Aligarh, now he messes up again pretty much like 'Citylights', despite good performance from Kangana, its really hard to love this film. Plus on the contarary to what critics felt, I found Soham very irritating. There are still some good laugh out moments, specially in 1st half mainly due to Kangana, but not a film I would like to see again.
3. Daddy
Looked like a better version of 'Raees' from trailer, with story revolving on mafia in a more dark way than commercial. But what destroyed this film was the narrative, using a cop to interview people who knew Gawli and rewind back to show his life, it just never made me connect to the movie or its characters. Sadly, Rampal's good acting went waste, can't say the same about Farhan Akhtar, who was miscast in his unintentional hilarious portrayal of Dawood.
4. Badrinath ki Dulhania
A very hilarious 1st half, after which the director wanted to make it a social movie out of no where, resulting in a 2nd half that I just couldn't tolerate. The way 'Tamma tamma' (bad remake of a classic song) is used in narrative sums up how the film lost whatever impact it had during early parts of 1st half.
5. Chef
A trailer that suggested Saif may have a good film in hands, but the movie unlike its original Hollywood one, never really made me hungry for food which it should had, rather we get a roti pizza regularly and no variety at all. And then the emotional bonding between father and son that was the main plot of movie, didn't work too.
