There is bad. And then there is BAD. And somewhere below that, there's the mandatory acting rehab variety of bad.
As the year ends, here's an unceremonious tribute to all that ailed the world of cinema for the past twelve months:
Katrina Kaif, Bang Bang
Call this is a broad generalization if you will, but here's the thing about supposedly boring' receptionists from Shimla - Nor do they have sultry figures nor misleading accents nor the emoting capabilities of a teaspoon.
The entire cast of Humshakals
While we might be willing to forgive Bipasha for cutting all ties and dissociating herself from the movie while she still could, the rest of the motley cast of this major dud isn't as lucky. Step aside please, while we judge away in peace.
Daisy Shah, Jai Ho
Salman's arm candy from that movie about the common man (Yes, ANOTHER one. Because it's not like there are enough movies on the common man already) doesn't ring a bell? Our point hence made.
Sonam Kapoor, Bewakoofiyan
Because no one should have to deal with recession and put up with that whiny a girlfriend at the same time. We are talking about basic human rights here.
Bipasha Basu, Creature 3D
When you have critics saying that they were actually rooting for the creature killing the human beings, just to escape the lacklustre performances, it ain't difficult to know that you're doing it wrong.
Sonakshi Sinha, Action Jackson
For dragging womankind back two steps in the phase of evolution as the blonde HR chick infatuated with Ajay's boxers, we shall forever owe thee big time.
Dis-honorary Mention: Deepika Padukone, Happy New Year
Dance ek ourt' hai, ourt.' Pulling off an exotic dancer with an ear-cringingly bad accent in this hamfest - Not so much.
No Shraddha here too.
