Worst Hindi movies

I was so frustrated while watching a hindi movie recently, that I wanted to make sure I add that movie to a list of MUST-NOT-SEE even if you are offered a $1 bn!!!

Unfortunately there isnt one, so I thought I'll make my own. So here it goes.

1. Home Delivery
This is the movie what inspired me to write this blog.

A truly hardcore awful movie which actually makes you feel like you are in the middle of a bad dream. This could not have been any worse, and I dare say that even the actors in the movie could not have sat through the movie premiere.

The plot is about a "Style guru" (Viveik Oberoi) & Boman Irani (Pizza guy). That's ALL I could remember, and yeah there is Nani (a bountiful actress)

Horrid Quotient: 10/10

2. Gangster
I really wonder if Emraan Hasmi was a pimp, if he isnt I'll be disappointed. This is definately the first and the last Hasmi movie I'll ever see!

Shiney "Silent" Ahuja plays a "Big Ganglord" who insists on bashing / shooting himself. God, what message are we sending the world when India is the heartland of global outsourcing!

I love the ham scene that Shiney has done, he's crying and delivering a dialogue at the same time. I bet there was somthing sinister that he had done to the editor, for no editor worth his salt would have retained this scene. I'll try to post a movie clip of that scene.

Horrid Quotient: 9/10

3. Govinda Flixs
He's responsible for the bastardisation of Indian cinema. Give your money to some charity rather than watching Govinda's filthy work!

Horrid Quotient: 9.9/10

4. All these remakes - Don, Umrao Jaan and even Sholay!
God! Is there such a compulsion to make films, that directors are shamelessly agreeing that they are ready to make "copies" of original blockbusters. If they are really worth their salt, they should pick up all the disastrous movies and turn them into worthwhile movies. That would indeed be a tribute to the fallen artisans - they failed once, but their work was re-surrected.

Horrid Quotient: 8/10

5. Amitabh Horrors - Ganga Jamuna Saraswati, a few that I dont wanna remember names of...
They say even god falters, he certainly did so when he got a certain woman to marry a certain man that I know, however Amitabh isnt just god, he is far larger and grander than the almighty.

Or so we thought...but the movies listed above have proven that he's "Only Human!".

Horrid Quotient: 7/10

6. Neal N Nikki
There is loads of stuff already written about how horrible this movie is. It proves only one point, you cannot do anything if your star-child is a dud. Not only are the two actors (Uday & Tanisha) horrible to look at, they make matters worse by skipping acting classes altogether. Why is Uday so hell bent on making himself into a star...I mean those lip-sticks that he has on throughout the movie are a real low-point in Bollywood history. Gosh wonder what inspired this movie.

Horrid Quotient: 10/10

7. Apna Sapna Money Money
Filthy, Vulgar and down-right cheap. This movie is probably aimed at the void left by Govinda's disappearance from movies. The movie is very cleverly aimed at profits though, it is sure to end up a little above the red line for sure.

Horrid Quotient: 8/10

8. Bhagam Bhag
The movie is outrageously horrid. Crap dialogues, terrible looking actors, and an incoherent plot. The only thing good about the movie is I finally got to see the Member of Parliament of my area since the time he showed his face during elections.

Horrid Quotient: 9.9/10

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Saw this movie today!

The movie had a profounding effect, to begin with I make my wife chant hold hymns whenever I believe there might be a demon lurking in her. Well the movie's nice but arent there too many "facts" about demons and excorcisms which provoke one to think there is probably nothing more than the millions of dollars that such film-producers make?
