10 Worst Bollywood movies of 2005

Only a few weeks remain in a year, which arguably was a real low for bollywood, punctuated with atrocious displays of film-making, comprising repetitive, run of the mills storylines, simplistic, cheesy remakes and disappointing treatments to much-hyped projects.

No doubt this would lead to much hue and cry, a lot of angry words written in the film journals and publications, calling for the need to overhaul the system, make bollywood more professional and the urgent need to encourage and invest in creative, independent filmakers to compete at an international level. Ha!

Meanwhile here's my list of the top 10 worst movies for the year 2005. It was a tedious task to choose just ten cos they were plenty of movies which had an equally likely chance of being on the list. And also the list restricts itself to movies I've watched. So please don't be upset if a movie you've had a particular displeasure of watching is not on the list. My heartfelt commiserations.

so here goes:-

1) Elaan - Even a multi-star cast and Mithun Chakraborthy's high-profile comeback could not save this from crashing at the box-office and rightly so.

2) Insaan - Mind-numbingly inane, despite the presence of Akshay Kumar, who must be embarrassed to admit being part of this movie. Reminicent of 80's Telugu movie trash.

3) Kisna - Subhash Ghai's much-hyped box-office debacle. Words cannot begin to describe the nonsense allowed to be shown on the screen.

4) James - Mindless violence. Shocking product from the Ram Gopal Varma factory.

5) Bewafaa - Worst of the worst. A pretentious, preachy movie dealing with the issue of adultery featuring bollywood heavyweights Akshay Kumar, Kareena kapoor,Anil kapoor. Manoj Bajpai delivers the most frightening over the top performance. Must be seen to be believed.

6) Waqt - A barely tolerable first half quickly goes down the toilet from which it never recovers despite the presence of Amitabh bachchan, Akshay Kumar.

7) Kaal - Another high-profile horror flick which had audiences laughing their socks off. Not a good sign.

8) Main Aisa Hi Hoon - Movie does incredibly well to insult the intelligence of the average movie-watcher.

9) Yakeen - The most incredible plot ever to be told, with loopholes so large a few trucks could comfortably drive through.

10) Fareb - The movie requires Manoj Bajpai to play a dashing, stylish, playboy..Enough said.


Others worth mentioning : - Koi Aap sa, Bachke Rehna Re Baba, Blackmail
