Worst Films of 2015 

After picking the best films of 2015, let’s look at the other side of the coin. There were some films which were certainly good in parts but in totality failed to impress the movie goers.

Let us know in the comments if you walked out of a film, regretted buying a ticket to any of the films from below.

Katti Batti

The title was unique and the star cast good. Even the marketing of the film was pulled out well. Apparently, Katti Batti was inspired by a few Hollywood flicks but failed miserably in its Indianized version. We see the load of the entire film on Imran Khan’s shoulder while Kangana gets little scope to show her talent. It turns out to be a very confused romantic story with a tragic cum happy end.  The duo really try to salvage the film, but their efforts go in vain, owing to a poorly written script.  Songs alone did pull us to the theater. All in all, hard luck!

Mr. X
 

The entertainment is invisible much like its lead star in the film. A very average plot sets the tone of the film with Emraan Hashmi seen as an Anti – Terrorist agent, who is trapped into killing the Chief Minister by his senior ACP Arunoday Singh, looking for a desperate promotion. The result burns Emraan into flames.  Thereafter, a sci-fi experiment helps the lead to turn invisible and plot a revenge. Not much can be said about new actress Amyra Dastur. The only saving grace are the songs.  Comparatively, Gayab of Tusshar Kapoor fame comes to mind.

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon

The endless wait for a good laugh remains throughout the film. A disappointing narrative centered around weak performers, mainly with misogynist wife jokes and unreal logic.

Kapil Sharma does somewhat well with his act but the film fails to entertain.  Better luck next time, we’d say.

 Roy
 

Looking for boredom, embrace Roy. It is a procrastinated effort in story-telling. You will be left to figure out what you saw.  Arjun Rampal, is apparently facing a writer’s block as a film-maker and trying to find inspiration in Jacqueline’s character. What is real , what is make-believe no can say even after the end credits roll on the film. 

Bombay Velvet

An ambitious project which was dismissed by the audience. Bombay Velvet had a disastrous run at the box office.  Balraj ( Ranbir Kapoor) wants to be a big shot as he sees his love, Rosie ( Anushka Sharma) hanging out with wealthy men. He takes help of Khambata ( Karan Johar) a media veteran to run illegal activities in the real estate sector. Events turn for the worse, when Khambata and Johnny ( nickname of Balraj) turn foes owing to the acquisition of a  minister’s dirty picture and betrayal by his lady love Rosie.

Bombay Velvet’s sets impress but the plot becomes too predictable and slow paced.

Shaandaar

Two insomniacs and a dream destination wedding  do not provide much to save a  well marketed ‘Shaandaar.’ The romance is missing, references to a fairy tale life seem unreal.

A wedding is arranged for one family to benefit financially while a real love blossoms between the bride’s sister ( Alia Bhatt) and the wedding planner JJ ( Shahid Kapoor).

Taking potshots at heavy duty weddings is all Shandaar offers. Not entirely warm. This one doesn’t give back much to the audience

So with this we’ll end 2015 and look forward to a great run of films in 2016. 

Mastizaade & Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3
 

Tusshar Kapoor & Aftab Shivdasani are back with their favorite and most successful genre of Adult Comedy.  They’re starting the year with a big BANG!

This time they will be essaying Porn Stars, alongside Mandana Karimi of Bigg Boss 9 fame. Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 is positioned as India’s first Porn Com film. It’s trailer was played on 40 odd porn websites as part of their promotional campaign. 

Here’s a bit about the film.

Tusshar Kapoor falls for the pretty Mandana in the film and in order to win her love he has to persuade her daddy dearest to give consent to their relationship.   For this, he gets his Porn Co-stars to look like his family. What follows is a series of hilarious situations around the family’s encounter with real life porn artistes in the guise of siblings. 

On the other hand, we have Mastizaade.  This will be Sunny Leone’s first attempt at Comedy along with seasoned Tusshar & Vir. The fans can expect a double treat as Sunny is seen in a twin role.  And as far as the story goes, it is centered around a LELE casino managed by Ritesh Deshmukh, seen in a cameo role. ‘Sikka Hilega’ was an apt tagline which suited the plot line as well as took care of innuendos in the film.

As quoted by Milap Zaveri, “When Sunny Leone heard the script, she had no reservations. In fact, I have exploited the boys more than her.”

Let's wait to see how the two perform at the Box Office! Kyaa Kool Hai Hum 3 to come out on Jan 2nd while Mastizaade will follow steps on Jan 29th.

Best Films of 2015 by B4U

The year of 2015 has seen a great line up of films. It’s been a treat for movie buffs who have spent their time watching some of the remarkable movies on celluloid. Now as we gear up to celebrate the New Year and welcome new films with all our love. Let’s take a look at some of the best films of 2015 by B4U.

Baby

Akshay Kumar starrer Baby has been a landmark film of 2015. It had all ingredients of a good story, good characters, loosely inspired by national affairs. Akshay Kumar, as seen portraying a secret agent for team Baby counters terrorism and prevents attacks with the support of his intelligence team. It is a film which made us proud of several such systems who counter adversary while making us feel extremely patriotic.

PIKU

Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan Khan & Deepika Padukone starrer PIKU was absolute magic. It rode high on the emotional quotient and struck a chord with families. Dealing with the situation of Constipation in a comical way, putting the core relation of Deepika & Amitabh at the center of the plot, while Irrfan gets beautifully tangled to it. We wish more films on Health and Families are made in the future.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha

A cute couple, where the lady is fat while the man is slim opt for an arranged marriage and wed each other. All hell breaks loose when problems of appearance start irking the husband, Ayushmann Khurrana. The levels of frustration rise in their marriage when Ayushmann expresses embarrassment for being seen with his new wife, Bhumi Pednekar. The duo fall in love during Dum Laga Ke Haisha, a local competition of carrying your partner on your back till the finish line. This simply told love story just stole our hearts.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan

Known to be Salman Khan’s best film so far. Bajrani Bhaijaan is a lovable film showing the bond between a young Pakistani mute girl, Harshaali Malhotra and a Hindu Man of India, who unite to find the little one’s lost family. Events turn around as they need to cross the Indo-Pak border, which they do with an unofficial consent of Pakistani soldiers. The story shows their deep affection for each other on their journey home. Chand Nawab aka Nawazuddin Siddiqui, a Pakistani TV Correspondent shields them from the local police, helping them to reach their destination. All in all, it’s a film to remember for a lifetime.

Dil Dhadakne Do

Clearly stating, ‘Do as your Heart wishes to’ Dil Dhadakne Do is a good family drama made for the masses. It deals with strained familial relationships of older and younger generations alike, while regaining the lost love among them all. Told from the perspective of a pet dog, this one is a pure attempt at film-making

Bajirao Mastani

Though fictional in bits and parts, as mentioned by the ace film maker, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Bajirao Mastani is one his best films rendered to the public. Ranveer as the warrior, Deepika as the madly in love Mastani and Priyanka as Kashibai as a strong lady who’s sacrificial act impresses viewers. The history is well visited and a tragic love story recreated to relate to all broken hearts. The socio-religious angles played up for perfect dramatization make Bajirao Mastani, one of the best films of the year

All in all, we have our appetite satiated with films of 2015. Here’s looking forward to a fun filled filmy 2016.
