Buzz18 critics pick the movies they hated the most in the year's first quarter
Number Ten: Straight
It's time someone tells Vinay Pathak that he should stop doing solo-hero movies. Straight is one disaster Vinay would rather forget sooner than later. With some of the most insipid performances and a stupid storyline, Straight could not have been any cheesier, crappier.
Number Nine: Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye
Suffering one Randeep Hooda is bad enough. So you can imagine what we must have gone through during this film that had a new one popping up every few minutes. Even if we overlook this torture, can't forgive the makers of the movie for using DDLJ's classic number as the title of this drab film.
Number Eight: Chal Chala Chal
This dated Govinda flick is not even a one-time watch. In the film Govinda starts a transport service to pay off his debts. Forget the plot, he owes us the price of my ticket.
Number Seven: EK – The Power One
It's a surprise they even make such movies! There's absolutely nothing original about this 'contract-killer-turns-noble' plot. Done to death clichs coupled with Bobby Deol's never-changing grim expression leave the viewer with a terrible headache.
Number Six: Victory
There is a scene in the film where Hurman Baweja dons the Indian cricket team's blue jacket for the first time; it gave us the Goosebumps. Yet for most part the movie was so yawn inducing, it was hard to believe that the director expected us to pay and watch the movie.
Number Five: Videsh – Heaven On Earth
The Indian viewer has moved on from snakes and superstitions. High time these NRI directors also did. How could a so-called 'intellectual filmmaker' like Deepa Mehta sc**w it up so badly?
Number Four: Karma Aur Holi
Sushmita Sen and Randeep Hooda in a film that has been in the making for what seemed like forever is not our idea of great cinema. Add to that the much hackneyed plot of Indians living in the West and the bullc**p that goes with it. You'd have been happier buying Satyam shares than tickets to this one.
Number Three: 8x10 Tasveer
We had begun to wonder if it get worse than Jumbo and CC2C for Akshay Kumar? As usual, Akshay surprised us – this time in not such a pleasant way. He came up with 8x10 Tasveer! Nagesh Kukunoor's attempt at doing a Manoj Night Shyamalan is a turkey from the word go. Far from shocking, the second Akshay popping up in the climax is one LOL moment!
Number two: Chandni Chowk to China
Supreme overconfidence or just a callous attitude towards the audiences, we're not sure what of the two drove Akshay Kumar to even go ahead and promote the film the way he did. With a plotline stuck in the '80s and performances that still give us the nightmares, Chandni Chowk to China even threatened to come back with a sequel
Number One: Delhi-6
It's a crime even to think that someone had invested money in this disaster! We're not sure if it was a movie or some zoo video what with a dove here and a monkey there. Not to mention the zero chemistry between Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor.
WHICH IS THE WORST FILM OF 2009? HAVE YOUR SAY!
