The worst ten moments of Bollywood – 2008

30Dec08

1. De Taali - The poster. An all time creative nadir.
2. Dostana - John Abraham invites Priyanka Chopra for dinner and a movie. He cooks food for both and then in an incredibly romantic setting they watch…Kuch Kuch Hota Hai! KKHH??
3. Drona – A very bloated Abhishek Bachchan (Drona) trying to pass off some cheap moves as Parkour when chased by the followers of KK (Riz Raizada). AB’s baby makes cool look ugly.
4. Heroes – An adrenaline-shot induced Sunny Deol going berserk in a night club and doing a maa-behen of physics. Although on the hindsight Sunny paaji can do anything. Anything! Balwant Rai ke kuttooooon…Last heard his next movie is titled ‘The Man’. Bring it on paaji.
5. Karzzzz - Aaaaarrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
6. Race – Read an earlier review. Nuff said.
7. Sorry Bhai! – A very unconvincing Sharman Joshi trying to convince everyone about a Wavometer that reads the frequency of human minds. Whatever the frak that is! Sigh! Things we have to put up with for Chitrangada Singh. Anyways this has inspired me work on a WTFrakometer for future rants and reviews and like ‘Siskel and Ebert’ gave their Two thumbs up I shall be generous with the usage of my patented WTFrakometer. If you thought it was Rajeev Masand who coined the Two thumbs up thingie than let me tell you he is a fraud and all the people on review sites and TV shows who are generous with their twin digits are fraud.
8. Yuvvraaj - ‘Woh ek hard-core anti-family man hai’! WTF!!! Who wrote the dialogues?
9. Singh Is Kinng – The entire movie. As a friend summed it up brilliantly – ‘I am a certified retard after watching the movie’. One more to the club of retards.
10. My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves – Anil Kapoor explaining Stanislavski and method acting to a hapless Nikhil Dwivedi in less than 2 mins and you thought only instant noodle can be made in that time frame.

N.B: Despite the fact that I loathe to use the term Bollywood, Hindi Cinema is cumbersome to use as a single entity. There were some amazing moments as well and a lots of them too. My next post will be about those 10 great moments of the year.
