Ra.One and the 14 other worst movies of 2011


5. Game
When Bollywood makes a mess, it makes a HUGE mess. Game isn’t just a trainwreck – it pummels the train off the rails, sets it on fire and kills everyone onboard. This poor excuse of a murder mysteryis spectacular only in the sense that its stars Abhishek Bachchan and Kangana Ranaut make spectacles of themselves.

The film is rife with hilariously bad whodunit clichés, plotholes and characters like the International Police who’re as earth-shatteringly stupid as possible. The big kahani mein twist is so ham-fisted you expect Porky the Pig to make an appearance. Fortunately director Abhinay Deo redeemed himself later this year with Delhi Belly.

4. Ra.One
The most expensive Bollywood movie ever makes even atheists want to storm Buddhist monasteries to find an oasis of serenity. Ra.One contains such high quality humour as scantily clad Chinese babes named Iski Lee, Uski Lee & Sabki Lee; and a male security guard who licks his lips at the sight of SRK’s pierced nipples. Curly-haired Shahrukh Khan’s hysterically bad acting reaches its zenith in what is supposed to be his pivotal, emotional scene. He later whimpers and mewls like a little girl and proceeds to grab Arjun Rampal by the crotch, making what is already an embarrassing movie even more unwatchable. Not even Kareena Kapoor, who looks aggressively stupid and blissfully unaware of it while driving a Mumbai local train, could save this mess.

3. Ready
Ready is a Salman Khan film that justifies traveling back in time to pre-emptively kill Salim Khan. Ready is not a movie – it is an object of pity and derision.As directed by Anees Bazmee with his characteristic disregard for common sense, this is bad even by the standards of Z-grade Hindi cinema. Every third joke here is self-referential, from naming Salman’s own films to punchlines of dozens of ads. The remainder of the comedy includes avante garde stuff like kids taking off their knickers and peeing on peoples’ faces. A zoo monkey could come up with a more intelligent script than this – that too by just by doodling on the walls of his cage with his own stool that he’d been eating off the floor.

2. Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge
I kind of love Y-Films. They’re blowhard, publicity whores, unbelievably delusional, and utterly incompetent as a quality film studio, but they’re unapologetic about it. And there’s something endearing about that. I mean, anyone who has the balls to publicly call film critics as idiots is actually sort of heroic when you think about it. Yes, their films are truly horrendous, but at the same time they’re so bad there’s something almost transcendent about them. They are Bollywood’s Ed Wood. Ultimately Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge, by virtue of its go-for-broke, awesomely inept atrociousness, will be remembered long after Y-films’ middle-of-the-road stinkers like Virus Diwan will have faded from our collective memory.

1. Mausam
I’m at a loss for words about what else I could possibly say about Mausam to deter anyone from watching it. Everything about it is terrible. The longer it went on, the more I hated it. Mausam is the only film in the history of cinema that should be declared a health hazard. To watch it, you need Fevi Kwik glue since it is the only thing that will keep your eyes from rolling repeatedly at the hoary clichés. Shahid Kapoor in an IAF suit is surpassed in apparent foolishness only by the hideously fake CGI plane that shames the special effects used in 1967’s Wahaan ke log. I do not recall ever laughing at anything the film intended as funny. But I did laugh occasionally at its clumsiness. My favorite example of Mausam’s idiocy was the climax when Shahid Kapoor rescues a white horse and a kid atop a Ferris wheel with his paralysed hand. If it had all been on purpose, Mausam would have gone down as one of the greatest comedies of all time.

Dishonorable Mentions: Thank you, Bheja Fry 2, Chatur Singh 2 Star and Love Breakups Zindagi.

    Mujhse Friendship Karoge was one of the best film of 2011. I am sure the author haven’t seen most of the films he listed in his article or would not have included MFK, Ready (decent flick thats why trended well) and ZMND which is the best movie of 2011 and one of my all time favorites.

    Even Not a love story was so engaging till the end, this proves that these so called critics not only deserved bad mouthing and abuses by Sajid Khan or Rohit shetty or Aneez Bazmee but they also should be Castrated and made to stand naked in front of theatres with housefull boards as a cover to the vulgarity.

    Mihir Fadnavis is one of the rudest critic around. Statements like go back in time and kill Salim Khan are absolutely uncalled for and too strong a reaction for a film he did not like! And ZNMD is in the list! That says a lot doesn’t it!

    Mausam – I feel sorry for Mihir and his ability as critic..I probably won’t contest when an average audience say they didn’t like the movie..Mausam is certainly not a masterpeice..It could have improved its screenplay but its vision is better than most of the movie..If you can not see that you don’t need to be a critic.

    mihir fadnavis?????????? – who is this guy? ohhhh I mean who do not know this guy ?? a frustrated bloody soul know only to criticize without any knowledge. In any case no one is interested in his reviews.

    Completely agree with FS.

    Saying ZNMD is a bad muvi itself is a sin…and placing Rascals above ZNMD is a sin for which hanging till death shud be da punishment

    I believe Mihir is trying to grab some eyeballs and hence he has written this article.

    See if you say the same thg which 1000 other critics are saying then probably no one will notice you, but then if you slam a movie like ZNMD (I personally did not this movie) which was highly acclaimed then ppl will automatically read your stuff and talk abt it.

    CHEAP PUBLICITY

    I know some people who didn’t like ZNMD, and I know some people who didn’t like Ready..but this superstar doesnt like either. I think he should just stop watching Bollywood movies.

    MFK was a good movie. I remember this critic having an issue with Y-films on twitter. They had long volley of tweets against each other for a few days. And this happened while Y-films were promoting MFK.

    @FS – MAIN TUMHAARE SAATH HOON. PAR MERA IDEA YE HAI KI HOUSEFULL BOARD GALE MEIN LATKAO NEECHE NAHIN WARNA SSRI EXCERSIZE KA FAAYEDA KYA?

    and this pseudo-intellectual mihir is so ‘patriarchal’. why wud he travel in time ti kill salim khan? isnt salman the son of his mom to, equally, if not more?

    just shows that the pseudos kabhi poore intellectual nahin ban sakte. just like 3 idiots had a scene where spern (without egg) is supposed to be the human being (actually the human male to be precise)

    by the way this article is posted by utkal and 3 idiots and utka connection is legendar. so there definitely is an ‘utkal connect’ in both the most outrageous cases of patriarchal obesrevation on NG. can we assume utak is also a patriarchal misogynist? what say shaludidi?

    Great to see MFK Supprters Turnout in Large Numbrs here.

    I have always maintained Fadnavis is a Chuziya of the Highest Order & People shud just Ignore his Rants.

    Critics like him and Raja Sen,Masand are just Attention-Seeking Wannabes.

    …..

    B.Rangan is sucha a Rock Star in that sense.

    I also appreciate Karan Anshuman, Minty Tejpal, Anupama Chopra,Indicine,Sudhir Kamat,Mayank Shankar and our very own Sanket!
